"Higher" by Jensen & Company: A Call to Lift Others Through Love


What does it really mean to lift someone up? "Higher (feat. Heidi Jensen North)" by Jensen & Company gives a clear answer to that question. The inspiration for this song comes from a young man (shown in the video) who has a beautiful ministry of prayer. He spends his free time seeking out people who are in need. He gives them a flower, a small gift, prayers, a smile, or even just an ear to listen. He looks beyond his disabilities and sees opportunities to share the love of God. 

Jensen & Company - Higher (feat. Heidi Jensen North)The lyrics capture this so beautifully! When hope feels like "some kind of shadow" and those challenges are lurking ahead, the message reminds us, "Don't let go, hold on in prayer." God is there to support us through every high and low… to the deepest moments of despair. 

What really grabs me is the call to action. "If you see a friend standing in the road, don't walk by, take his hand so he's not alone." We are vessels of God's love when we extend His care to others. A smile, walking up to someone who is lost, offering help, showing some compasion when life took an unexpected twist. Open your heart, and God will let you know what you can do. 

Heidi sings: "He'll take us higher, higher, higher, because He's faithful and always there." It's also a reminder that looking upward not only changes our perspective, but it also expands our ability to serve. There's always somebody who has a greater need than yourself…. If we could all only remember that! 

May this song help you to recognize your unique potential to share God's ever-present love.

(Related scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6; Psalm 121:1-2; Galatians 6:2)

"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....

"Misunderstood" by Cory Asbury: Letting the Light In Through Vulnerability

Cory Asbury's 'Misunderstood' is a poignant ballad that reaches out to those grappling with anxiety, depression, and the weight of the future. With heartfelt lyrics and a soothing melody, this song offers solace and understanding to anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. The verses weave a narrative of resilience, reminding us that our struggles do not define us. The chorus confronts the notion of brokenness, acknowledging the universal experience of hiding pain and imperfections. Asbury's empathetic voice assures that being broken is a shared reality, not a personal failure. The final chorus, like a reassuring anthem, reinforces the understanding that no one is alone in their struggles. It acknowledges the societal tendency to bury vulnerability but emphasizes the importance of acknowledging pain and seeking support.
