"Set Us Free" by Anna Victoria: Dancing in the Freedom God Already Gave You


What does it look like to dance like David today? 

David didn’t walk back to Jerusalem with the Ark of the Covenant. He danced, wildly, publicly, and without apology. Anna Victoria’s “Set Us Free” reaches back into that same moment and pulls it forward into today. “Set Us Free” is a live-recorded song that captures the kind of joy you can’t manufacture in a studio. The raw energy in the studio wasn’t staged. It’s the sound of people who’ve been set free. 

Anna Victoria - Set us freeThe lyrics don’t whisper about that freedom; it is boldly declared! “You have saved us, you have saved us, you have saved us — you set us free.” Alongside Miriam’s tambourine and David’s dance, the song pulls you into a line of people who, throughout history, have responded to God’s presence with everything they have. That’s not a performance. It’s a posture, a way of thinking, seeing, and acting for His glory. 

The song gradually evolves into something even bigger. “Beyond all measure of what I can see, your love so vast, so wide and deep.” The apostle Paul put it this way in Ephesians 3:18 — that you would have the power “to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth” of the love of Christ. A love that surpasses knowledge and anything that we can comprehend. That’s what Anna Victoria is singing about. Not a feeling, but a reality. 

His mercies are new every morning! May that land today. Whatever yesterday held, may you wake up to fresh grace. Go ahead and listen to “Set Us Free”, feel the energy, and let it encourage you to respond with everything you have. “We will dance, we will dance, we will dance cos You set us free.”

(Related scripture: Ephesians 3:18; Lamentations 3:22–23; Psalm 149:3)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Forever" by Randy Wade: The God Who Has Always Been

The King who reigns forever also reigns over you. Before a single star burned in the sky, before the first mountain rose from the earth, God was. Worship Pastor and Contemporary Christian songwriter Rev. Randy Wade captures this in his song “Forever”, a song built on the unshakeable and eternal nature of God. “Before the mountains were lifted high, before the stars gave light to the sky, You O Lord have always been, the One with no beginning and no end.”   Randy wrote “Forever” to point our hearts toward Christ. The song pulls your gaze off the noise of daily life and fixes it on the One who exists outside of time. We have a God who doesn’t react to circumstances, but One who reigns above them. Revelation 1:8 declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This scripture isn’t just a declaration; it can also be read as a personal promise. It is the same God who holds eternity in His hands who also holds your uncerta...
