"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.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 43:19; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Matthew 16:18)

"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 ...

"Forever" by Randy Wade: The God Who Has Always Been

The King who reigns forever also reigns over you. Before a single star burned in the sky, before the first mountain rose from the earth, God was. Worship Pastor and Contemporary Christian songwriter Rev. Randy Wade captures this in his song “Forever”, a song built on the unshakeable and eternal nature of God. “Before the mountains were lifted high, before the stars gave light to the sky, You O Lord have always been, the One with no beginning and no end.”   Randy wrote “Forever” to point our hearts toward Christ. The song pulls your gaze off the noise of daily life and fixes it on the One who exists outside of time. We have a God who doesn’t react to circumstances, but One who reigns above them. Revelation 1:8 declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This scripture isn’t just a declaration; it can also be read as a personal promise. It is the same God who holds eternity in His hands who also holds your uncerta...

"Born Again" by PeterLs: One Decision, One Lifetime of Walking With Jesus

Some choices mark the beginning of an entirely different life.   In a small Polish town called Podkowa Leśna, a choice was made that PeterLs has never stopped celebrating. Twenty-two years ago, he stepped into the waters of baptism and came out a different person. “Born Again” is his testimony — honest, grateful, and filled with the kind of faith that continues to grow. “Twenty-two years ago, I chose the life, to follow Jesus, day and night.” This isn’t a song that celebrates that specific moment twenty-two years ago; it’s a celebration of every moment since then!  The song has an interesting detail that is worth pointing out. The total duration of the song is 3:16, which in turn is a deliberate nod to John 3:16. This is the scripture where Jesus told a Pharisee named Nicodemus, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Eternal life isn’t something you can earn. It’s something you recei...
