"He Leads Me (Live)" by Compel Worship: Singing the message of Psalm 23:1–6


Discover the connection between Compel Worship's song "He Leads Me" and Psalm 23:1–3, 4, 6. This live rendition of "He Leads Me" celebrates God as the ultimate Shepherd who lovingly guides and provides. The lyrics are directly linked to this Psalm, reminding us that God is with us through it all. 

Compel Worship - He Leads Me (Live)When you wake up in the morning, the goodness and mercy of God are not just waiting for you, they're pursuing you. When you open your eyes and you first come to consciousness in the morning, goodness and mercy from God are flowing into your life. 

Even when the world is turbulent, we may have His peace in us. He guards our hearts and minds with His peace. He leads us beside still waters, restores our soul, restores our strength, restores our joy, and restores everything we truly need. He fills us and leads us. He leads us over paths of righteousness if we are prepared to follow Him. And when we drift away, He is there to put us back on the right path, "For the sake of His name." And when life throws us a curveball and weighs us down, "Oh He leads me // Through the valley of the shadow." 

Psalm 23 is such a beautiful Psalm filled with hope and assurance that the Lord is our Shepherd, guiding us with love and grace every step of the way!

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

'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...

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...
