On Worship Wednesdays, we meet here to share worship songs or whatever God is teaching us about worship. We invite you to join with us! This series originally happened as Tune-In Tuesdays… and was changed in May 2012. You will find all of our worship posts on this page.
Beautiful God laying Your majesty aside. You reached out in love to show me life. Lifted from darkness into light. Yes. This is my most recent I-can’t-stop-listening-to-it song. Like An Avalanche by Hillsong United. King for a slave, trading your righteousness for shame… despite all my PRIDE and FOOLISH WAYS. Caught in Your infinite embrace. Praise God. And I find myself here on my knees again, caught up in grace like an avalanche. Nothing compares to this love, love, love… burning in my heart. Each time I sing...
read moreOf all the incredible worship music that came from Passion 2013, this one may just be my favorite. I love Christy Nockels’ voice, and I also love it when songwriters combine new stuff with old stuff. My Delight Is In You w/ Refiner’s Fire is a song all about finding the peace God brings when we delight in Him, when we let Him refine us, when we ask Him to draw us close, when we choose to be holy and set apart. I’m thankful that at any given time, I can turn my delight to its rightful place and allow His love and refining...
read moreI’ve been captivated by a lot lately. Mostly by me. Drawing my attention lately have been things and people that, yet again, I allow to try to fill that hole… the hole that can only be filled by the One who deserves our captivation. I’ve been doing a lot FOR God. Being captivated by things FOR Him. We can get so caught up in trying to do what it takes to draw others to Him that we forget how much we need to draw to Him ourselves. I love Pandora. It brings me songs I’ve never heard. And as normally happens when I run,...
read moreI haven’t been writing lately… and it’s really hit me that writing is how I process life and how I pour out my soul. Writing is healing and fulfilling for me. That being said, hopefully you will begin seeing more posts here again. It’s definitely been a while since we’ve had a Worship Wednesday, so today seemed like a good day to start back. The past few weeks have been an incredible mix of emotions in my life and in the lives of others around me. This song, Lord I Need You, has been a constant reminder of how...
read moreThere are days when the only thing that can comfort my heart is a God-placed song. I believe He orchestrates all things, and I believe He gave a few songwriters some exact words… at this exact time in history… knowing the pain that would be happening in the world. Today, I want to share two of these songs, knowing they can’t take away the pain that many people are feeling, but knowing that they may help bring a little comfort… a little hope… a little strength.

read moreSince Highlands Worship’s new CD was released, it is basically all I listen to. So today, I’m sharing another song that is quickly becoming one of my favorite private worship songs… It’s called Close to You. A very simple, repetitive song, but one with a very profound message. One of the debates in the worship wars is repetition in modern worship songs versus the depth of hymns. I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, but just to share a bit of my heart, here is my answer to anyone who asks me about this: Even...
read moreSo I still haven’t written about the GROW conference. In fact, I haven’t been writing a lot lately… and my heart feels it. Hopefully you will see posts more often from me… soon. Today’s song is another share from the conference. I’ve been anxiously awaiting (seriously) the release of Highlands Worship’s new CD, Place of Freedom. Well, it came out today. And I can FINALLY share this amazing song that was my second favorite song from the conference (second only to Great I Am). The song is the title...
read moreYou may not have heard of Aaron Keyes, but I love the way he arranges worship songs. This particular combination of songs is my favorite of all of his stuff. The two songs flow together easily and work so well together. Because we can sing “It is well with my soul,” it’s easy to just start singing about how glad He has made us. Listen below. If you are viewing in an email, you can listen by clicking on this link: It Is Well/Made Me Glad. (It’s titled incorrectly on youtube, but don’t worry it’s the correct...
read moreThe busyness and the thoughts of the day flood my mind, controlling every part of my being. Such a spiritual battle wages in my head. Pride, bitterness, selfish ambition… they try to paralyze me again. Will I turn back to my comfort, the only way I’ve known? Will I let it all become about M-E… again? Or will I cling to You and push through… remembering that I am nothing without Y-O-U? Will I become still before you… letting you fill my thoughts? Oh, Father, the mental strain of this day has pushed my finite mind to the...
read moreDo you live confidently, knowing that you are covered in God’s love? This is a way we show our true worship. I believe that often we forget our full coverage. We forget that His love never runs out on us. It’s easy to remember when life is good. But when bad things happen, we lose sight of the unconditional, unstoppable, indescribable love that covers us. But God wants us to live trusting that He is in control and that He’s got it all taken care of. If you haven’t listened to Passion’s latest CD (or ANY Passion...
