"Nothing Like The Father's Love" by Alex Young And Friends: Unmatched Grace


Alex Young And Friends - Nothing Like The Father's Love

In his new single, "Nothing Like The Father's Love," Alex Young And Friends sing about the constant factor in our lives, God's love! The song was written together with Sam Heilig and Steve Davis, and is essentially a simple reminder that God's love for us doesn't fluctuate with our feelings or behavior (thankfully!). 

The song starts with a small admission: "Father, I've had better days // If I wrote down all my failures there'd be ink on every page." These words, words that could also have easily been my own, introduce the main theme of the song. "But Your endless mercy and boundless grace // cover me time and time again," and as if that isn't enough… "Nothing compares to this love that I've found in You // It's simple and so true // There's nothing like the Father's love for me." It doesn't matter how tough our days are or how our emotions fluctuate! God's mercy and grace are always there to cover us… if you let Him! 

This is such a comforting message, and it is one that is easily pushed to the background as we go through our daily routines and manage our way through the chaos of life. It's songs like this one that help us to remember, "Don't let me forget it // There's nothing like the Father's love for me," and "There's nothing as sweet, nothing as sound, nothing as sure // There's nothing as real, nothing as wild, nothing as powerful." 

Do you sometimes feel as if your failures define you? With God in your court, they don't have to! Go ahead and take a moment to listen to "Nothing Like The Father's Love." May this song remind you to let God's love into your life and give you strength to face each day with power and confidence.

(Related scripture: 1 John 4:16; Ephesians 2:4–5; Psalm 103:11–12)

"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....

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
