"A Child’s Prayer" by Remilekun: Childlike Faith for Everyday Hope


"A Child's Prayer" is the first song that Remilekun wrote. It's a song that whispered for years as she sang it to herself, until she realized that it was meant to be shared with the world. 

Remilekun - A Child's PrayerBackstories really matter! They frame the songs, and this song is one that really moves and touches the heart. It's easy to picture a child's hands folded at dawn: simple, honest, and filled with positive expectation. This song is a prayer without pretense. We hear an open and vulnerable heart asking God to listen, to notice every thought, and to meet the day with mercy. 

The timing of this release is magnificent, like clockwork in God's larger plan. A time when the world desperately needs reminders like this one, affirming that God is a faithful Father who hears us, who carries our burdens, who never fails. 

There's a morning rhythm here, starting the day with a prayer directed upward, eyes lifted toward His help. Instead of striving, trust. Instead of fear, surrender. The song keeps returning to that core truth, that we have a Heavenly Father who does not fail. But most of all, the song invites each one of us to respond! What would happen if you brought today's worries to God with childlike candor? What if you simply looked up to Him? 

So, lay down your burden at His feet. Speak plainly to God. Expect Him to answer. That is the recurring theme in this song! Prayer isn't a performance, a ritual performed throughout the day. Prayer is a relationship. So go ahead and press play, pray along, and let this small prayer strengthen dreams and your relationship with God.

(Related scripture: Psalm 5:1-3; Psalm 121:1-2; 1 Peter 5:7)

The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing.

The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...

"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....

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith. The opening line, "How wonderful is the cross of Christ,"  draws us into praise.  The song invites us to repentance and faith, but more importantly, the lyrics magnify the Trinity: the Father's eternal plan, the Son's sacrifice, and the Spirit's ongoing work in us. The song celebrates how every part of God is involved in redeeming us!  Have you ever wondered how a song can feel so unifying? That's the beauty of this song! It calls us, the Church, to stand together in bold praise. Instead of focusing on what divides us, it points us upwards, looking to our God who is glorious in love, power, and purpose. It encourages us to see the love of the Father, the blood of the Son, and how it is applied by the Holy Spirit.  There's no abstract theology in this song… the ...
