"Restore | Rebuild" by Action Worship: God Is Still Working and Moving Today


Have you ever felt like your church community needs a serious reboot? Another way to say it: "flogging a dead horse!" That's exactly the feeling that triggered Action Worship to write "Restore | Rebuild". This energetic song is the latest addition to their album "Songs For The House, Vol. 2". It emphasizes that "The Church is a living example // Of what God can do."

Action Worship - Restore | Rebuild"Restore | Rebuild" was written to ignite hope and unify the Church in the truth that the story of God's power is still being written. The lyrics start strong: "He's doing a new thing // Restoring, rebuilding // From ashes to glory // There's more to His story." God is changing us, taking the brokenness, turning it into something beautiful, and giving it purpose. The two choruses are a call to the Church: "The time has come // He's just begun // The Church agrees // Arise in faith // Let hearts awake // That we might see." The call continues with the second chorus: "He is not finished // He is not done // Thank God the best is yet to come // … // God is still moving in this place."

The Church, "It's not just a building // The Church is a living example // Of what God can do." Action Worship encourages us to look around at our own Church communities, "If proof's what you need // Look around you, and see // All the testimonies in this room." Every person's story matters: "Every story's one that He can use // There's no limit to what God can do." 

Now, don't mistake this as a call to the Church, where you can lay back and wait! You are part of the Church! This is also calling you to do your part. Your story matters just as much as your drive to be part of the community.

This song is a plea for the community to unite and look with anticipation as God's glory is still unfolding! So, go ahead, press play, and give "Restore | Rebuild" a listen. May this song reignite your spirit and encourage you to connect to His bigger plan.

'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.

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...

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
