"I Noah Guy" by MrR: Trusting God Through Chaos


"I Noah Guy" by MrR combines honesty with hope and brings an interesting vibe to Christian contemporary music with his signature "Righteous Funk" style. The song is about those moments of desperation that most of us are familiar with, where it feels like we're fighting against the tide. Life often may feel like chaos, with dreams that are breaking, the constant pressure, and emotions that run high. We see chaos all around us, and our lives are not exempt from chaos. MrR sings, "God I'm drowning, chaos roars," and despite being overwhelmed, we still have a choice, a way forward. MrR keeps pointing us back to God and reminding us that He is always there for us, "Yea I know a guy…". Even in the chaos, there's Someone who never leaves us.

MrR - I Noah Guy"Your love is my anchor, it changed my rebel heart," God is the anchor that offers stability in our life, and His love not only protects us, but it also changes our mindset and how we react. MrR also asks God for an "Arc", echoing part of Noah's story (which was also suggested in the song title), implying that we will follow His directions to the letter (just like Noah did) and we can trust that He'll guide and deliver us. 

So, the big question is if you are ready to "… fight against the tide, and rise again without my pride"? Will you reach out to God and let Him throw you His lifeline? No matter what happens in life, keep your eyes on God, because He is the 'Guy' that is always by your side.

(Related scripture: Psalm 69:1-2; Hebrews 6:19; Genesis 6:13-14)

"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...
