Rend Collective Experiment – Second Chance

Some days our hearts can be heavy with the weight of our pasts. That old baggage that we can’t seem to shake off. Jesus never gives up on us. He is the King of second chances. However your day (or your life) seems to be panning out, remember: God’s mercies are new every morning. Lamentations 3: 22-23

Bethel – I’ve found a love

Something is missing in your life. Something untangible, you can’t put your finger on it. A silent, unexplained emptiness and a sense of being lacklustre. What you need is some soulfood: God’s love. He’s waiting if you’re ready.

tobyMac – Me Without You

Ever felt like you don’t know where you are heading? God provides you with direction. Listening to Him means your actions start to make sense, because He sees the bigger picture. Where are you without Him?

I’d be packin’ my bags when I need to stay, I’d be chasin’ every breeze that blows my way…

Casting Crowns

I’m listening to a lot of Casting Crowns at the moment.  I really love their driving sound and heartfelt biblical lyrics to their songs.  It’s difficult to pick out any favourites but I’m going to highlight two songs in particular.

Courageous is an anthem for the modern Christian man and I think it is particularly apt for where we are as a church at present – seeking to engage in meaningful outreach that makes an impact on people in our communities.

Just another birthday is a heart-rending song that brings me close to tears listening to it.

I can definitely recommend you get more Casting Crowns in your life!

Gwen Smith: Broken into Beautiful

One of the best things about being a Christian is the positive transformation that appears in your life (if you choose to accept it). Gwen’s song expresses this transformation: God turns worthless into precious, hungry into satisfied, broken into beautiful. This song highlights the sense of weariness felt when you do everything in your own strength; in contrast, accepting that you need God in your life permits Him to step in and change things. Which definitely takes the pressure off…

Sanctus Real: Whatever You’re Doing

This week my recommended track is by Sanctus Real. They sing the lyrics from the heart, and I think the words describe where we all find ourselves when we contemplate  changing our lives to walk a more Christian walk.  We don’t always understand it, but we just have to go with the flow sometimes.  This can be a very personal anthem – I hope you find it cathartic.
