"You Alone (Worthy)" by Annie Whitson: Searching Heaven and Earth and Finding Only Jesus


(by Jasper Tan) When you're overwhelmed with God's goodness and sovereignty over us, it is songs like "You Alone (Worthy)" by Annie Whitson that manage to fully capture our feelings of gratitude and praise. This song beautifully expresses our devotion and adoration of God's sovereignty over us. Truly, there is no one like Jesus when it comes to someone who deserves our devotion and worship. We can search the vastness of heaven and the depths of the earth, but there is only one God who is truly worthy.

Annie Whitson - You Alone (Worthy)The repetitive and anthemic nature of the chorus "You alone are worthy to be praised" serves as the hook to encourage us to be in a meditative and prayerful atmosphere. This sets the tone for us to examine our faith's current status and build from it in moments when we feel that we feel we are lacking. Also, by incorporating words directly from the Lord's Prayer: "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," it reminds us that only God is sovereign, and this is not drawn just from any personal experience but rooted in the biblical truth of God's dominion over us.

In our lifetime, it is essential to regularly give praise and devotion to God. This act strengthens our connection and affinity with him. Doing this regularly will help remind us that there's a God who loves us. And that we reciprocate that love to Him by giving our full obedience as his sons and daughters. That is the only truth that we all should strive to live with. Listen to "You Alone (Worthy)" and let this truth land: "You alone my lips will always praise."

(Related scripture: Psalm 73:25; Psalm 18:3; Matthew 6:10)

"Whoop The Devil" by Destin Dumais: Standing in Christ's Authority

Who gave you the authority to stand firm? Destin Dumais opens his debut single with an amazing sound that excites, gets you up on your feet, and gets you ready to conquer. “Whoop The Devil” is a hard-hitting country-rock song with one clear message: As believers, we hold real authority in Christ! The song starts with a cowboy scene. “Gonna saddle up and ride, ain’t no place you can hide.” Then comes the line that makes an important difference: “Been deputized, authorized.” Nobody appoints himself to this work. The badge was handed over at Calvary. Jesus said it plainly in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Who gives the authority? Jesus does! This kind of confidence never relies on your strength, your mood, or your track record. This confidence rests on His name, and His name only! Does that now mean that our fears will disappear for good? Not always. Destin admits that...

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"Send Me an Angel" by Josh Orange: Grace for the Struggle at 5 AM

What if help is one honest word away? Josh Orange, a folk-rock group from Sydney, Australia, wrote “Send Me an Angel” in about thirty minutes. Structure, lyric, the whole thing arrived at once and became the spark for the band’s sixth studio album. Some prayers work that way. They don’t wait for polish. The song opens at 5 am. A man puts his feet on the floor and asks Jesus, “for the strength to begin.” He doesn’t ask for much. He works for his living, and he isn’t proud of his sins. Then comes the plea: “Come help me Jesus. Send me an angel.” Sound familiar? You’ve tried hard, opened the door, and done it again. Gordon Burke, the lead singer of Josh Orange, sings about running all the way to Nova Scotia, and the further he went, the darker he got. Distance never fixed it. Ask yourself, where have you been running? Listen closely and notice what he never does. He never cleans himself up first. He prays with “blood on my boots,” and he prays honestly. Scripture says that’s the right w...
