"Of All The World" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: A Wake-Up Call to Notice Him


"Of All The World" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade's is a thought-provoking song about recognizing God. Possibly we are so busy with our lives or distracted by all of the noise that we need to ask ourselves if we would even have noticed if God hadn't been there. It's a piercing question: "Would you know the difference, if I wasn't in your life?" This isn't a song that is wagging a finger to express disapproval, but it does get you thinking. 

Robert Peterson and The Crusade - Of All The WorldThe lyrics continue the thought-provoking tension with lines like "Would you be too busy and not see me standing there." It is so easy to overlook His presence when distractions are screaming for our attention! "Has the world become so loud and clamoring with noise," and maybe the slightest hesitation in our answer may be a good reason to double-check how we are staying connected with Him. The following lines in chorus might help with that check… "Would you know … could you tell… if I never had arrived." This song urges us to honestly ask ourselves whether we're truly living out our faith or just going through the motions. 

This isn't just a song but a mirror held up to our spiritual walk. Are we "talking the talk" or "walking the walk"? I know that the lyrics got me thinking as I was listening, and I welcome the introspection and reconnection. So, if you enjoy music that both challenges and inspires, then give this song a listen.

(Related scripture: Psalm 139:7-8; Matthew 7:21; Luke 10:38-42)

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
