"Heaven Come Down" by Tyler Ratcliffe: A Song Wrapped in God's Timing


"Heaven Come Down" by Tyler Ratcliffe is a song that came together in the most spontaneous, God-ordained way. Tyler and Jonathan had been trying to collaborate for months but so far hadn't been able to coordinate their schedules. While Tyler was with friends walking about the next collab, he spun a wheel of names, picked Jonathan, and just booked a flight to San Diego. What happened next felt like pure divine timing. 

Tyler Ratcliffe - Heaven Come DownThey recorded "Heaven Come Down" and then went to Light Chapel to create the supporting reels and content. While filming at Light Chapel, a couple showed up, thinking that there was a worship night scheduled, but none was planned. The couple asked if they could stay and watch, and that is when the idea came to create a Chapel Version of the song. Amazing things happen when God is in the driver's seat, and that theme also runs through the song! 

The song is a plea for Heaven to come down, take control, and provide what we need: "We've seen the ground // We've felt the drought // We asked for water // And You spilled it out." He provides, even in barren seasons. 

"Every chain is falling now // As every stronghold crashes down! // Darkness flees // the lost are found." It is God who liberates us, gives us true purpose, and shows us the way back to get back Home. Amazing things happen when we surrender to His timing and plan! 

This song is an invitation to experience God's glory. He is ready to bring renewal into your life and the world around you. Renewal starts with simple words: "We need You now to come and move! Fill this place, make us new! Spirit, move us, start right now!" Are you ready to discover what God has planned for you?

(Related scripture: Isaiah 64:1-2; Revelation 21:3; Acts 2:1-4)

"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....

'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...
