"I'm Still Going to Praise You" by Die Taube: Choosing Praise in the Waiting


Can worship survive a season without answers? 

Some seasons don’t resolve on schedule. “I’m Still Going to Praise You” by Die Taube (‘the dove’) was born from one of those seasons — infertility sitting alongside a father’s cancer diagnosis, disappointment stacking on disappointment. The song is part of an upcoming album, Pilgrimage, releasing one song per month until December. The album is a crossing, not a recovery, not getting back to who one was but coming through changed.

Die Taube - I‘m Still Going to Praise YouThe opening line of the song sets the whole tone: “Thank You has no seasons, worship does not wait.” God’s worthiness does not depend on our circumstances. Even when circumstances stay unresolved, we decide to look beyond our circumstances to praise and worship Him. 

Notice what the second verse admits. “When I feel like I’ve got nothing and other times so much” — our praises aren’t conditional on constant victory. The song is honest about fluctuating faith, and pairs it with a steady choice underneath. The pre-chorus emphasizes this even more: “Even if I’m the only one, even if just a few words come, even if I have lost it all.” Loss gets named directly, not softened. And still — “My mind is made.” 

Psalm 13 walks the same ground. David opens with raw complaint: “How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?” (Psalm 13:1). David hadn’t received an answer by verse 3. In verse 5 he writes, “I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” Nothing about his situation had changed between those verses. What changed was his posture. 

That’s the pattern that we too can adopt. Waiting on God to fix things before you thank Him puts your worship at the mercy of your circumstances. Flip the order instead. Let praise lead, and let your heart catch up. Ask yourself, what would it look like to thank God before the test results come back, before the relationship heals, before the bank account recovers? 

May this song give you direction while you sit with whatever it is that is unresolved in your life. May it encourage you to flip the order and let praise lead. “I’m still going to praise You, still going to praise You, LORD I will praise You with all my heart.”

(Related scripture: Psalm 13:5; Habakkuk 3:17-18; Job 13:15)

Background:

This song is an alternative electronic worship song about choosing to praise God when answers don't come. I wrote it during a deeply personal season marked by infertility, my father's battle with cancer, disappointment, and hurt. At its heart is a simple declaration: God's worthiness does not depend on our circumstances.

With its atmospheric electronic production, anthemic chorus, and Latino beat, I believe it could connect with listeners of modern worship, Christian electronic music, and songs about faith through difficult seasons.

"I'm Still Going to Praise You" is part of an upcoming album called "Pilgrimage" that Die Taube wrote and produced (releasing one song per month until December).

Pilgrimage holds the whole range of a long journey to a sacred place, physical or spiritual, open bright stretches as much as hard ground and nonlinear paths; and the record moves the same way: sure at the start, down and uncertain through the low middle, and out the far side as one who has been led by grace and experienced encounter and transformation.

The album is a crossing, not a recovery, not getting back to who one was but coming through changed. This is a universal reality understood as the desert season, the long, disorienting road through the wilderness that reshapes the soul and the heart of whoever crosses it. This album reminds us that, as believers/Christians, we are pilgrims; and while we find ourselves on this side of eternity with all our brokenness and pain, we are in an unfolding pilgrimage as we cross through our lifelong journey of steady inward healing and transformation into the very likeness of Christ. Our sacred destination: to be fully alive in the loving presence of God and His kingdom.

Release date: August 14, 2026

"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...
