'Another Chance' by Ellen Hayes: A Hymn for the Hopeful


Few artists, in fact, capture the divine embrace of grace as tenderly as Ellen Hayes. 'Another Chance,' her latest release, is more than just a song; it's a testament to life's divine second act. This song, inspired by a minister's honest personal experiences, is a heartfelt hymn that seeks to inspire, uplift, and reassure.

Ellen Hayes - Another ChanceEach heartfelt lyric is a prayer, an ode to the awesome wonder of God's love, which undeniably flows through even the darkest of times. It's a gentle reminder that God's love never fails, and He never abandons us. Just when we think we've exhausted our options, His hands reach out, ever ready to embrace us.

Born of personal trials and tribulations, 'Another Chance' bears witness to our common human struggles as well as the unwavering redemption of God's grace. It highlights the transformative power of second chances, becoming better than we were, and of embracing hope.

The collaboration with The Word of Truth Mass Choir adds a soulful depth to the song, lifting it to an inspiringly heavenly level. The choir's performance, combined with Hayes' magnificent vocals, leads to a powerful statement of faith and resilience.

'Another Chance' is a balm for the wounded soul and a beacon of hope in a world that can feel overwhelming at times. So lean in and listen; you might just find your heart echoing the chorus, as well as the strength to try again.

(Related scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23; Isaiah 43:18-19; 1 John 1:9)

"Thankful" by Lowen: The Practice of Being Thankful

Lowen's "Thankful" isn't one of those typical feel-good gratitude songs. Life is good most of the time… and even when it hurts, there's often something quietly waiting inside the pain, like a lesson, a softening, or a deeper understanding. Lowen found inspiration for this song in what Stephen Colbert once said, "… he learned to love the thing he most wished had never happened, and that simply being here is a gift. Gratitude means holding all of it, not just the easy parts."   The lyrics open with a warm anchor: "Every day that I wake, I just feel so thankful." We're encouraged not to flinch from the messy middle. This is not about ignoring life's quakes! Lowen admits, "honesty is telling me I need space" when the world feels unsteady. In other words, the gratitude that Lowen sings about isn't about forcing a smile through pain — it's about meeting every moment (including the hard moments) with presence, care, and res...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

'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...
