"Victory" by Jillian Schafer - Breaking Chains, Finding Freedom

Jillian Schafer's "Victory" is an amazing song, not just the lyrics, but also how this was created. Jillian shares, "One evening in the living room, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and inspiration wash over me. It was as if the Holy Spirit was guiding my heart and hands. In just 30–45 minutes, the song "Victory" poured out of me a process that usually takes me hours or days." The song is a celebration of Christ's triumph over sin and death, but even more important, it has a major message for you… right here and now! It's simple… it's an open invitation for you to ask God to be part of your life. This is how His sacrifice will also apply to you. It's easy to see Jesus' sacrifice: "Wrongfully accused, willfully abused, heart-broken and bruised." You will hear Jillian sing about the hope that He brings, "A perfect sacrifice, Victory!" The lyrics take us to the time of Adam and Eve to remind us of how human...

"I Need You" by Always July - The Faithfulness That Waits

Always July's "I Need You" is a cry of surrender that comes from a very personal place. Always July shared that when he was younger, he believed that being close to God meant that he had to follow all of God's rules/commandments perfectly, and that this was the key to somehow earning God's grace. "But no matter how hard I tried, I kept falling short. And instead of feeling closer to Him, I was weighed down by guilt and shame." This message hits hard, possibly because it sounds so familiar! No amount of distractions or fleeting pleasures is able to fill the void, and then he realizes, "I could run away, but I wouldn't know where to run to? Can I come home to you?" This is a journey that many can relate to: the feeling of being lost, broken, and the weight of failure. "The more I climbed, the deeper I fell," and constantly asking yourself, "Who will save me from my guilty pleasures?" Yet, through it all, the song gives u...

"Psalm 1 (A Life In Bloom)" by Red Letter Society - Flourishing in Faith

Red Letter Society's "Psalm 1 (A Life In Bloom)" is the debut single from Jordan West's ambitious project with Red Letter Society, a project where all 150 psalms will be put to new meditative and worshipful music.  Starting with Psalm 1, Red Letter Society takes a closer look at what it means to live deeply rooted in God's Word. The song cuts right to the chase with, "Blessed is the one who walks in light, turns from sin and does what's right," reminding us that choosing truth over lies sets us apart. Because it's not always that easy to see what is truth, we are reminded to constantly seek God's face in the Bible. God is the source of all truth, and He steers us clear from the lies. The chorus beautifully sets the scene of "A tree planted by streams of water, flowers in bloom, yielding its fruit." This scene is personal, showing us that the righteous aren't just surviving, they're thriving because of their connection to G...

The lyrics are inspired by Psalm 91, "He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler."

He reminds us that God's protection isn't abstract; it's personal and something that you can bank on!
