It’s important to remind our family of believers (as well as ourselves) that our great God offers us peace – peace that surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:7). “Anchor Of Peace” by North Point InsideOut, reminds us that Jesus is the Prince of Peace. We can always turn to Him, even when it feels like we’re at the end of the rope. He will surround us with His peace. “You keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD God is an everlasting rock.” (Isaiah 26:3-4)

Nothing teaches you more about songwriting than the experience itself. I’ve often said the process feels like turning on a rusty faucet. It takes a lot of work to turn at first, but after several rotations, things seem to really open up and flow. Then the flow is hard to stop! And while the practice itself is key, I’ve found something else that I think can help.

Often our problems feel so big and our challenges feel too overwhelming. That’s why we often need to remind ourselves and our congregation that no problem is too big for God. Here’s a brand new song from Cross Point Music that proclaims that truth, called, “Watch What He Will Do,” written by Mike Grayson, Zach Kale & Krissy Nordhoff.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17

“Lamb of God” (written by Taylor Agan, Justin Tweito & Ben Wolverton) is a powerful reminder of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus Christ made in our place. His finished work on the cross redeems us. What a great truth to sing about with your congregation!

If you’ve been looking for a great service opener, “Eternal King” is a great option! It’s a very congregational song that focuses our gaze on Christ, our King, who sits on the throne. It helps remind us to have a heavenly perspective in the midst of what life throws at us, and declare that Christ is King!
