"I Will Lift My Voice" by Nicole Spowart: Seeking God’s Face Through Worship


Nicole Spowart's "I Will Lift My Voice" is a powerful song about longing to know God more intimately. With lyrics like "I wanna know You more" and "Show me Your glory Lord," the song reflects the heart's cry that many have to be closer with the Father, and at the same time it offers help when we struggle to seek His presence above all else. The song is an invitation to lift our voices in praise, magnify His name, and glorify Him alone, declaring, "It's Your face I seek!" Some may say, "I wish this were me," and the beauty is that this change of heart is within our reach with His help.

Nicole Spowart - I will Lift My VoiceThere is an interesting backstory behind this song. Nicole wrote it after the radical transformation of her heart and life. She was writing and crying out in her heart to know Him more. When the song was recorded and delivered over the internet, a physical healing occurred. Nicole's husband had placed his hand on a BBQ the day before, and it blistered. When the song came through, they were healed!! Nicole truly believes that this song has the touch of heaven—and perhaps a healing anointing as well. 

May this song help to create an atmosphere of worship in your heart that invites you into God's presence and leads you closer to His heart. He promises that your yearning for intimacy with Him will not go unanswered and that He will encourage you in your walk.

(Related scripture: Psalm 29:2; Exodus 33:13; James 5:16)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
