There are songs that stir the heart, and there are songs that gently bring us back to the centre of our faith. For me, one of those songs is โ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆโ.
In a world that constantly competes for our attention, affection, and allegiance, this beautiful song declares a simple but profound truth: ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ฉ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฑ, ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ข๐ช๐ด๐ฆ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ.
The words echo the message found throughout Scripture:
๐บ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก๐๐ โ๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐กโ๐ โ๐๐โ๐๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ โ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ก ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐, ๐กโ๐๐ก ๐๐ก ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ โ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐คโฆ

As band members, it can be easy to focus on notes, technique, rehearsals, and performances. Yet our music has a much greater purpose. Every rehearsal, every act of service, and every note played is an opportunity to lift hearts, and point people towards Christ.
The song reminds us that one day all earthly achievements and honours will fade, but Godโs glory remains forever. He is the source of our strength, the reason for our service, and the focus of our worship.
Today, let us pause and reflect:
- Is God truly at the centre of all I do?
- Does my life bring glory to Him?
- Am I using the gifts He has given me to point others towards His love?
May our prayer be that through our music, our fellowship, and our daily lives, others will see not us, but the Lord whom we serve.
