"Always More" by Jeffrey Dickson: Trusting in God’s Limitless Provision


Jeff Dickson's song "Always More" was triggered by challenges that he hadn't seen coming. Jeffrey turned to writing songs as a way to deal with what happened and share his faith journey after being laid off from a ministry role he had held for 13 years. Hard decisions like this one were taken as a result of financial struggles at his church. The result is a song filled with hope and encouragement to trust in God's boundless provision. Lines like "When the famine comes, I'll always have a portion" emphasize that even in loss there's still abundance waiting for us to discover. 

Jeffrey Dickson - Always MoreThe chorus points us to God: "All these hills are yours but my eyes look above them / When my cup is dry, ask, who fills the ocean?" When we're facing challenges of our own, it can be easy to forget to lift our gaze beyond our struggles and look at the eternal Source of all things. Jeffrey emphasizes the freedom we have… the freedom to let go, to love freely, and to give generously because "there is always more." This is such a powerful message for anyone who's feeling stuck or discouraged. 

May "Always More" encourage you to place your trust in God's limitless possibilities and remind you that we too are conduits of His endless grace.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 3:20; Matthew 6:33; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Forever" by Randy Wade: The God Who Has Always Been

The King who reigns forever also reigns over you. Before a single star burned in the sky, before the first mountain rose from the earth, God was. Worship Pastor and Contemporary Christian songwriter Rev. Randy Wade captures this in his song “Forever”, a song built on the unshakeable and eternal nature of God. “Before the mountains were lifted high, before the stars gave light to the sky, You O Lord have always been, the One with no beginning and no end.”   Randy wrote “Forever” to point our hearts toward Christ. The song pulls your gaze off the noise of daily life and fixes it on the One who exists outside of time. We have a God who doesn’t react to circumstances, but One who reigns above them. Revelation 1:8 declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This scripture isn’t just a declaration; it can also be read as a personal promise. It is the same God who holds eternity in His hands who also holds your uncerta...
