"Fire Fall" by Joseph Craft - Ignite Your Faith


Joseph Craft's "Fire Fall" is a cry for surrender, a song that invites the Spirit to "set my soul ablaze." The first lines of the song place you before God: "Here in Your presence I stand // Fully surrendered to You." And what is it that Joseph asks? "Spirit awaken inside of me // Invade my heart again." Is this scenario too distant to imagine? God is much closer than many people think! He is only a prayer away… On a bended knee, we invite Him to be part of our lives.

Joseph Craft - Fire Fall"Are you ready to let go of everything holding you back?" That's the big question that kept going through my mind as I listened to this song. This is Joseph Craft's debut release, a song about desiring the fullness of God by sacrificing ourselves completely to Jesus. Joseph wrote, performed, and produced this song himself.

You'll love the lyrics, such as "Spirit set my soul ablaze" and "Give me undying desire for all that You are," a humble prayer that follows the many examples we find in the Bible. There's no holding back in this plea. The imagery of fire used in the song represents both the cleansing and an unquenchable hunger for God's will. When Joseph sings, "Humbly I bow before You, I give You my all," you can sense the deepness of this surrender in a beautiful way. 

If you've ever wanted to press the reset button on your spiritual life or just simply crave to be closer to God, then give this song a listen. May you listen to it with an open heart, and possibly you may just find yourself praying along. Enjoy!

(Related scripture: Acts 2:3-4; Romans 12:1; Psalm 51:10)

"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...
