"All My Praise" by Crossroads Bigfork Worship: Worship Beyond Emotions


"All My Praise" by Crossroads Bigfork Worship is a song that emphasizes that worship should be an expression of our devotion to God in every circumstance and through every season of life. Written by Worship Pastor Ben Erickson from Montana, it's a response to a common struggle we all may feel during or after church services, where worship sometimes gets gets tied to emotions or preferences. "Worship isn't about the feeling," Erickson explains, "but about who Jesus is." That is one of the key messages that you immediately see in the lyrics: "It's not a feeling emotion // Or a space that I'm in // It's a reverence, a constant // Oh, I know who my God is." 

Crossroads Bigfork Worship - All My PraiseThe song's heartbeat is consistency. "In every single season // My heart will choose to give," and "Jesus, Redeemer, my strength and strong tower // The calm in the middle of the storm." Life will throw chaos on our path, and whatever happens, your praise should remain steadfast because of who He is. The chorus summarizes it all: "Here it is, here you go // All my praise is yours… Nothing else, no other name." 

The song is performed by intern Amy-Joy Jost, and carries a raw pure sincerity. It encourages us to lay down our lives at His feet - not because everything's perfect, but because He is perfect. If you've ever doubted or misunderstood what the purpose of worship is, may this song realign your heart to what true worship is. True worship isn't a mood; it's a choice… your choice.

(Related scripture: Psalm 100:2; Romans 12:1; Hebrews 13:15)

"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...

"One That Matters" by Marija Clara: Because Only One Voice Matters

The song "One That Matters" by Marija Clare was born in a sunlit home studio in Tegucigalpa. The song sounds like a celebration, but the story behind the song adds a deeper meaning to the lyrics. Marija Clara wrote this song after a miscarriage, and that contrast shapes the song’s message! Joy isn't denial of the facts. Joy is what comes after the facts... joy is healing in the presence of Jesus. In other words, the bright horns and Latin rhythms are not just for dancing, they’re a reminder that God can turn even the most raw grief into a place of renewal. In these lyrics, Marija names the pressure that you probably also feel around you: everyone watching, expecting you to achieve, you can't permit yourself to slow down. Instead of chasing every demand, she points us to the freedom of knowing that when we have Christ, everything else in our lives becomes secondary. Each line in the song circles back to this simple confession: He is the only One that matters, He resha...

Haddon’s ‘In Your Arms’: Finding New Life in Christ

Haddon's song "In Your Arms" does a beautiful job of describing challenges that many of us know all too well. Based on Romans 8:6, Haddon sings about his own battle with sin and how Christ helped him overcome. For many years, Haddon found himself stuck in a cycle of self-destructive habits and sin. Pride and lust had brought him to the end of his rope. He kept going further down and wondered when he would reach the bottom. But remembering Romans 6 brought him hope, realizing true life is found only by setting your mind on Jesus.  The lyrics feel like an honest conversation with a friend, urging those who feel lost or weary to turn to God. If you've ever felt crushed by pride, trapped by sin, or just plain exhausted, Haddon's assures you that life is full and hope is certain, where God's embrace is like a gentle hand that is guiding you back on track.  Only God brings hope and new life. As Haddon shares: "So through fire and water, whatever the trial may b...
