"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)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
