"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!

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:1-3; Psalm 23:4; Psalm 23:6)

"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...

'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...
