'Streams' by Stephanie Staples: A Musical Balm for the Weary Soul


Just as a journey down a peaceful, life-giving stream can refresh the weary traveler, Stephanie Staples' song, 'Streams,' can infuse a feeling of rest to the weary soul. 'Streams' is a journey of faith, leading us from worldly struggle to divine serenity. It is impressively produced and delicately woven with gospel-influenced refrains.

Stephanie Staples - StreamsThis song, inspired by Jeremiah 17, beautifully captures our firm faith in the Lord as our true sustenance, our validation beyond what the world can offer. The chorus of 'Streams' blooms like a promise made and kept in the midst of the world's relentless hustle: 'Plant me by those beautiful streams. Spirit breathe life into me. You are my peace. I need you.' This heartfelt plea assures the weary soul of God's enduring presence and refreshing peace.

Every note breathed through Staples' powerful voice contains a presence that invites us to let go of our worries and embrace the divine life-giving stream. Each verse speaks to a common human experience, echoing the difficulties we face and the healing we seek. 'You kept singing your songs over me until I was found,' Staples sings, capturing the essence of God's faithfulness. It is a personal story filled with sincerity and uplifting reassurance of God's unending love and healing.

Allow 'Streams' to wash over you for a while. Grounded in faith, radiant with hope, and flowing with compassion, may this song stir in you a renewed grace to trust in the Lord as your refuge in all seasons of life.

(Related scripture: Jeremiah 17:14; Psalm 1:3; Ezekiel 37:5)

"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...

"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...
