Is God’s power something you believe or something you live? (by Jasper Tan) Sandra Lamb’s latest single “Mighty God” is a powerful Afro-gospel anthem that serves as a testimony of one’s resilience and devotion. At the core of this song is the celebration of God’s trustworthiness and reliability as the song testifies about knowing that we are stronger with Jesus as our shield that covers us from harm (0:22,0:25). The song brings reassurance to listeners that we can always find refuge, strength, and abiding joy when we have Jesus Christ in our lives. And even when we are navigating the difficult trials in our lives, Jesus remains faithful in reassuring us that he will always be there to bring hope. Keep Isaiah 41:10 in mind: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you.” The song also celebrates God’s mightiness, encouraging us to make a shift in our perspective and learn to move away from our personal anxieties and worldly conc...

Why settle for normal when you can feel unstoppable? Some feelings can’t be hidden, and Shoshan Dunamis knows this well. “Feel Good” is a groovy, indie dance-pop track that pulses with the kind of energy that won’t stay quiet, the kind that spills out and makes people ask questions. “Can’t hide, can’t run from this feeling that overcomes me,” she sings. That’s a testimony waiting to happen. People notice when your joy doesn’t match your circumstances. They start asking why. “What’s the set-up? Can you tell us?” Shoshan describes that moment in her song, and her answer is beautifully simple: “He makes me feel good.” That’s not a system or a technique. It’s a relationship with God. Here’s the truth she’s pointing to: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice” (Philippians 4:4, ESV). Notice the word “always”? It’s not just on good days. Not just when life cooperates. Always! Why does that matter to you today? Circumstances will change, but this joy has a different source....

What happens when praise outgrows your words?  Picture the moment described in Genesis 1, before light existed. No stars, no sky, no sound. Then God spoke (Gen. 1:3), and everything that exists today snapped into being. That’s the moment where Gresha Schuilling’s “Cannot Contain Your Praise” starts, with the line “You spoke and all creation came // And bowed to the Ancient of Days.” That’s the actual scale of who we’re singing to.  Look up at the night sky sometime soon. The “vast and moonlit skies” and “rolling clouds” the song describes are doing their best to describe Him. But words fail every time. As the lyrics put it, words “speak of Your power and might // Yet cannot say it right.” Mountains can’t hold Him. Oceans can’t define Him. King Solomon hit this same wall centuries ago, asking, “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, much less this house that I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27).  So why try to praise...

What are you really afraid of right now? Fear has a way of showing up uninvited. It doesn’t knock. “In Your Victory (Psalm 21)” by Souls Victory gives an unshakable answer to that problem, channeling the bold conviction of Christian rock legends like Russ Taff and Steve Camp into something that hits just as hard today. The song doesn’t ease into its message. It opens with a direct question: “Whom should I fear?” That’s not rhetorical fluff. It’s a challenge. Picture the scene it sets. An army camped outside your door. Enemies closing in. Lying witnesses who are building a case against you. Most people would crumble under that kind of pressure. Yet the song declares, “My heart does not fear… Even then do I trust.” Where does that kind of steadiness come from? It comes from Psalm 21 and Psalm 27. The chorus literally quotes Psalm 27, where David writes: “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” He’s not pretending the threats aren’t real. He’s choosing where to fix h...

Your worst day doesn’t define you anymore  Some songs ease into their subject. “Greater Is The Cross” by Ginny Owens, Josh Bissell, and The Church Will Sing doesn’t. It opens with a list that most of us recognize all too well: “words that we have spoken, promises we’ve broken, the roads of wrong we’ve chosen.” No softening, no spin. Written as a modern hymn for the Church, the song refuses to rush past the weight of sin and shame before getting to the good news. That order matters because you can’t appreciate a debt canceled if you’ve never looked at the debt itself and its possible consequences.  And the debt here is clearly named: “great the guilt that finds us, the grip of shame that binds us.” Most of us know that grip of shame. Maybe you’re still feeling it today. But the song doesn’t stop at the diagnosis. “A Lamb once bound reminds us of the joy we’re holding to.” The chorus sums it up in five words: “greater is the cross of Christ.” The apostle Paul wrote something ...

When the wells run dry, where do you go? Spiritual burnout doesn’t announce itself. It creeps in slowly, one unanswered prayer at a time, until you look up and wonder where the connection went. Living Again knows this place quite well. Formed during lockdown in Oceanside, California, the band Living Again started by leading worship in parking lots and outlet malls, building something real from nothing. That same honesty shows up in this song, “Cynical and Jaded”. “The wells that I’ve dug have all but run dry,” the lyrics admit. No pretending. No spiritual performance. Just truth. Here’s what makes this song more than just a complaint: it keeps reaching. “Is there an ocean I can drown in,” the chorus asks. That may seem like despair talking, but behind despair is a longing for hope, even when it feels fragile. Psalm 42:1 speaks about the same longing: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.” Notice something? The deer doesn’t pretend that it isn’t thirs...

Some angels choose to stay, not soar. A man stands at the edge of the sky, wings ready, Heaven waiting. He could leave. He could soar. Instead, he stays. That’s the setting of “Earthbound Angel”, twenty years after it first played on local radio and found its way into the hearts of teenagers who hadn’t yet been burned by love. The song was written fresh out of heartbreak, half-convinced that love wasn’t worth believing in anymore. When he dug past the cynicism, he landed somewhere older and truer: love that gives without expecting anything back. Listen to the lyrics closely. “I could choose to soar above the skies // And be one with the flight of angels.” That’s the temptation, the easy exit, but the next line turns everything around: “I am here in this world for one purpose // To be with you and be your guide.” This is a love song about staying for sacrifice. Sound familiar? We hope it does, because this is the story of Jesus, who had every right to remain untouched by our mess and ...
