"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.

"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....

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

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.'

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.
