There’s something so magical about the WOW! Girls’ rendition of ‘Country Roads,’ especially when you hear them singing it together in their small-town park. Their harmonies are absolutely breathtaking. It’s incredible how their voices intertwine, creating something that feels both fresh and familiar. As I listen, I’m reminded of the power of simple, heartfelt lyrics, like those in ‘Country Roads,’ that speak to all of us.
‘I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road, I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday’
The WOW! Girls make ‘Country Roads’ sound as if it was created yesterday instead of decades ago by John Denver. They transport us to a place where peace and the feeling of home intertwine. The way their voices blend together is truly unique, reminding us of the comfort we find in home and the deep connection we share with the places and people we love. There’s just something about going home that puts us all at ease. I can’t wait for the day we all get to go home–through the gates of heaven. The idea of coming home brings peace to our hearts.
Psalm 23:1-2 beautifully captures this peace we long for: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” These verses remind us that God, like a loving shepherd, is a place of rest where we can find comfort and rest. Just as the song reflects a yearning for home, God promises us His presence, where we can experience true peace—where we are loved and cared for.
Whether through music or through our faith, there is something incredibly powerful about finding that “home” where our hearts are at peace. Keep singing, girls—your voices remind us all of the beauty of home and the rest we can always find in God. What a beautiful picture of peace you create!
