"Breath of the Father" by Austin Ludwig: Inhaling Grace, Exhaling Praise


This release of "Breath of the Father" by Austin Ludwig is an exciting revamped rendition of an earlier release. I was briefly confused at first when I saw this release come by, vaguely remembering that Austin had released a song with the same title a few years back. This rendition with Sarah Kroger brings so much new energy and a new sound/vibe! (I listened to both versions just to be sure!) 

Austin Ludwig - Breath of the FatherThe message of the song is still the same: a deep longing for the Holy Spirit's presence. The lyrics draw straight from Pentecost's wild outpouring, echoing that intimate moment when Jesus breathed His Spirit onto the disciples — not some distant gale, but a close, personal whisper calling them to be vessels of His spirit. 

This song reminds us that the same power that raised Christ also lives in us, "We breathe in your presence // Breathe out your praise." It's not just about feeling something big; it's about being changed by something small and deeply personal. We are encouraged to surrender everything: "Whatever you want we're ready for you // This is our invitation // Come have your way." 

"So I receive the breath of the Father // And I will give it all back to you," a beautiful loop of receiving His grace and overflowing with worship, just like the early believers awakening in His glory. God's Spirit is living in us and anything we have of value to offer, the Lord first poured into us. "Give it all back, give it all back, give it all back to you," giving back to Him what He is owed, and when we are filled, we can't help but overflow in praise back to Him.

(Related scripture: John 20:21-22; Acts 2:2-4; Romans 8:11)

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...

"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...

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...
