Discover the Hope in 'Lifegiver' by Matt LeFait


'Lifegiver' by Matt LeFait is a beautiful song centered on how God saves and gives us new life. This song was written after Matt and his family had recently gone through a difficult period in their lives, filled with pain and stress. Suddenly, life felt as if it had been renewed, and Matt felt the need to capture that feeling into a song.

Matt LeFait - LifegiverThe pre-chorus powerfully says, “Just when I feel that my life’s not part of your plan, endless mercy shows me that you hold my hand.” God's grace never fades, and this echoes Ephesians 2:4-5, where it reminds us of God’s rich love and mercy, making us alive together with Christ even when we were at our lowest.

You can feel this deeply in lyrics like, “You’re my constant overflow when my well runs dry.” Matt describes God as the anchor that holds steadfast until the waves calm, offering peace and rest through every storm we face.

As Matt sings, “Here I am I’m sanctified, I once was dead but now alive,” you’re drawn into a testimony of transformation and freedom. There are many references to this freedom in Christ throughout the song, and this reminds us that we may be free and unbound in His love, if we accept Him as our Lifegiver and Savior.

Feel free to listen to 'Lifegiver' if you haven't already. Feel the words in your heart as you close your eyes. May Matt's story of new life and God's unending grace encourage you today.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:4-5; John 11:25-26; Psalm 23:3-4 )

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"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....

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
