"I’ll Go" by Matthew Simmons: Trusting God Through Every Step


Matthew Simmons released "I'll Go", a powerful song about wholeheartedly following Jesus, no matter where He leads you. The song captures what it means to surrender to God and declares, "Where you go I'll go" and "The compass of my heart, You point me to the light." This is such an encouraging reminder that God always meets us where ever we are and wraps us in His love, even though the world may say that we'll never measure up. 

Matthew Simmons - I’ll GoThe main theme of this song's message focuses on trust and devotion, and that includes trusting that He will always be with you, even when life seems to go the wrong way. Inspiring lyrics like "In the blessing and the breaking, I'll never be forsaken" emphasize that God is always there for us, no matter what ups and downs we're going through. He doesn't let us go, and any distance we may be feeling is only because we're starting to let go of Him. We trust that you'll enjoy how Matthew Simmons and Curtis Ray manage to create a sense of freedom, excitement, and joy that reminds us of how we'll feel when we surrender to God's call. 

The message of finding freedom and joy in surrender may sound a bit like a contradiction, but realize that it is about surrendering your will to the ultimate Source of freedom and joy. That is the core message that turns this song into a lifeline, or better yet, a roadmap for anyone who is looking for courage to take that leap of faith. So, whether you're navigating life's highs or lows, may this song remind you that God is always there for you and He gives purpose to your life. May this song encourage you to follow Him boldly and commit to walk fearlessly with Him along the path that He has set out for you.

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...
