Armstead Ford’s 'Have Mercy O Grace': A Soulful Cry for God’s Compassion


When we think that we are alone with our struggles and thoughts in the quiet moments of life, an unexpected whisper can pass over our hearts and herald a shift in our spirit. This is the journey that Armstead Ford beautifully captures in his gospel song 'Have Mercy O Grace.'

Armstead Ford - Have Mercy O Grace'Have Mercy, O Grace' is nothing short of a musical witness. Ford shares his personal experiences, ranging from feeling lost in the hustle of worldly pursuits to finding peace on a 'mourner's bench' during a Wednesday night church service. This spiritual offering is both passionate and tender, bringing up images of a man at the end of his rope, finally surrendering his burdens to God's unfailing grace and mercy.

It serves as a stirring reminder that when we surrender to God's grace, we are met with loving arms open wide, rather than harsh judgment. It emphasizes that no matter our past, no matter the burden we bear, God's mercy and grace are always ready to restore our weary souls.

Listening to 'Have Mercy, O Grace' does more than just filling the air with melody. It ushers in a sense of divine comfort, an intimate dialogue between a man and his maker. The song is an invitation to all of us: allow God's grace to lead you into His arms, and cry out earnestly for His mercy. Allow this song to inspire you, bring hope to your situation, and remind you of Jesus' endless love.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:8; Hebrews 4:16; Psalm 51:1-2)

'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...

"Turn to You" by Mike Cunningham: A Veterinarian's Worship Journey

Mike Cunningham is a veterinarian from Ohio. He traded his country tunes for worship music after discovering God's call on his life. In this debut single, "Turn to You," Cunningham explores what it means to seek God in a world that is so clouded by chaos and lies. He boldly asks the question, "In a world so torn with darkness, can a miracle set us free?" Looking at the chaos and mess around us, a situation that makes life feel quite overwhelming for many, it's His miracle that truly gives us hope. Cunningham reminds us that Jesus isn't just a distant figure that once walked on water and healed the blind, He is there for you and walks by your side. He is ready to guide you (if you let Him), even through your darkest nights. When everything is shaking beneath your feet, He is the one that you can lean on. "You are the way, the truth, and the light," bringing the clarity that we desperately need in our lives today.  May this song turn your gaze ...

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...
