Thoughts And Notions - ‘Countdown to Forever’: A Journey of Faith and Hope


Philippine's Power Pop CCM band, Thoughts And Notions, are back with a song called 'Countdown to Forever.' Fans of the band will be thrilled to know that the band reunites with their former lead vocalist, Thrina Dimaano, after 15 years! The trigger behind this song is actually their reunion and a desire to declare their dedication to God's path with the world. 

Thoughts And Notions - Countdown to ForeverThe lyrics are relatable, describing the ups and downs of life that ultimately lead to celebrating God's constant presence. It is God's love that can save us when we're going through tough times (if you let Him). The chorus is a powerful affirmation that deserves repeating over and over again: "I'm going to ride through the turbulent waves // Knowing that you're here to save // I'll never let go of my grip // You're the only hope I keep // I'm counting down to forever // I'm counting down to forever."

So, sing along when your facing some of life's hardships and let the lyrics fill you with faith, encouraging you to recognize God's unwavering support. May this song help you to realize that you're never alone, and the best way forward is to hold onto God's promises with unwavering faith.

(Related scripture: Philippians 1:6; Isaiah 43:2; Psalm 62:5-6)

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...

"Send Me an Angel" by Josh Orange: Grace for the Struggle at 5 AM

What if help is one honest word away? Josh Orange, a folk-rock group from Sydney, Australia, wrote “Send Me an Angel” in about thirty minutes. Structure, lyric, the whole thing arrived at once and became the spark for the band’s sixth studio album. Some prayers work that way. They don’t wait for polish. The song opens at 5 am. A man puts his feet on the floor and asks Jesus, “for the strength to begin.” He doesn’t ask for much. He works for his living, and he isn’t proud of his sins. Then comes the plea: “Come help me Jesus. Send me an angel.” Sound familiar? You’ve tried hard, opened the door, and done it again. Gordon Burke, the lead singer of Josh Orange, sings about running all the way to Nova Scotia, and the further he went, the darker he got. Distance never fixed it. Ask yourself, where have you been running? Listen closely and notice what he never does. He never cleans himself up first. He prays with “blood on my boots,” and he prays honestly. Scripture says that’s the right w...
