'Surrendered Hearts' by Red Letter Society - How Music Can Lead Us to True Surrender


Have you ever noticed how performances of the same song can differ when artists are lead by the Spirit. It is as if the Spirit is making little tweaks to help finetune the message to a receptive audience. That is what makes this rendition of 'Surrendered Hearts' by Red Letter Society so special. I've listened to all of the previous releases of this song, and this release continues to grab me with its powerful message. This is a live recording made at The Heights, and this rendition triggers new thoughts about surrendering your heart to God. Maybe you're thinking that surrendering or laying down your own will before God is defeat... on the contrary! Surrendering your heart is how you can step into the life that God has prepared for you.

Red Letter Society - Surrendered Hearts (Live At The Heights)Sin did a number on us, and totally messed up our relationship with God. This song points out how easy it actually is to return back to God, and get back to His blueprint for our lives. The first step is to allow the Holy Spirit to spark a fire of desire in you that helps you to surrender your heart completely to God. It's about a desire to invite God into your life, let His reign realign your focus, standards, and rule your heart. Truly, what could be more beautiful than that?

Maybe 'Surrendered Hearts' is the (re-)start of your journey to wake up to God's heart, His will, and His ways. A boost on your journey to discover the joy of exchanging your hunger for the world with a hunger for the Holy. Moving away from the logic in your head to surrendering your heart to Him—because a truly amazing transformation will happen when you surrender your heart to God's love and lead.

I pray this song will boost that journey!

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...
