WLD CHSE’s "That Amazing Grace": Inspired by a Classic Hymn


WLD CHSE's "That Amazing Grace" carries a truth that many will remember from an older hymn with an almost identical title. He recalls singing "Amazing Grace" as a child in his grandmother's church, but it wasn't until years later that he understood the hymn's message. WLD CHSE shares: "There's this moment in my life where I realized the true meaning of "Amazing Grace" and how it should also make us want to be grateful and embrace life fully." That thought is the driver behind this song, and the message comes with fresh urgency. 

WLD CHSE - That Amazing GraceThe lyrics of the song describe the moment that His grace became personal. The song starts with "In the darkest of valleys with the shadow of death," drowning in worry, breathless and overwhelmed, praying for rescue. No matter how dark our valley is, His light will break through: "Is someone sending me a sign?" We already know the answer… WLD CHSE sings: "You've always been saying // You're in the business of saving." God's grace isn't just history. His amazing grace is here and now and within your reach.

My favorite part of the song is the chorus, "I've found amazing grace and how sweet it is to sing // That You would go into the death and grave // To save a wretch like me." Our Savior doesn't offer us passive salvation; He changes us from the inside out. "Now I'm walking in faith like there's a brand new part of me," where we may trade our shame for identity and our fear for eternal freedom. 

"That Amazing Grace" doesn't just remind us of rescue, it inspires us to take action. Embrace your identity and let Him lead your ways. Press play and sing along. Recognize how God's amazing grace is at work in your life.

"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...

"Praise You In The Morning" by Taylor Pride: Waking up to the sound of Worship

(by Jasper Tan) Taylor Pride's latest single, "Praise You In The Morning" is an uplifting song that is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness in different seasons and circumstances. The song is an acknowledgement that even if we are facing hardships and difficulties, we should still continue to praise God, for he is our provider and protector. And that he has promised to redeem us in his perfect time. The song follows an established style of Taylor's "heart-on-your-sleeve" type of worship song, drawing inspiration for this song's music from the likes of Cody Carnes and Phil Wickham's songs, the likes of which are simple with an easy-to-sing chorus layered by joyful sounds. The lyrics serve as a prayer for those in the "desert seasons," suggesting that praise is a choice made even in times of uncertainty with our faith. The song uses the transition from night to day as a metaphor for moving from weeping to hope. It is a modern worship...
