"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)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"What's That I Hear? (Murrell Ewing Cover)" by The Fosters: When Gospel Comes Home

What if one song could make you feel the pull of heaven so strongly that your heart wishes: "Please don't wake me // For soon the eastern sky will part and I'll see His face." That's exactly what The Fosters deliver with their reimagining of Murrell & Joan Ewing's 1978 classic, "What's That I Hear?" Originally a staple of Rev. Murrell Ewing's ministry and later recorded by various southern gospel legends, this song has been brought home, straight back to its Pentecostal roots. Andrew, Devi, and their three children breathe new life into it, layering family harmony over a real brass section that powers a Sunday morning revival. The longing that is at the heart of this song is unmistakable: "This old world has lost its charm; it's no place for me." It touches a feeling that many believers know quite well, a sense of restlessness and longing for something larger than what this earthly life has to offer. The song reminds us th...

"Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective: When His People Unite, Mountains Move

(by Jasper Tan) "Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective (featuring Sherwin Gardner, Marc Isaacs, and Alicia Taylor) is a live recording of a powerful, high-energy worship anthem that embodies what the collective calls "Caribbean Worship." The group invites us into a celebration of faith, utilizing the culture from the Caribbean islands and how they express it as a living proof of God's goodness. The song talks about our faith and the new beginnings that are promised to us after we overcome our struggles and hardships. Their repeated proclamation of "Lord, I'm living proof" aims to drive down the message that each one of us is already a living proof of God's faithfulness love, and mercy. We all have our own unique faith experiences and stories that could somehow inspire the people around us. So for those of us who have been know for our strong faith, being able to overcome our struggles and testify about it, brings a more concrete testimony an...
