Today we are going to look at the song, "Breakthrough Miracle Moment" by Passion.  This particular song has continued to dwell in my mind more and more upon repeated listens.   It also has some unique lyrics and chord structures that make it stand out in today's worship music.    The odds are stacked against me I'm surrounded on all sides But I've heard you can part the waters So in your name come and turn the tide I'm staring at this mountain No chance I'm getting through But I've heard they can melt before You So in Your name I'm asking it to move This first verses begin by setting up the stage for a seemingly impossible obstacle to overcome.   Why are the odds stacked against us?   Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."   Or perhaps it is just a reminder to us as believers that we are faced against such opposition from the world that what kind of chance do we have to make it through difficulties we face...

 Today I wanted to look into a song that is not only rooted directly in Scripture, but also timeless in its message.   It is also a song that worship leaders can use to remind us all of our depravity and sin and helplessness apart from the kindness of God in Christ Jesus.   It also is a wonderful praise of thanksgiving to He who delivers us!  The song is, "Thanks Be to God", by Jon Foreman of the band Switchfoot.   It is a honest song and he takes the lyrics directly from Romans chapter 7 where the Apostle Paul is wrestling with understanding why he is not doing what he knows he should and is doing the very opposite.   I think everyone, everywhere can relate to this struggle and the chorus gives the worshippers a united focus of praise as, "Thanks be to God who delivers me!" Verse 1 I want to do good but I can't stay right The wrong in me came out tonight Waging war against the law of my mind I'm a wretched man in a losing fight The firs...

Today we are looking into the Theology of the song, "Who You are to Me" by Chris Tomlin  Some people think You're distant, just some words on a page                                                                                That You're nothing more than fables handed down along the way                                                                        B ut I've seen You part the waters when no one else could pull me from the deep                                                T hat's...

Today we will be sharing about the song, "The Goodness of God" by Bethel Music.   My hope and prayer for these blogs is not to focus on where they came from or what is behind the scenes but on the words themselves.   Do these lyrics adhere to biblical truths and is there enough soundness and depth in doctrine for worship leaders to use these songs to lead their congregations into His Word. This particular song I am sharing as we recently completed a study on the book of Titus, and shared about what the goodness of God is and how it is tied to good doctrine and good deeds. Verse 1 I love you Lord, for Your mercy never fails me All my days I've been held in Your hands From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head I will sing of the goodness of God The simplicity and hope found in this first verse certainly does lead worshippers into a desire to sing of the goodness of God. Why do we love the Lord?  Because His mercy never fails us.   Ephesians 2:4-5...
