"Trust in God" (cover) by Emmanuel Songsore: Finding Strength in Surrender


Emmanuel Songsore - Trust in God (Elevation Worship Cover)

Emmanuel Songsore has just released a beautiful piano cover of "Trust in God" by Elevation Worship. As we're used to by now from Emmanuel, this cover is also filled with a delicate touch that adds to the powerful message of the original song. As I listen, the lyrics come to mind, and I am reminded to have confidence in God's promises: "I trust in God, my Savior, the one who will never fail." 

In the backstory, Emmanuel shares that he played this at the wedding of his twin friends' mother. He accompanied the twins on piano while they sang. Their mother was getting married again after the passing of their father. They spent countless years praying that God would bless her with a husband, and it had seemed like it would never happen. When God answered their prayer in this manner, they were filled with tears of joy.

This special occasion inspired Emmanuel to reflect on the power of trusting God, even when it seems to take ages before prayers are answered. The song reminded Emmanuel of Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." 

Beyond this personal backstory, the song is so beautifully played, including subtle variations that are becoming Emamanuel's signature in these covers. 

May this song encourage you to lean fully into God's guidance and accept that He has a plan that gives your life a special purpose. This song is a faith-booster and one that truly worth listening to. Enjoy!

"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...
