'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.

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Gentle" by Andrew Macdonald: Finding Grace in Life's Hardest Moments

(by Jasper Tan) Have you heard of any heartfelt song lately that elaborates on the pain, yet the yearning for healing feels so heart-wrenching? Andrew Macdonald's latest song, "Gentle," feels just like that. In what seems like a conversational piece with someone, the song actually is a prayer yearning for God's grace and healing. The lush sound of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the heartfelt delivery of the vocals, delivers a certain kind of sincerity wherein Andrew pours his heart out to Jesus. It is very seldom to hear songs wherein the singer cuts through our emotions just enough for us to feel an affinity to his pleas. And Andrew's outreach for help through prayer is something that really cuts through our own pains when we are in those moments of vulnerability while we deal with our own issues. Though the song starts off as a sad song and the lines that are delivered feel so gloomy and hopeless, the song makes a stark change for the better when it starts to...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
