"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)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...

'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.
