"Praise The Lord" by CIELØ: Where Electronic Beats Meet Devotion


"Praise The Lord" was written during a challenging time in CIELØ's life. His world felt like it was crumbling - but despite that brokenness, he felt the need to praise and thank God. Even during the hard times, God is good. "When I don't feel like praising, God lift my hands up even higher" a plea to God to help us cling to gratitude and worship when our emotions and feelings run dry.

CIELØ - Praise The LordThis song has great electronic beats, not too heavy that it would give CCM lovers a reason to skip the track, but still gives listeners a chill yet energetic summer vibe that gets your heart dancing. It's lines like "Praise Him for His mighty power // Praise Him for His endless love" that echo scripture's call to celebrate God at all times, no matter the circumstances we face. "Let everything that has breath // Praise the Lord" is a rallying cry for everyone to join in.

CIELØ aimed to make a song with a catchy melody, a good dance but chill vibe, with electronic music elements throughout it! I think everyone will agree that he did a great job with this, and made a one-of-a-kind song that beautifully combines our feelings of joy, praise, and surrender to God. If you're looking for music that lifts your spirit and, at the same time, reminds you of God's unchanging goodness, then this one is for you. Turn up the volume, let go, and let your praise rise.

(Related scripture: Psalm 150:1-2; Psalm 150:6; Lamentations 3:22-23)

"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...

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...
