"My Father’s Voice" by Lucas Hampton: A Song of Grace Over Shame


"My Father's Voice" by Lucas Hampton is a powerful song about finding our true identity in Christ. In Christ there is no room for shame, no matter what we have done or how badly we have messed up our lives. Lucas reminds us that we find our worth in Jesus, even when others (or the shame we feel) are trying to tell us otherwise. Lucas emphasizes the truth that his love and grace are for us, and ultimately we belong to Jesus. 

Lucas Hampton - My Father's VoiceThe lyrics hit hard right from the start: "I can't believe, the love you lavish over me / I am undone because of all that you have done for me." This is the awe-inspiring reality of God's grace for everyone who invites Him to be part of their lives. Letting God be part of our lives means: "I let my Father's voice define me, He's the only one who can / I tell my shame to get behind me, Cause that's not who I am." It's the best way to silence the lies and embrace His truth.

God is constantly at work with us, helping us to change our mindset and look to Him for everything: "You call me worthy, you call me loved / When I'm lost and broken you say I am enough." He is Grace, His arms are always open for us, ready to redefine the way that we see ourselves. May this song, with its rich instrumentation and powerful message, remind you Whose you truly are. May the Father's voice be the voice that leads your path.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:4-5; Isaiah 43:1; Zephaniah 3:17)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
