"Tell The World" by JIMMY ROCK: Spreading Light Through Faith


"Tell The World" by JIMMY ROCK, featuring K Anthony, is a high-energy song with a clear mission: to inspire you to shine the light of His gospel into the world. The song comes from a desire to spread God's love into the world… a 'world' that is on a downward slope toward more and more hate and intolerance. The 'world' isn't going to heal by itself. 

JIMMY ROCK - Tell The WorldThis song is a call to action and a celebration of faith in motion. "This song is about showing God's love and preaching the gospel everywhere," Jimmy explains. The song reminds us of a passage in Matthew 5:14–16, "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." 

The opening lines set the tone: "We no fit keep this light inside // Let's shine it far and wide." It's a reminder that faith isn't meant to stay hidden. From Lagos to Rome, Jimmy encourages us to "Go tell the world // No delay, oh // Jesus they save, oh." We see the urgency around us, and we also feel and celebrate the joy that His light brings into our lives. 

The second verse points out ways that we can shine His light: "Love isn't just talk // It shows in how we walk it // Help the weak, lift the low." Some have received a gift to share His word through speech, and others (maybe that's most of us) are gifted with the ability to shine His light through tangible acts of kindness. Use these gifts with confidence: "Anywhere I step // I carry this grace // No fear, no shame." 

May this infectious rhythm and bold call to action inspire you to stand up and shine His light into the world.

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
