"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)

"I Love to Praise Your Name" by Chrystal: Worship That Survives the Storm

A declaration of consistent devotion and faithfulness to God (by Jasper Tan) Chrystal Williams-Alberty’s “I Love to Praise Your Name” is a beautiful and heartfelt contemporary praise and worship song. The song focuses on our devotion and adoration to our God. The lyrics are simple but deep in expression.

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...

"No One Like You Jesus" by Morgan Starner: Why Only Jesus Can Carry Your Burdens

Who really deserves your loudest praise? “No One Like You Jesus” by Morgan Starner didn’t start in a studio. It started as a voice memo, hummed late at night, half-formed and unfinished. Morgan took that fragile melody into the studio and built it up, layer by layer, until it held over 100 stacked vocals. The result sounds like a celebration. Bright, rhythmic, and impossible to sit still while listening. That’s the point of this song… Gospel-pop with a modern pulse, made to move bodies and hearts at the same time.  Listen to the bridge, and you’ll hear a question underneath the beat: “Who else gonna take my burdens? Who else gonna get me through?” Morgan answers the question without hesitation. “No one else but You.”   Scripture asks the same question, thousands of years earlier. Here is how Moses responded after crossing the Red Sea: “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?” (Exodus 15:11, ESV...
