'Why Wouldn't I Run?' by Lee Park Worship: An Invitation You Can't Ignore


Let me dive right into it: 'Why Wouldn't I Run?' by Lee Park Worship isn't your ordinary type of praise song. It's more like a heart-to-heart chat with a good friend over coffee, only this friend is called 'Faith' and he is challenging you to step up. We've all been there, trying to nail life on our own, pretending we've got it all figured out. But deep down, we know that when we lean into His goodness, that feeling of being alone fades away. Every... single... time!

Lee Park Worship - Why Wouldn’t I Run?Here's the kicker: Jesus already laid down the groundwork. He’s already did all of the heavy lifting. The burning question that this song is asking you is: 'Why wouldn't you run to Him?' You already have a picture of the peace, rest, and the unconditional love that is waiting for you. So, what's stopping you?

Lee Park Worship captures this divine lesson so beautifully. It's like they're whispering in your ear, reminding you of this truth that we so often forget as we go through life's chaos. This song isn't just for your playlist; it's especially for those moments when you're on the brink, teetering between faith and despair. It’s a reminder of His open arms and the amazing grace that is awaiting us.

So, why wouldn't you give it a listen? Let it play in the background of your day, your life. Let it nudge you gently towards Him. Because, in the end, when His love is calling out to you so clearly, running seems to be the only logical response, doesn't it?

(Related scripture: Hebrews 4:16; Jeremiah 31:3; John 14:27)

"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....

"He Must Increase" by Rorie: Humbling ourselves in God’s presence

Inspired by the verses John 3:30, Philippians 3:7–8, and John 10:27, Rorie releases "He Must Increase", a beautiful song that reminds us of the sound of CCM from the 2000s, easily the era when the rise of CCM was at its peak. Rorie sings the song with earnestness as she opens the lines "The seasons change and we are aging, But You alone are God of the ages." You'll immediately know that this song is putting God front and center. There's a certain aspect of the song that clearly wants to remind us that God will always be bigger than us. That his glory and mercy will always shine through, and we are mere travelers in the world that he built. Everything emanates from him, and we cannot claim to be bigger than God.  It's a humbling reminder that what we have, what we attained, it all comes as a blessing that He has gifted to us. We cannot claim that it is our works that brought us the joys and triumphs. These gifts and accomplishments are nothing without Hi...
