'One Day' by Effie: Finding Victory in Life's Unseen Path


Effie's song "One Day" is a beautiful reminder that life's fog of uncertainty is temporary and that victory & clarity are just around the corner. Effie shared that one evening she was sitting in her room with her guitar and thinking about feeling loss and how darkness can seem to sweep over us. She began to sing and play out the words and melody that came into her heart. It seemed to just pour out, and it turned into a song that captures the essence of faith's journey, showing how Christ went from what seemed to be defeat to ultimate victory.

Effie - One DayEffie sings: "You knew that your final climb // Was leading to victory," about our walk through life's unseen plans, towards a masterpiece we're still not able to fully grasp. An unwavering belief that even in moments when we can't piece together the bigger picture, God is at work in our lives, crafting something that is far beyond our imagination - where "the dark will be swallowed by the light" and who we are "will finally awake."

Effie encourages us to keep our faith in God and trust that everything we experience in our lives fits into a greater and more wonderful plan. We will see the beauty and hope in His plan as it comes together piece by piece. It's perfectly okay if we can't see it just yet. Effie calls us to trust in what we cannot see beyond the horizon, because God promises that the day will come when all doubts will clear and we start to see the riches that come from our journey.

So, take a moment and give Effie's song "One Day" a listen. May "One Day" help you to stand strong in faith, patiently look to see beyond the here and now, and embrace the hope of what His plan will unveil one day.

"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...

The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...
