"All I Know" by Estella Kirk: Finding Rest in God’s Presence


"All I Know (To My Knees)" a beautiful song by Estella Kirk, and features Hunter Plake. Estella describes the song as "an invitation to trade exhaustion for intimacy with Jesus—offering peace in the middle of uncertainty." Inspired by Psalm 23, the song captures the beauty of surrender and His unconditional love, "thought that you would find me appalling." There is always a way forward, to better, not because we have everything figured out, but because we trust the One who's preparing the table for us. 

Estella Kirk - All I know (to my knees)Estella explains, "If I never fully understand God's love, at least I know this: He's preparing a place of rest. The kind of rest that feels like sitting with my closest friends or family." He offers us a safe haven and reminds us that He is there when we fall, "Never thought I'd be the one falling // Lost in your gaze." At times life can feel overwhelming, a deafening noise that distracts us from feeling His presence and hearing His whispers, "I never knew you were always calling me to grace." The fact that we get distracted doesn't mean that He has forgotten us. 

The lyrics remind us of His promise, "All I know // Is that you're setting a table // In the presence of my enemies." (Psalm 23:5) He asks us to trust, have faith, and surrender so that He can give us the strength to be greater than our struggles. So, stop trying to handle things on your own, and let Him take the lead, "I'm getting tired of my reckless driving // I'll just float and let you take control." 

With ambient production and rich harmonies, this song creates sacred moments to break away from the noise of life to worship. If you're feeling weary and just need a reminder of God's care, may this song bring you to your knees in worship.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:5; Matthew 11:28-30; Philippians 4:6-7)

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...

"Manna from Heaven" by Angela Charles: Trusting His Provision No Matter What

"Manna from Heaven" by Angela Charles is a beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness and encourages us to stand firm in every trial or challenge we may face. Angela highlights that "despite how difficult times may get, victory is the Lord's, and our enemy is defeated!"   The lyrics of the song are filled with examples of this confidence: "When water's deep and I can't stand // You are my mountain, God, You are my land." It's a reminder that even when we surrender, "When giving up, I lift my hands," God remains unshakable. The song recalls some of the miracles: "You sent Manna from Heaven // You split the Red Sea // You fed the 5000," and shows how this applies to us, "I know you won't forget me." As we have seen in the past and in the present, God provides and protects when we place our trust in Him and follow His lead.  God knows exactly where we are and what we are going through: "In darkest t...
