RockSolid Life Tip #2: Give Yourself A Song

Sometimes you just need a song. A song to lift you up. A song to mark a moment. A song to help you gain understanding. A song to propel change.

Bono writes,

“Music can change the world because it can change people.”

Last year I had a song, "New Wine" that was on repeat. Might have listened to it

100+ times. I needed to know there was hope in the face of struggle. Struggle with purpose, struggle with career, struggle finding a new grove of parenting and marriage adding a 4th, struggle with dollars and cents, struggle all around.

The lyrics of the song start with:

In the crushing

In the pressing
You are making
New wine

Crushing and pressing grapes cannot feel good for the grape, but since 6000 BC new wine has

been formed because crushing and pressing of grapes has occurred. If you have a wine you love...think about the reality of long the process it takes to make a new vintage of wine.

The lyrics of the song end with:
Cause where there is new wine

There is new power

There is new freedom
And the kingdom is here
I lay down my old flames
To carry your new fire today (oh today)

I gave myself that song. Spent $1.29 to have it accessible to me at all times. I have

spent much more then $1.29 on professional help so i figured it was even a good deal as a yearly expense!

Then this new year came and I waited for a new song. I bounced around between a few and

friends sent me some of their suggestions, but nothing stuck until this past weekend and ended spending another $1.29 for 2019. Have already played it at least 10 times since. Cannot wait to see how God uses, Raising A Hallelujah, to help guide this year.

Do you have a song that helps you?
