Featured Themes & Lyrics
The EP centres on abiding, sanctification, and hope, drawing worshippers into dependence on God rather than self-effort.
“These songs remind us that holiness isn’t about rejecting God’s good gifts,” says Joel Auge, Crossroads Chief Growth Officer. “It’s about learning how to receive them—in His presence, and in His time.”
From The Well:
“Sanctify, sanctify,
My heart from the inside,
‘Till every affection is turned to You.”
So Much Better proclaims the surpassing worth of Christ over all that promises satisfaction, while While I Wait—inspired by Isaiah 40:31—offers language for trusting God in seasons of delay, pain, or uncertainty. Together, the songs form a worship response shaped by surrender and confidence in God’s presence.
