"Yahweh (Nothing Compares)" by Alex Young And Friends: Honoring the Creator of All Things


"Yahweh (Nothing Compares)" by Alex Young And Friends is a reminder of who God truly is - Creator, Sustainer, and King over all. Alex Young is a Christian singer-songwriter from Atlanta, GA, USA. He shares that this song began as a simple idea from one of his music students during a lesson. They worked on it together, and the result was so good that Alex had to record and release it. 

Alex Young And Friends - Yahweh (Nothing Compares)The lyrics take us back to the beginning: "You spoke the heavens into existence // They shout Your glory through starstruck skies." A familiar scene from Genesis 1. Then there's the poetic imagery of man created out of dust and watching life itself being woven together: "You sew the threads of life together and You fill us with Your breath." All of science put together can do amazing things, but nothing compares to our God. That realization invites us into a moment of reverence and gratitude.

No one and nothing can rival Yahweh's majesty. "Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the power // Yours is the glory, now and forever." God is almighty, powerful, creator, and deliverer! And in His majesty, He constantly emphasizes His plan for us and the place He has prepared. It's impossible not to feel small and, at the same time, deeply loved.

(Related scripture: Genesis 1:1-2; Psalm 19:1-2; Isaiah 43:7)

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"Temptation" by Dax: Fighting Spiritual Warfare Through Faith and Prayer

Have you ever felt like the battle against temptation is relentless? In his powerful track "Temptation," Dax reminds us that every moment of resistance is a victory. He doesn't shy away from the reality that "temptations outside, knocking at my door." Instead of hiding the struggle, he exposes it. He admits that while he "won the battle last night," the war continues. In other words, spiritual discipline is a daily choice. Dax explains that temptation finds safety in an "idle mind" and when we lack purpose. But most of all, he offers a strategy for triumph: "starve my flesh, then feed my spirit with faith." So, why trade your peace of mind for fleeting pleasure? The lyrics trace our struggles back to the garden and "Adam and Eve," and also point us toward redemption.  "Down by the Riverbend // in the garden, where the snake tempted Adam and Eve, // they ate the fruit and from those seeds // grew the roots of this ...

"The Perfect Love of Christ" by John Long: Mercy That Draws Us Near

(By Jasper Tan) It's the "love month" already, and there's no other way to celebrate it best but to remember the greatest lover of all, Jesus Christ. In John Long's CCM Folk song "The Perfect Love of Christ", John emotionally sings about how overwhelming it is to be loved by Jesus. All that He did for us is something that we cannot easily replicate, yet we usually take it for granted in favor of other earthly pleasures. We always want to say that we love someone, yet we can't fully back it up with a love that is pure. Because often than not, there's still a piece of our selfishness residing in our hearts. But Jesus does not have that. His love is selfless and always puts others' welfare before Himself. For how can He still love the sinners that wronged Him? That mocked Him and took away His life? As John emotionally sings these lines, "Oh my God, how could it be? That You would love me, That You would hold, That You would take the ones t...
