Rock of Ages' by Rick Gallagher Project: An Instrumental Tapestry of Faith and Comfort


Rick Gallagher Project released 'Rock of Ages,' a classic hymn that has been delicately woven into an instrumental tapestry of faith, solace, and reverence. This instrumental rendition transcends time and language, reflecting the divine grace that comforts our souls.

As we listen to this version, each note seeps into our hearts, creating an intimate and personal prayer. We are reminded of God's unwavering presence, the unmoving Rock of Ages, which provides refuge for each soul on its journey.

Rick Gallagher Project - Rock of AgesThe story behind this hymn conveys a vivid reliance on this unchanging Rock for protection and salvation. As the melody progresses, you can almost see Reverend Augustus Montague Toplady seeking refuge and inspiration in the midst of a raging storm. The delicate musical notes recreate that precious moment for us, gently reminding us that God is our dependable refuge, especially when storms strike.

While the instrumental contains no words, we are reminded of the hymn's familiar lyrics. We are reminded of God's unending grace, which washes away our sins and purifies us in exchange for nothing more than our faith.

The Rick Gallagher Project's instrumental performance of 'Rock of Ages' is a beautiful invitation. Let the music fill your heart as you listen. God's comforting message will echo through your soul, offering a clear reflection of His eternal grace.

"Dancing On Water" by Mary Oz: When grief has no power over Hope

(by Jasper Tan) I have always been a huge admirer of Mary Oz's music. Since the moment I discovered her songs, without fail, I've always made it a point to add them to my playlists. If there was one CCM artist from the Philippines who deserves to be heard on a global scale, then my vote belongs to Mary.  Her latest single, "Dancing On Water" (which is a part of her forthcoming album), is a pure acoustic folk/rock song that talks about breakthroughs from grief. As Mary shares, "Grief can swallow you whole, but it's not a life sentence. The morning will come, and with it, Joy." This is a very empowering statement that seeks to inspire her listeners to take courage, rejoice, leave the sadness behind, and just conquer their fears.  What I love about Mary's songwriting is her deep metaphorical lyricism that makes her songs stand out among the clutter of songs in this age of digital music. You'll definitely know that her songs are very well thought of...

“We Worship You I AM”, Doyin Teru – Worship in Spirit and Truth

"We Worship You I AM" by Doyin Teru is a relatively simple song with a massive vision and message behind it. The song was born in a moment of prayer. In Bolaji Teru's own words: "Few minutes into the prayers, I knelt down on my knees with the consciousness that God is present and must be revered. In a moment, tears began to flow from my eyes as I heard the song in my spirit as if it's being sung by thousands of others. So I joined them to sing the song and right after, took my phone, recorded the song and gradually began to develop and produced it." In other words, this isn't just another worship track; it's an invitation to join in with a heavenly chorus.  The song repeats a few core phrases: "We worship Your Majesty," "We worship Your Royalty," and the declaration, "We worship You, I AM." Instead of crowding the song with many words, it leans on the weight of God's revealed name  —  "I AM," the Etern...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
