"Under Your Wings" by Dominik Link: Sheltered in Summer Light


The instrumental track "Under Your Wings" by Dominik Link announces the first summer rays of sunlight breaking through a stormy sky. The melody brings the warmth of Psalm 91:1,4: "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. … He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge." The melody swells with hope, triggering images of summer light that chases away wintery darkness, much like the promise we find in Isaiah 60:1–2: "Arise, shine, for your light has come… the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you."

Dominik Link - Under your wingsThis isn't the type of music that you use as background music, because the way that it is created and performed feels like a musical sanctuary, mirroring the peace that we may feel when we rest under God's protection. It's a feeling that combines the literal joy of summer's approach with the spiritual renewal that only He can give us. The gentle yet vibrant tones remind me of the truth found in Psalm 36:7: "People take refuge in the shadow of your wings." Now, as you hold onto this image, imagine yourself watching a sunrise and feeling the weight of fear melt as His faithfulness becomes your shield. In this place of divine shelter, we may lift our voices in worship and give God a praise.

May "Under Your Wings" invite you to soak in God's light and let Him guide your heart. Go ahead and press play, close your eyes, and let the music remind you that His love is the ultimate refuge.

(Related scripture: Psalm 91:4; Psalm 36:7; Isaiah 60:1-2)

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford: Forgiven by the Cross, Made Whole

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford retells the well-known story of Christ's sacrifice with a deep personal gratitude. A new rendition of a song that Avery first introduced at a 1993 youth rally on a humble blue cassette tape (!) with the lyrics that focus on Jesus' innocence, His willingness to suffer, and the mystery of a love that is beyond anything we are able to comprehend. Instead of dwelling only on the sorrow, Avery points us to the hope that His tears have made possible. You hear him marvel at Christ's mercy, remind us of His forgiveness even in suffering, and celebrate the healing that comes from a life that He has made whole. The message in this worship anthem, reimagined with cinematic flair, is simple (but not easy): Jesus gave everything, and there is nothing we can do or could have done to earn such an ultimate sacrifice. "With tears in Your eyes, You died for me," but most of all, the lyrics highlight redemption's triu...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
