Eyes Like Fire is the type of song that one wants to listen to whenever one feels like he is on a spiritual warfare. The upbeat sound coupled with the repetitive chanting of such words as "Eyes like fire Hair like wool Face like the sun Voice like thunder Hand full of stars And the sword in his mouth Holding the keys Of death and grave" reinvigorates one's spirit to sing in Praise and Glory to God. It brings us to a place of awe, to which being in Jesus' presence is what it truly feels like. And the lyrics of the song are rich in visual expositions. Further giving life to one's imagination.  Though it's a worship song, it's the type of song that you can imagine being sang in an open field, like envisioning a huge concert scene… but not for any earthly reasons, but for a deeper meaning. The song truly reminds me of some traces of secular songs such as Coldplay. But this one to empower all of us to sing our praises to God. And that's what make this song...

John Long wrote "Simple Pursuit" after realizing he had spent years chasing the next big thing for God, but in the meantime his family suffered. The real grand moments aren't found on a stage (or at work), they are found in moments like at the supper table, in bedtime prayers, in the waking of children in the morning, and while standing with a brother in his laughter and sorrow.  It's in those moments that we will find God: "My reward is knowing that you're closer than my breath." It's these moments that make us ask ourselves why we are chasing the applause when the King is already within whispering distance. Instead of building towers, John Long suggests choosing a slower, lower altar: "I will live a life that's slower… I find my joy here in the… still." This song is one of those beautiful nudges in life, one that challenges us to trade the big race for the rhythm of "ordinary days." The lyrics point us to the real and simp...

Have you ever stood on a mountaintop, awed by the vastness of creation, and wondered how God can be both infinite and intimately close? That's the heart of "God Of…" by Blessing Tangban, the African Nova Scotian Music Association's 2025 Songwriter of the Year. Blessing wrote the lyrics for this song on a mountaintop in Nigeria.  The song reminds us that God isn't limited to our highs or lows. He's the God of the mountain and the valley, as Blessing sings, and He's the God of the healed and the broken. She sings, "God on the mountain, God in the valley // God every waking moment I see," emphasizing that God is there for us through our highs and lows… He is not there as an observer; He is deeply involved in our life.  "God in your splendor, God in your rage // God never changing from age to age." Blessing admits that she isn't always able to grasp this. "I try to understand, and I try to reconcile // All the ways that you show ...

Given what's happening in the world today, it is difficult to imagine that there will be a time that all nations unite in peace. Even more challenging is trying to imagine the thrill we'll feel when this happens. That promised moment of uniting in peace, and the excitement this will bring, is the heart of "The Mountain of Yahweh," by NARROWAY. This is one of the songs on NARROWAY's latest album, a song where the artists try to picture what will happen when the Messiah returns. Based on biblical prophecies, the song is about how people will be streaming to Yahweh's mountain, a gathering where all will come to worship and learn His ways. Don't mistake the use of the word "all" as an indicator that this is still so far away and nearly impossible. It is a promise that is going to happen, and when it does, it will still come as a surprise to so many! "To the mountain of Yahweh go, // Where His truth and mercy flow." And just as important, t...

Kingdmusic's "Speed Dial" is a reminder that God is always just a prayer away. It's like having God on speed dial, no matter what trials or temptations you're facing. The main takeaway is that God's presence and protection are always there for you.  The song begins with acknowledging the challenges that life can bring and at the same time affirming, "They won't bring me down." Instead of succumbing to fear, Kingdmusic shares that "My God is in control." You'll like how Kingdmusic refers to prayer as: "He's on the speed dial." This is such powerful idea, simple and profound, and so true… God is always accessible, and realizing that He is on "speed dial" or just a prayer away helps to face any obstacle with confidence.  God makes a way where it seems (in our eyes) to be none. "If you know God makes a way… Gotta give Him all your praise."   Now ask yourself: When was the last time you reached out to...

Sandra Lamb released a beautiful song called "In Your Presence." The lyrics are about finding peace and joy in God's presence, and here comes the challenging part… no matter what happens. In this song, Sandra creates a beautiful atmosphere of worship and intimacy. She sings, "In Your presence I find peace // Through the stormy days // I feel Your warm embrace," repeating Isaiah 26:3. This is one of the most famous and most loved verses in all of Isaiah, and with good reason.  Isaiah says to those in the present (that's you and me) that "perfect peace" is possible here and now. The Lord provides this to those whose minds are focused on the Lord through trusting in Him. The song also reminds us that perfect peace is not a state without any anxiety at all, or one where life is always easy and perfect. Sandra sings about an internal peace, a feeling of confident contentment that is completely independent of circumstances. It is a mind that is focused...

There are times when life can feel like an endless storm, raging on and on, with hardly a break in between. We see dreams crumble, periods in life that don’t fill us with energy, and bad news followed by more bad news. It’s in those moments when we’re left wondering… “What’s so good about God right now? Is He even there?” Dawson Shorman wrote “Everything Good” from that same place… hurting, yes — and despite everything, still choosing to trust that God is good even when it’s hard to believe it. This isn’t a song for those perfect days. It’s for the messy ones, waiting, the pruning seasons. Dawson doesn’t sugarcoat the struggle. “If my dreams all crumble // Will I sit here in the rumble?” That’s real! But instead of wallowing, He asks: “Will I find the hidden Beauty in the ruins?” Can I trust the One who prunes so my roots grow deeper? The chorus is a declaration, “I’ll keep on waiting. I’ll keep on trusting.” Why? Because God doesn’t just fix things — He makes them better than we e...
