Thankfully Christian - I Am A Child Of God (EP)Tragically, he lost his parents while he was young and turned to Christ with full dedication and found his purpose in sharing God's love through music.

The lyrics of these songs are filled with confidence and gratitude, reminding us of our place as beloved children of God. Here is a summary of the message and intent of each song:

  1. Take It To The Cross is an upbeat track that encourages us to surrender sin, embrace faith, and follow Jesus daily. With a catchy refrain, it reminds us to live in His light, guided by grace, love, and truth, as we pursue His purpose and lift everything to the cross.
  2. Living Water, Eternal Life highlights our longing for spiritual fulfillment and the freedom that we can only find in Christ's love.

With hands lifted high and hearts open wide, it celebrates unwavering faith, grace, and trust in His plan. The message of this song helps us to embrace every challenge with His love and a smile in our heart and soul that reflects His glory.
  4. Do Not Fear is a reassuring song based on Psalm 23. It reminds us of God's constant presence and care. The lyrics use the imagery that we also find in this Psalm, the imagery of still waters, dark valleys, and overflowing blessings, to encourage us to place our trust in His guidance, find comfort in His protection, and face life's challenges without fear.
  5. Awaken My Soul is a worship song that invites us to stand up and celebrate God's unending love and mercy. The lyrics make use of imagery of morning dew, sheltering wings, and radiant light, intended to remind us that His presence renews our spirit, chases away fear, and fills our hearts to overflow, regardless if we are facing times of joy or pain.

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...

"Praise You In The Morning" by Taylor Pride: Waking up to the sound of Worship

(by Jasper Tan) Taylor Pride's latest single, "Praise You In The Morning" is an uplifting song that is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness in different seasons and circumstances. The song is an acknowledgement that even if we are facing hardships and difficulties, we should still continue to praise God, for he is our provider and protector. And that he has promised to redeem us in his perfect time. The song follows an established style of Taylor's "heart-on-your-sleeve" type of worship song, drawing inspiration for this song's music from the likes of Cody Carnes and Phil Wickham's songs, the likes of which are simple with an easy-to-sing chorus layered by joyful sounds. The lyrics serve as a prayer for those in the "desert seasons," suggesting that praise is a choice made even in times of uncertainty with our faith. The song uses the transition from night to day as a metaphor for moving from weeping to hope. It is a modern worship...
