'Pray Twice' by Andrew Macdonald - Sing Your Prayer


There is a beautiful quote attributed to St. Augustine that says: 'The one who sings prays twice'. Andrew Macdonald combines that message with Psalm 150 in his song 'Pray Twice'. Inspired by the joyful noise of Psalm 150 and realizing that singing elevates our prayers, Macdonald created this song as a tribute to his church band, as well as to everyone who sings in worship. This song is an invitation to stand up, sing, and join others in praise. 

Andrew Macdonald - Pray Twice'Pray Twice' reminds us that when we sing, we're doubling down on our prayers. It celebrates collective worship, uniting fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers in a melody of praise, and rejoicing in God's presence. 

When life is throwing lots at you and weighing you down, singing praises is a great way to get some of that load off our shoulders. 'Pray Twice' is an upbeat, lively song that encourages you to open your heart and let your voice soar, because when we sing, we make a deeper connection to God and with others. 

Give 'Pray Twice' a listen. May Andrew Macdonald's dedication inspire you, and remember, when words fall short, your song speaks volumes.

(Related scripture: Psalm 150:3-6; James 5:13; Ephesians 5:19)

"Blame Jesus" by Drew Parker: When Grace Rewrites Your Story

Who were you before Jesus found you?  Drew Parker spent a decade chasing a country music dream. He got the record deal, the Opry stage, the number 1 songs written for other artists. Then Jesus interrupted the plan. Drew realized that he’d spent years asking God to bless his ambitions instead of surrendering to God’s. So he decided to walk away from something that was working, not something that was failing. Walking away like this requires a special kind of courage.  In the song “Blame Jesus”, Drew Parker and Steven Curtis Chapman share Drew’s story in plain terms. The song speaks about burning bridges, chasing a “lost highway,” being “a prodigal, a rebel on a losing streak.” Sound familiar? Most of us may have seen a comparable variation of that story in our lives. When God is working in our lives, things change! Drew sings about that change: “these days if you look at me, and what you see ain’t what you used to see.” He doesn’t credit it to willpower or self-improvement. H...

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"Be Strong in the Lord" by Gresha Schuilling: Victory Begins in Your Mind

What happens when your mind becomes the battlefield? Night & valleys bring their own kind of noise. Fear whispers, doubt shouts, and a hundred voices compete for space in your head. That noise also manages to spread its way into other parts of our lives. That struggle is the theme of Gresha Schuilling's song “Be Strong in the Lord.” The lyrics describe a battle that starts long before our circumstances change: “The battle first was won within // Before the light broke through.” Real victory begins in the mind, not in the moment things finally look better. The song names a shift that most of us are familiar with. While our mind is often capable of balancing external data and placing it in a healthier context, our own thoughts seem to easily bypass that balancing mechanism. Our thoughts grow loud, our fears grow louder, and we need something powerful to interrupt that cycle. We ask God to guide us and bless us with truth. “Your Word grew stronger than our thoughts // As truth to...
