"Brand New Day (20th Anniversary Edition)" by Thoughts And Notions: How Faith Rewrites Your Story


"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. 

Thoughts And Notions - Brand New Day (20th Anniversary Edition)The lyrics encourage us to hand over our brokenness to God, search for meaning in God, and growing our faith fill the gaps: "For this heart has a gaping hole // And catch me when I fall // In your arms is where I lay." We may trust that God's love will lifts us up and pulls us through, day after (difficult) day. This is the gentle nudge that comes back in each verse of the song, … trust, lay your burdens down, and believe that tomorrow holds something beautiful. 

This song is a beautiful and heartfelt reminder that faith always creates new possibilities and following Jesus really does changes your life. So, go ahead and turn up the volume, and let Thoughts And Notions lead you into your own brand new day.

(Related scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Jeremiah 29:11)

"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....
