Marcus & Jalyn McGill's 'Deserted' – Have Faith and Patience, We're Never Deserted


"Deserted" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill is a beautiful single from their upcoming project "between barren & beautiful." This song uses poetic imagery of walking through a desert and compares this to our struggles as we wait on God's promises. Our struggles take us through feelings of hope and doubt, while all God asks from us is that we trust in His timing.

Marcus & Jalyn McGill - DesertedThe first half of "Deserted" captures our side of a journey—our struggle as we wait for God to fulfill His promises. You see the confusion and frustration in the lines like: "But day turns to night, and I sit in the dark," and "I look to the stars, but it is so hard, to believe again."

The second half of the song shifts to God's response and how He urges us to see His faithfulness even in difficult times. "Don't miss the beauty of the stars" and "you're not deserted" reminding us that God's presence and love are a constant factor, never to be doubted, and He is encouraging us to surrender and trust in His plan.

Sometimes we feel as if we're deserted, but the fact is that God is with us every step of the way.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 40:31; Deuteronomy 31:6; Psalm 91:1-2)

"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...

'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...
