"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.

Skillet - Valley of Death (CCM)

Skillet has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Valley of Death. The global health crisis of the last two years has led to numerous questions regarding why bad things happen to good people. Skillet's John Cooper explains why he believes God allowed the pandemic to happen. Skillet has released their new album Dominion through Atlantic Records last Friday (Jan. 14). A discussion with 'Loudwire Nights' host Toni Gonzalez brought up the track "Valley of Death," which contains the lyrics: "Someone said this is all part of the plan / But I don't understand." Gonzalez then asked him why he thinks God would allow a pandemic. This is what Cooper said: "Well, the first answer is that we're not good people. We're all fallen and we are all in desperate need of salvation through Jesus. So, we're not actually good people, we all do bad stuff. We all cheat, we've all lied, we're all greedy and as much as the most lov...

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith. The opening line, "How wonderful is the cross of Christ,"  draws us into praise.  The song invites us to repentance and faith, but more importantly, the lyrics magnify the Trinity: the Father's eternal plan, the Son's sacrifice, and the Spirit's ongoing work in us. The song celebrates how every part of God is involved in redeeming us!  Have you ever wondered how a song can feel so unifying? That's the beauty of this song! It calls us, the Church, to stand together in bold praise. Instead of focusing on what divides us, it points us upwards, looking to our God who is glorious in love, power, and purpose. It encourages us to see the love of the Father, the blood of the Son, and how it is applied by the Holy Spirit.  There's no abstract theology in this song… the ...

"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....
