"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

"Clothed With Dignity" by Grace Frances: Trading Shame for a New Identity

Your worth was never up for negotiation.  Grace Frances wrote “Clothed With Dignity” from a place most of us recognize (in some form or other) but will rarely admit out loud. She carried old regrets like a second skin, calling herself names that her past mistakes didn’t deserve. “I demonize the girl I was, when she was just trying to survive,” she sings, and that line hurts. Haven’t we all judged ourselves for choices that we made while simply trying to get through the day? Even choices that seemed to be fine in the moment, but proved to be otherwise over time.  Grace’s breakthrough didn't come from fixing herself, but from surrendering… surrendering to God. “You clothe me with dignity,” she declares, describing a moment where self-condemnation lost its grip and grace took over.  Grace’s story is fairly similar to the story found in Isaiah 61:10 —  “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; h...

"Just Believe" by For Him: When Doubt Isn't Disqualifying

Can you believe without having all the answers? Some people wait at the edge of faith for years, arms crossed, waiting to feel ready. “Just Believe” was written by For Him for exactly that person — the one who wants to trust Jesus but still carries a list of questions. The song grew out of that in-between space, where doubt and faith sit side-by-side and neither one of them wins outright. Gritty Southern-rock guitars carry lyrics that ask a two-thousand-year-old question: “Could Love have worn a human face?” The answer to that question brings purpose and comfort to our lives. The song doesn’t demand certainty before you move. It invites wonder instead. “You don’t have to shape your future // He begins where you can’t reach.” The message and intent of this song make it clear that you don’t need to figure out everything first before you can take a step toward God.  A man quoted in the gospel of Mark understood this tension better than most of us. Desperate for his son to be healed,...

"I've Got Joy" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Why Joy Isn't the Same as Happiness

Sorrow and joy can share the same room. “I’ve Got Joy” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was triggered by a telephone call. Tyler reconnected with an old friend who’d been going through a period of loneliness. Tyler shares: “We talked at length about the season of loneliness he was experiencing, and we discussed a few other topics that are reflected in the verses.” This triggered Tyler to tackle this concept of having Joy, and it became clear that “I’ve Got Joy” isn’t the same as “I’ve Got Happiness” . Joy is more than happiness, and it certainly isn’t a painted-on smile. Tyler makes that distinction on purpose, because he’s writing about the nights he spent “down to my last prayer,” and about sitting “in a room full of people” while feeling completely invisible. He’s writing about all of the kneeling and “begging for the answer to a question I can’t speak.” That’s real, and that’s most of us, on our worst weeks. The chorus takes us back to “joy”. Tyler sings: “I’ve got joy in my lungs, ye...
