"You Are The Vine" by Alex Young And Friends: Kickstarter to a Chorus of Dependence and Worship


"You Are the Vine" is a mid-tempo song by Alex Young and Friends. The lyrics are inspired by John 15, where we are reminded that we're part of something that is bigger than ourselves. The song was recorded with Jason Hoard (known from Third Day, Crowder, and Shane and Shane) after a successful Kickstarter campaign. 

Alex Young And Friends - You Are The VineIt emphasizes our dependency on Christ—the Vine—and urges us to "stay here in Your love" and surrender to His rhythm. I love how the song keeps circling back to the same whisper: "Apart from You, we can do nothing." Not a guilt trip, just a fact, a surrender, a recognition that spiritual life flows from acting in harmony with Him. One of the lines turns worship into action: "Let Your people join Your chorus, songs of love and sacrifice." In other words: sing, sure, but also continuously give and forgive. Embrace His presence, not just for comfort but to change your heart and mind(set). 

You'll love the interweaving vocal melodies that start at 3m10s. It's a song that turns His Word into a heartbeat: Christ isn't a crutch but our lifeline, our Source. Worship Him through surrender and sacrifice. If you're feeling spiritually dry or simply need a reminder of where true vitality grows, then give this song a listen. This song isn't just heard—it's felt, especially when your day feels impossible.

(Related scripture: John 15:4-5; John 15:9-10; Psalm 100:2)

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...

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...
