"Plans" by Freedom Heart: Finding Peace in His Perfect Design


Freedom Heart's song "Plans" dives into the struggle we all know of trying to control our own lives, and at a certain point we realize/accept that God's way is always better. The lyrics reflect the moment of surrender, where we acknowledge that we often make mistakes and lose sight of our calling and recognize that God's plans are perfect, beyond anything that we could imagine. 

Freedom Heart - PlansThe verses beautifully capture this tension—of admitting fears of failure and, at the same time, finding comfort in the truth that God has a greater plan for us and He never fails. The chorus makes it clear that no matter how much we doubt, we can't derail God's purpose for us. God sees what we can't see and promises to guide us along every step of our journey. The bridge of the song helps to shift our mindset to bold confidence, declaring an end to our overthinking because His Spirit and Word anchors us securely (if we accept it). 

May this song reassure you that by trusting God, we are embracing peace, even when the path ahead seems to be unclear. After all, His plans aren't just good—they're perfect!

(Related scripture: Isaiah 55:8-9; Proverbs 3:5-6; Jeremiah 29:11)

"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....

"Thankful" by Lowen: The Practice of Being Thankful

Lowen's "Thankful" isn't one of those typical feel-good gratitude songs. Life is good most of the time… and even when it hurts, there's often something quietly waiting inside the pain, like a lesson, a softening, or a deeper understanding. Lowen found inspiration for this song in what Stephen Colbert once said, "… he learned to love the thing he most wished had never happened, and that simply being here is a gift. Gratitude means holding all of it, not just the easy parts."   The lyrics open with a warm anchor: "Every day that I wake, I just feel so thankful." We're encouraged not to flinch from the messy middle. This is not about ignoring life's quakes! Lowen admits, "honesty is telling me I need space" when the world feels unsteady. In other words, the gratitude that Lowen sings about isn't about forcing a smile through pain — it's about meeting every moment (including the hard moments) with presence, care, and res...

"He Must Increase" by Rorie: Humbling ourselves in God’s presence

Inspired by the verses John 3:30, Philippians 3:7–8, and John 10:27, Rorie releases "He Must Increase", a beautiful song that reminds us of the sound of CCM from the 2000s, easily the era when the rise of CCM was at its peak. Rorie sings the song with earnestness as she opens the lines "The seasons change and we are aging, But You alone are God of the ages." You'll immediately know that this song is putting God front and center. There's a certain aspect of the song that clearly wants to remind us that God will always be bigger than us. That his glory and mercy will always shine through, and we are mere travelers in the world that he built. Everything emanates from him, and we cannot claim to be bigger than God.  It's a humbling reminder that what we have, what we attained, it all comes as a blessing that He has gifted to us. We cannot claim that it is our works that brought us the joys and triumphs. These gifts and accomplishments are nothing without Hi...
