"Come to Your Throne (Live)" by Arcadia Worship: Honest Prayers, Restored Hearts


"Come to Your Throne (Live)" by Arcadia Worship is both a confession and a surrender. It's an invitation for the Spirit to break through our hardness and make us whole again. The song was written from a place of struggling between guilt and grace. 

The song starts with a prayerful confession, "Honestly, I come to Your throne." God makes it clear that we may come as we are, without polished prayers, and with all of our faults and imperfections. God asks us to come to Him with an honest heart. 

Arcadia Worship - Come to Your Throne (Live)This musical prayer continues with, "Shatter this heart I have of stone." Yes, we may admit our brokenness to God. But instead of feeling despair, we may know that each confession brings us closer to healing. We may ask Him: "Create a pure heart in me, God." Haven't we all needed that same prayer at some point in our lives? 

What I love about this song is its invitation. It's an invitation to really see God, not as a distant God, but to see God as "relentless with [His] love," eager to fill the empty parts of our lives and restore that which is broken. Most of all, this song teaches us that wholeness (healing) is found when we let go and allow the Spirit to do what only He can do. So, go ahead and listen closely. May these lyrics meet you where you are and then lead you to His throne, where you are truly welcome.

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
