"A Place Prepared" by Madison Marlyn: When you dream of Heaven as your eternal destination


How often do we dream of Heaven? That eternal destination where everything is perfect and filled with tranquil peace? Madison Marlyn's latest single, "A Place Prepared," evokes that perfect feeling of heavenly bliss. Madison is able to encapsulate it all through the words that she sings in this song. The song is beautifully crafted, where the melody empowers the lyrics of the song, magnificently bonded together to tug at our heartstrings and stir our souls. There are no pretensions and grandstanding. Madison just straightforwardly delivers her image of the home that she long dreamed of resting in. The music beautifully brings to life the imagery she describes of what Heaven would look like. And this isn't something that she ordinarily dreams of, but rather this is an image that is deeply inspired by her Faith and in believing what God has promised us… Eternal Life.

Madison Marlyn - A Place PreparedMadison was inspired by the fleeting colors of dusk, as she let the song capture a sense of longing and waiting during our pilgrimage in life. Holding firm with the truth of Christ's promise to return after preparing a place for us, Madison hopes that this song of hers would offer encouragement and edification. As she ends the song with these lines, "When I'm deep in the valley, I hold onto what's true, He who's moving me homeward, prepares a place for me and He's coming soon," it wonderfully shows Madison's firm faith in God's promise. 

It would be such a beautiful thing if we all shared the same solid faith as Madison. And if we are yet to be in the same state, may the song inspire us to start seeking God more and improve our relationship with him. Because it is only in him we shall find a blissful Eternal Life.

"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....

"Thank You Lord" by Sandra Lamb: When Worship Becomes Your Daily Habit

"Thank You Lord" by Sandra Lamb is a beautiful reminder that expressing your gratitude isn't just for those perfect days. The song starts by declaring God's greatness and invites you to constantly praise His greatness. In other words, worship isn't something that you do when you're in the right mood. Praising God is continuous, almost like a habit / a mindset. It's looking at the world, your life, and seeing God's greatness in everything.  The lyrics don't ignore the grey seasons in life… It walks us straight through them to His greatness. Instead of sinking into despair, we're encouraged to lift our hands, praise our Lord, and make a decision to praise God's name no matter what comes our way. Why? Because God's kindness shows up in our lives every single day. He opens doors and creates paths that previously seemed impossible… "You always show me kindness every day // You always made a way // Where there seems no way." Let...
