"Beautiful Savior" by Rorie: From ER Room Visit to Worship Song


"Beautiful Savior" by Rorie is a heartfelt conversation with God that was born during a visit to the ER at 3:30 am on Easter morning. Rorie was getting help for an asthma episode, and while waiting, Rorie reflected on the paradox of pain and hope: "It was a dark night and day waiting for answers," she penned, echoing her own vulnerability.

Rorie - Beautiful SaviorRorie shares, "I was sitting there thinking about how Jesus knew what was going to happen to Him and yet still chose to die for us, even while we were so undeserving. He went through unimaginable suffering and paid the price for our sins so that no matter where we have been or what we have done, we can have new life and eternal life through believing in and following after Him. All because of who He is and what He has done!"

As the truth of the Gospel flooded her heart, she realized that she couldn't stay silent about it, even though her voice couldn't sing. She continues, "Not only did He pay the price for us, but He conquered death and rose again!" The words for the song continued to flow onto her paper.

The sound of the cello, played by Gaylyn Foto, is a beautiful companion to Rorie's vocals and amplifies the message of the song. Her lyrics, "You paid the price for all… dying for me // And rising again," point our focus to the wonderful rescue mission of Christ, His rescue mission to save us so we one day may return Home to His embrace. This song isn't a retelling of the Easter story; it's about our story and invites us to stand still and reflect on His grace. "Once so far from You // By grace we now draw near," describing the journey we all go through in life and how beauty rises from ashes through His grace. May this song remind you that God is there for you, even in life's ER moments, and that the light of His resurrection changes everything.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24; Revelation 5:12)

"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....
