'Consecrated ' by Cindy Clark: A Prayer for True Healing


'Consecrated' Cindy Clark is a relatable song, especially if you've faced the dark nights of despair or walked along rocky paths that are filled with personal struggles, such as depression and loss. Cindy's songs are born out of her struggles with depression, chronic pain, addiction, and devastating losses, and even more important, the lyrics point to the healing power that we all may find in singing God's word. 

Cindy Clark - ConsecratedWith 'Consecrated,' Cindy points us to a place of healing and growing our relationship with God. A relationship where we long for more intimacy and more time in His presence. 

Cindy starts each verse with a plea, to be set apart. 'Set me apart to sing your praise I lift up my hands to worship // Open up my ears to hear your voice so I can follow you // I wanna see your beauty // I want to enter in.' Can you already see yourself praising Him and having an intimate conversation with our Savior? 

This is the yearning that Cindy is sharing, a yearning for something so pure that it cancels out all of the noise, and to 'buy salve for my eyes and robes of white' as Cindy sings. It's a genuine desire to live a life for His glory. The great thing about it is that everyone can do this, including you and me! We need to first let God into our hearts, ask Him to change the way we think and how we perceive things, and ask Him to help us remember that we're not alone on this journey… because He is by our side. 

Listen to the message found in 'Consecrated' and allow it to fill your heart with its truth. Cindy encourages you to step closer to God's all-consuming fire, a fire that brings you the deliverance, hope, and consecration that you desire.

(Related scripture: Psalm 51:10; Romans 12:1-2; Revelation 3:18)

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...

"Man of Sorrows" by Lauren Gruwell: Jesus Feels Your Pain With You

Jesus knows your pain before you speak it. Lauren Gruwell knows what it is when Jesus feels unreachable. Trauma in her childhood left her with deep sorrow, and for years Jesus seemed too far away. She didn’t think she was good enough to come near Him. Are you also familiar with that feeling? Do you sit in the dark, tears falling, and wonder: “… no one knows but if they did, would they care?” Lauren shares: “It wasn’t until He changed me, that I realized that HE has felt all the pain I’ve ever felt, and that He loves me regardless.” The Savior that she thought she couldn’t approach had already walked her road. This song, “Man of Sorrows”, grew from that discovery, and it carries a promise for anyone who hurts: “And all of my hurt, He felt it first…” . Jesus hurts right beside you. In Isaiah 53:3, we read that He was “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” Then comes the line that changes everything: “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” Our griefs. Our sorrow...

"No Other Name" by Joakim Arenius and Josef Tingbratt: Hope That Outlasts the Darkness

Darkness grips hard, but one name holds harder. Where do you turn when your strength runs out? Josef Tingbratt and Joakim Arenius wrote “No Other Name” for that moment. Their song follows a man who is “Restless weary and alone,” “So many miles from home.” Inner voices that treat him unkindly. Then a night raid brings brutal violence: “They tried to break his body down, but they could not break his crown.” Notice what he does when “darkness gets its grip.” He calls Jesus: “Jesus, Jesus hear my cry.” No fancy words, just a cry. The song grew where two struggles meet. Some believers face ridicule or violence for following Jesus. Others fight a quieter battle with loneliness and doubt. Both struggles need the same answer. Peter answered the rulers who questioned him in Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” He spoke with threats hanging over him. His confidence never rested on comfortable c...
