"Well" by Rorie: When Words Fail, Love Remains


Have you ever tried to put the indescribable into words? That’s exactly what Rorie sets out to do in “Well,” one of the songs on her latest album "Hydraulics". Rorie shares that "Well" is a song "that I wrote shortly after reading a book that studied the Hebrew word "hesed" (the "inexpressible" lovingkindness, steadfast love or covenant faithfulness of God and also how humans should treat one another in light of God's love)."

Rorie - WellThe lyrics are a meditation on the endless love of Christ. The first verse raises an interesting question about time... "A well of living water that springs up to eternal life // The beginning and end, the middle of it all // Like an everlasting light." So how do you begin to measure a love that forgives, transforms, and lasts beyond time? The lyrics echo Ephesians 3:17-19, “how wide and long and high and deep," reaffirming that Christ’s love is indescribable.

Imagine what your response would be when you're standing before something so vast and so eternal. “One word can’t describe it all,” Rorie sings. But what we can do is accept it, lean into it, and let it change us, including the legacy we may leave behind. After all, isn’t that what "hesed" does? It not only changes us as individuals, it also changes generations.

May this song remind you that Christ is your constant and a sacred symphony in a chaotic world. Listen. Breathe. Let it open the door of your heart to a love that is indescribable.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19; Psalm 78:4; John 4:14)

"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...
