"Shout Your Name" by Crossing Life Worship: A Call to Worship Without Limits


"Shout Your Name" by Crossing Life Worship was written in 2020 as a response to a message that was shared during "@crossingwindham" about the importance of praise. It wasn't until 2023 that the song was introduced at their church, Crossing Life Church. The song is now one of the favorites in their local church and throughout the region.

Crossing Life Worship - Shout Your NameThe inspiration for this song comes from passages in Isaiah 61 and Acts 16, passages that remind us to praise throughout the day, during all phases of our lives, not only when everything is going easy. The song's message isn't to ignore our problems; it's to choose to honor and praise Him even when our life is filled with chaos. In exchange for our praises, God offers us "Beauty for ashes // Joy for mourning." The lyrics of the bridge encourage us to "Throw off that shame // Dance on those chains," breaking free from the burdens that hold us down and steer us away from God. Step into His freedom because, "Jesus you're the only one worthy." 

May this song encourage you to "Put on the garments of praise." With God by your side, "Heaviness fades // Joy becomes strength." May you accept the strength that comes when you lift His name high.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 61:3; Acts 16:25-26; Psalm 150:1-2)

"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...
