"For It All" by Howard Gripp: Change Through Faith


"For It All" by Howard Gripp is a song of gratitude for the change and transformation that God brings into our hearts and lives through our faith. Change that starts by acknowledging that God is always there for us: "Every time my heart beats, I have to thank God." The lyrics reflect on how His love heals, renews, and covers our scars. God walks beside us through every moment of joy and pain that we face in life.

Howard Gripp - For It AllIt is through His salvation, love, and forgiveness that our brokenness is healed and turned into something new. The lyrics emphasize that no trouble or strife can pluck us from God's hand, because He walks, talks, and stays with us throughout our journey.

Howard sings about the moment when we start to realize that we are truly part of His bigger plan: "For being everything You said that You would be… And there's something so much bigger here than me." He has a purpose for us in that bigger plan, and that purpose unfolds when we place our trust in Him and let Him guide us. He blesses us with blessings that we are unable to deserve, blessings that we may receive with thankfulness. Thankfulness is more than just recognizing what He has done, it should go hand-in-hand with expressing our gratitude for it all (even though He already knows our heart). 

When was the last time that you took a moment to thank God for His life-changing work in your life? 

Go ahead and listen to "For It All." May it inspire you to walk with God, make Him part of your journey, and embrace the change and renewal that He makes to your life. And most of all, give Him thanks for it all.

(Related scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:18; John 10:28)

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

"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....
