'Higher Ground' by Noah Hobson - Finding Hope on Higher Ground


'Higher Ground,' a song by Noah Hobson, is a beautiful song that focusses on Christ's sacrifice and God's endless grace. The lyrics were inspired by Luke 22:42, where Jesus asks the Father to 'take this cup from me.' When we think about that important moment in Gethsemane and how it relates to our own struggles and victories, we too can say, 'You took this cup and saved me from myself on higher ground.' 

Noah Hobson - Higher GroundAs you listen, you'll hear the sincerity of Noah in every line, speaking to everyone that is in need of a fresh start: 'I stand on higher ground, And that is where my hope is found. I am laying down what's proud, and now I'm found on higher ground.' These words aren't just song lyrics; they illustrate that Christ can give us new faith and ultimate freedom (if you invite Him into your life). 

'Higher Ground' strikes a chord with anyone that is struggling with their shortcomings, and shares a message of the redemption and transformation that we all may receive in Christ alone. So dive into this song, let the lyrics lead your way to 'higher ground.' May this song inspire to invite Christ into your life, and by doing so, find your place above sin and eternally wrapped in God's everlasting grace.

(Related scripture: Luke 22:42, Romans 5:8, Isaiah 55:8-9, 2 Corinthians 5:17)

"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....

"Simple Pursuit" by John Long: Finding Joy in the Everyday Moments

John Long wrote "Simple Pursuit" after realizing he had spent years chasing the next big thing for God, but in the meantime his family suffered. The real grand moments aren't found on a stage (or at work), they are found in moments like at the supper table, in bedtime prayers, in the waking of children in the morning, and while standing with a brother in his laughter and sorrow.  It's in those moments that we will find God: "My reward is knowing that you're closer than my breath." It's these moments that make us ask ourselves why we are chasing the applause when the King is already within whispering distance. Instead of building towers, John Long suggests choosing a slower, lower altar: "I will live a life that's slower… I find my joy here in the… still." This song is one of those beautiful nudges in life, one that challenges us to trade the big race for the rhythm of "ordinary days." The lyrics point us to the real and simp...
