"Yahweh (Nothing Compares)" by Alex Young And Friends: Honoring the Creator of All Things


"Yahweh (Nothing Compares)" by Alex Young And Friends is a reminder of who God truly is - Creator, Sustainer, and King over all. Alex Young is a Christian singer-songwriter from Atlanta, GA, USA. He shares that this song began as a simple idea from one of his music students during a lesson. They worked on it together, and the result was so good that Alex had to record and release it. 

Alex Young And Friends - Yahweh (Nothing Compares)The lyrics take us back to the beginning: "You spoke the heavens into existence // They shout Your glory through starstruck skies." A familiar scene from Genesis 1. Then there's the poetic imagery of man created out of dust and watching life itself being woven together: "You sew the threads of life together and You fill us with Your breath." All of science put together can do amazing things, but nothing compares to our God. That realization invites us into a moment of reverence and gratitude.

No one and nothing can rival Yahweh's majesty. "Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the power // Yours is the glory, now and forever." God is almighty, powerful, creator, and deliverer! And in His majesty, He constantly emphasizes His plan for us and the place He has prepared. It's impossible not to feel small and, at the same time, deeply loved.

(Related scripture: Genesis 1:1-2; Psalm 19:1-2; Isaiah 43:7)

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...
