"Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" by Logan and Katie: When the Wanderer Finds Home


Logan and Katie - Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Have you ever felt your heart drifting away from what truly matters, even when you desperately try to stay faithful? “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” is a song that Logan and Katie grew up singing (and still are). It's a song that has spoken to generations and will continue to speak to future generations about the grace of God.

Their rendition of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" breathes fresh life into Robert Robinson’s timeless masterpiece—a hymn born from a rebellious heckler who, instead of mocking George Whitefield’s sermon in 1752, became a Christian three years later. Another three years later, when preparing a sermon for his church in Norfolk, England, he penned the words that have become one of the church’s most-loved hymns: “Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace.”

This song speaks to the wanderer that we all have inside of us. When you hear Logan and Katie sing "prone to wander, Lord, I feel it," you're hearing a confession that has been repeated so many people over the years, a confession that is heard when one recognizes that redemption doesn't come through what we do, but through the "fount of every blessing" (= God, because He is origin of all blessings and the source of salvation).

Robinson's words are still just as relevant today as they were 250 years ago, because they mirror our daily struggle to remain fixed on God's love. So, listen closely as Logan and Katie invite you to surrender your wandering spirit to Him. May their harmonies seal your heart for the courts above.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:8; 1 Samuel 7:12; John 10:28)

Background:

Our version of a classic.

When we decided to make this project, we knew this was the first hymn we wanted to record. “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” is a song we grew up singing (and still are) that has spoke to generations and will continue to speak to the future generations to come about the grace of God.

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"One That Matters" by Marija Clara: Because Only One Voice Matters

The song "One That Matters" by Marija Clare was born in a sunlit home studio in Tegucigalpa. The song sounds like a celebration, but the story behind the song adds a deeper meaning to the lyrics. Marija Clara wrote this song after a miscarriage, and that contrast shapes the song’s message! Joy isn't denial of the facts. Joy is what comes after the facts... joy is healing in the presence of Jesus. In other words, the bright horns and Latin rhythms are not just for dancing, they’re a reminder that God can turn even the most raw grief into a place of renewal. In these lyrics, Marija names the pressure that you probably also feel around you: everyone watching, expecting you to achieve, you can't permit yourself to slow down. Instead of chasing every demand, she points us to the freedom of knowing that when we have Christ, everything else in our lives becomes secondary. Each line in the song circles back to this simple confession: He is the only One that matters, He resha...

"All Praise (Great Are You Lord)" by Aaron Goodhew: Remembering His Sacrifice, Embracing His Reign

Aaron Goodhew's song, "All Praise (Great Are You Lord)," is a reminder of the ultimate hope that fuels our faith. Aaron shares that the inspiration for this song came to him while studying Revelation, specifically chapter 7. He was moved to tears by the promise of believers surrounding God's throne for eternity, experiencing pure joy, and free from all suffering. Just look around you at all of the suffering around the world, as well as the suffering close to home. Realize that we're just seeing a glimpse of all the suffering that is happening.  There is hope! Aaron explains, "The hope of that future in Christ is the fuel that drives believers every day to lay down their lives in pursuit of Jesus." This song is written with the desire that it will stir people to lift their eyes from their current circumstances and look up to Him who is seated in all authority.  The song reminds us of Jesus walking "the road that we deserved," carrying "th...
