"Jesus Poured His Love Down on Me" by Armstead Ford: A First-Time Songwriter’s Tribute to Faith and Hope


"Jesus Poured His Love Down on Me" by Armstead Ford is a heartfelt song that came to him in a dream. Ford's songs carry a powerful message of spiritual awakening and divine love. "I never had a thought in my mind about creating music, but this is a calling from God," says Ford. He adds, "This song came to me during a dream where I was sitting in my church, listening to the choir sing. When I woke up, I quickly recorded the initial lyrics I remembered, and the rest unfolded from there."

Armstead Ford - Jesus poured His love down on meSpeaking about this song, Ford shares, "This song is about that powerful moment when Jesus poured His love down on me. It's a feeling I want others to experience too." You can hear this repeated, like a prayer, throughout the song: "Jesus poured His love down on me," inviting you to open your heart to God's endless care and feel the same awe and gratitude.

The lyrics describe the spiritual awakening from the moment that Jesus' love "rained down" to the promise that we will walk with Him "on streets of gold" in Paradise. Lines like: "Love the Lord, He heard my cry" and "I'll haste unto His throne" remind us that God hears us and is there for us with open arms. God isn't a distant God; He is always within our reach!

Ford hopes that this song, and other songs on his album "Anthems of Hope", will encourage and move us to live for Jesus. He also shares, "I'm proud that I did what God told me to do. This is my first time creating music, and it sounds great. I'm excited to share it with the world."

May this song remind you of God's love and give you more reasons to praise. May Ford's story inspire you to embrace your own spiritual journey. Anthems of Hope is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and more channels. Enjoy!

"Hiding Place (Live)" by DBU Chapel Worship: Forgiven, Covered, and Free

How often do you hear worship songs being sung live in the comforts of your day-to-day living? For sure, there are a dime a dozen. Some you commonly share with the person next to you, featuring songs by popular Christian Artists. But there's a certain form of unique sincerity when one discovers a worship song that is yet to break through to a larger audience. This is how the song "Hiding Place" by DBU Chapel Worship featuring Olivia-Grace McKern felt like when I first listened to the song. It felt like a new testimony being told, of one's dedication to find God and remain in his presence.  Taking root from Psalm 32, the song is a collaboration of Olivia with a host of songwriters from the DBU Chapel Worship. Enriching her experience as a songwriter and moving her through the songwriting process. In perhaps a reflection of what the song eventually became, it wasn't so that Olivia conveniently hid behind the DBU Chapel Worship songwriters/musicians. This song is a c...

'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...
