"Brand New Day (20th Anniversary Edition)" by Thoughts And Notions is a revamped song for anyone who is feeling weighed down, looking for renewed hope, or just needs a fresh start. The band reunited after years, made changes to their signature sound, and are releasing new versions of their songs. The result is a song that feels like an old friend who is reaching out in tough times and reminding us that a new morning is on the horizon no matter how dark the night was. The original version of this song was released in 2006, an uncertain time in the Philippines, and it really speaks to the heart (both then and now) with lines like "I am dreaming of a better tomorrow // Where there will be no more sorrow."  Just look around! This desire is just as relevant today as it was in 2006. It is a desire that can affect our actions through prayer and how we treat others. The lyrics also share a promise and encouragement that healing is on the horizon.  The lyrics encourage us to...

Have you ever questioned God's goodness, especially when everything around you seems to be falling apart? It's been over a year since Olly's family faced a devastating house fire. Olly shares: "I remember going to church that Sunday and we were singing Goodness of God - a song I've sung hundreds of times and led many times. I suddenly found myself in that moment unable to sing and in the midst of what had happened that week I asked myself "is God still good?""   The lyrics of this song takes us along that journey from situational faith to absolute trust. We're quick to proclaim God's goodness when blessings flow, but what about when those things don't happen? As Olly puts it, "We're not quite as quick to say "the house fell through - God is good" or "I didn't get the job - God is good.""   Olly reminds us that God's goodness isn't contingent on our circumstances. Instead of letting tragedy def...

J.R. McEntyre's "I Got Up Again" is more than a song - it's a living example of hope that is found during personal struggle. J.R.'s story is one where he drifted away from the faith during his younger years. He shares: "That road led to a broken marriage, separation from my children, and trying to cope with the pain by drinking a fifth of Crown a day. I felt like a failure. But even in that dark place, God's mercy reached me, and He lifted me up." The core message of the song is a reflection of Micah 7:8: "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise." Failure just isn't an option when God's mercy comes into play. "Staring at the bottom // The devil thought he sealed the deal." J.R. wouldn't accept defeat. With "fire in my bones," he declared his resilience. The chorus rejoices: "Yes, I got up again // With Jesus by my side," emphasizing that divine strength will always trium...

Ever feel like darkness is closing in? "Hell Can't Have Me" by JIMMY ROCK and Gregatron cuts through that fog with a powerful, uplifting declaration of victory in Christ. This song is stamping a blood-bought eviction notice on the devil's door! We belong to Jesus, and that means that nothing - not our lives, health, family, career, peace, or thoughts - belongs to hell.  The lyrics repeat, "Hell can't have me," turning any fear we may have into foot-stomping faith.  The lyrics also explain that Jesus' blood has washed us clean, and broke every chain that is holding us down. The price He paid with His blood means that every day in our lives can be new laundry day for our soul. We belong to the King, and that's why we may sing with such confidence. The devil? He's exposed as the liar who "don't own" us. Sin has lost its grip on us because Jesus holds us. He "bought" and "freed" us through His sacrifice.  Hi...
