'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)

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
