"Heart of Worship" (cover) by Andrew Macdonald: Rediscover Pure Devotion


'Heart of Worship' was originally released by Matt Redman, and Andrew Macdonald has now released an interesting rendition of the song. This song invites you to strip away the distractions and refocus on what truly matters - Jesus. Inspired by Matt Redman's gentle and prayerful style, Andrew uses his signature voice and feel for details to give this song a new flavor that deserves a listen. 

Andrew Macdonald - Heart of WorshipThe opening lines, 'When the music fades and all is stripped away, and I simply come,' setting the tone, reminding you that it is all about the pure, unmodified you, and your focus on facing our Lord. Andrew shares that he felt that this song really fits well with the overall theme of his album 'Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength,' which is all about worship and the love of God above everything else. 

'When I recorded it,' Andrew shares, ''I' was very present in the moment, and I hope that comes out.' You can really feel Andrew's dedication while he's singing lines like, 'I'll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself is not what You have required. You search much deeper within… You're looking into my heart.' 

Every time you listen to this song, it's a gentle reminder to return to the core of your faith. It's all about Jesus. In today's busy world, we often get caught up in rituals and routines, but this song calls us back to sincere and heartfelt worship, bringing Jesus into every part of our lives. 'I'm coming back to the heart of worship, and it's all about You, Jesus.' 

Go ahead and give it a listen. May Andrew Macdonald's rendition of 'Heart of Worship' guide you to a place of genuine devotion. You'll find peace and renewed faith in this song. Enjoy!

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...
