"At The Feet (Midnight)" by Action Worship: Surrender and Rest


(by Jasper Tan) After making a review of Action Worship's song "All Praise (Dawn)" early this year (which, by the way, moved me so much), Action Worship is here once more with a beautiful follow-up single called "At The Feet (Midnight)." Continuing their songwriting sessions at a beach house retreat, "At The Feet" is a powerful and once more immersive Christian contemporary worship song that captures a raw and intimate atmosphere of worship. Like their other previously released songs, the track is anchored in a "Beach House" setting, leaning on a warm, organic, and slightly lo-fi feel as compared to the more traditional stadium worship recordings of other Worship songs. This makes the song feel more like a shared spiritual experience rather than a polished studio recording. This has always been Action Worship's greatest strength with their songs. And this creative process has definitely defined the signature sound of the Action Worship team.

Action Worship - At The Feet (Midnight)With the arrangement being acoustic guitar-driven, this brings the song a light and more intimate feel. The song is powered by the lead vocals' soulful execution of the song, which is fully complemented by a beautiful harmony of multiple vocalists that creates a "communal" sound that makes the song very immersive. It is as if you are actually in the room with them, joining their worship session. With the song centering on the theme of surrender and exchange, the song opens with an imagery of trading "beauty for ashes" and "joy for mourning". This directly speaks of renewal and rebirth, which is a gift from God. The song encourages us not to carry our burdens alone but rather to allow ourselves to surrender and lay ourselves at God's feet. This acceptance of being vulnerable before God prepares us to fully embrace God's awesome love for us. And that his love and mercy offer a safe place for us to dwell in during our times of despair and uncertainty. Even offering one of the most poignant lines in the song that mentions "a grace that will never end despite all my history," highlighting God's unconditional love for us.

This song is an excellent choice for personal reflection or small group worship. It is both musically soothing and spiritually challenging. I highly recommend this song to listen to during this season of Lent.

Background:

Action Church has been in an introductory season of writing and releasing original music for the church—an initiative we call Songs for the House.

Beach House Sessions captures a powerful time of worship in the beach house where these songs were first written. With both acoustic & high-energy arrangements, spontaneous moments, and creative mashups that weave in classic hymns, this project reflects what happens when a room full of people lift their voices together in devotion and praise. It’s raw, vibrant, and filled with the sound of our house singing praises to the One who deserves it all.

Recorded in the Beach House where many of these songs were originally written, this version of “At The Feet” is created to accompany your time with God and we pray it blesses you and draws you closer to him.

Release date: March 27, 2026

"Faith Like Daniel" by Marlee Smith: Praising God When the World Says No

Who do you trust when everyone disagrees? What do you do when the world says that your God doesn’t matter? Marlee Smith’s energetic pop-rock song, “Faith Like Daniel,” comes with an all-teenage female band behind her, and her response to what the world says is anything but timid. When the world feels overturned, she’ll keep “praising my Father,” even when the world says she shouldn’t. Remember what we read in the Bible about Daniel? Daniel knew that pressure. A royal decree banned prayer to anyone but the king for a period of thirty days. Daniel heard the news, went home, opened his windows, and prayed as he always had. No speeches. No protest. Just steady faith, three times a day. Then came the lions, and what happened that night in the den became a testimony. Scripture says, “No kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Daniel 6:23). Daniel never trusted that his circumstances would be easy. He trusted the One who stood over them. Marlee’s message carries t...

"You Know That I Love You" by David Bollmann: Love That Answers Failure with Mercy

Jesus meets your failure with mercy, not rejection. Peter once promised that he’d never leave. And before a rooster crowed, he’d denied Jesus three times. Have you ever failed at the very thing you swore you’d never fail at? David Bollmann’s third single, “You Know That I Love You”, begins with a promise much like Peter’s: “Others may deny You, I won’t.” The song draws on John 21, where the risen Jesus meets Peter on a beach. He doesn’t scold Peter. He asks him one question, three times over, and Peter, hurt but honest, answers: “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Peter brings no excuses and no résumé. Only his (imperfect) love, offered with empty hands. The lyrics echo that same longing: “There’s gotta be something I can give You, some cross I can bear too.” We too may feel the desire to repay Jesus for what He has done. But can we? Never! He holds us and will “never cast a stone.” So what do we bring? The truth. Tell Jesus, as honestly as you can, where you faile...

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...
