"Midnight to Victory" by Kevin Downswell: A Journey from Darkness to Triumph


"Midnight to Victory (feat. Gilead) [Live]" by Kevin Downswell is a declaration of breakthrough, from the darkest night to God's victorious light. The genre is what Kevin calls a "cinematic gospel anthem with rich Caribbean percussion and modern worship vocals." This rendition of the song was recorded live at Bob Marley Tuff Gong Studio in Kingston, Jamaica, in front of a live audience. 

Kevin Downswell - Midnight to Victory (feat. Gilead) [Live]The song starts with: "In the midnight hour, when the shadows fall // I hear You whisper, …" And what is God whispering? "I've conquered all." This is a victory song that shows us how God's victory becomes our victory… if we follow His lead! It's about walking the talk under His guidance. 

He is with us, even in the toughest moments of life when the road feels too steep or the waves are crashing down on us, "You're my Shepherd, Lord, You never sleep." A Shepherd watching over us, driving us along His plan, "When the winds are raging, and my faith feels small / You remind me oh God, that You're in control." 

His plan leads to a breakthrough: "Your hand it leads me from midnight to victory / My God You carry me." He is the source of freedom and joy, "You broke my chains, and You set me free," freedom and joy that is celebrated! Kevin encourages us, from all corners of the earth, to celebrate by lifting our flags in praise of the One who did it all for us. 

This energetic and faith-boosting song fills you with hope and strength. May its message help you to accept His guidance and lead you from midnight to victory.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:4; Isaiah 43:2; Romans 8:37)

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Navigating Life with Faith and Friends

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson explores one of the Greek words for love. This song focuses on "phileo" (friendship) and its vital role in life's storms. "Phileo" translates to love that is characterized by affection, fondness, and friendship. It's a warm, tender, and affectionate bond, often seen between friends, siblings, or within a community. It's more about the natural affection we have for those who are close to us.  Chelsea wrote this song when she returned home after living in Cambodia for two years. Faith brought her to Cambodia, sustained her there, and guided her back, but the journey left her feeling like "a little boat" lost in raging seas. At times we may feel like, "I'm drowning, drowning treading water in the wind // I'm drowning, drowning I could use a friend." It's a cry for connection, a reminder that we all need someone to anchor us when fear starts to take over. The fears and lies tha...
