Clayton Hackett - Believe ("... musical gem waiting to be discovered by the larger public...")




Just over a year ago, Clayton Hackett released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Believe. Last November Clayton released his second song called Move On. While listening to "Believe", enjoying the quality of the music and the lyrics, we were researching Clayton when it struck us that Clayton is quite new. His songs are a musical gem that is waiting to be discovered by the larger public. So to many of our followers, this is going to be a new discovery.
We looked closely at Clayton's Facebook page and have the impression that Clayton is currently around 17/18 years old. Keep that in mind when you listen to Believe... and I trust that you will agree that Clayton is a high potential young musician.

After playing drums for 9 years, Clayton Hackett started producing music at the age of 14. Many years of playing around went by and his love for composing and producing music grew into a full blown commitment to offer the world inspiration and encouragement for any season in life! Clayton believes that no one should be alone in this world. He believes that isolation is the plan of the enemy and he wants his music to be a place where people can relate and be encouraged no matter where they are at.

The world is full of people looking for ways and people to express themselves to and with. Clayton explains music for him as an amazing gift from God. He describes it as a place where he can express how he feels in any season of life. Whether he’s in a place of discouragement or overwhelming excitement he says his passion is to convert those feelings into lyrics and melodies. His hope is that anyone who listens to his music can relate to him and realize that they are not the only ones going through what there going through. Clayton has released two songs called Believe and Move On. With only two songs released so far, he has high hopes for this year. He is excited for the amazing music God will bring this year in 2020!

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Ebenezer" by David Dowdell: Faithful Before, Faithful Now, Faithful Forever

Looking back builds the courage to keep moving forward.  Samuel once set up a stone after a battle and named it Ebenezer, saying, “Till now the Lord has helped us.” That single stone became a marker, a physical reminder planted in the ground so nobody could walk past it and forget what God had done. “Ebenezer” by David Dowdell borrows that same idea. “Here I raise my Ebenezer, only by your help I’ve come,” the lyrics declare, and that line carries generations of gratitude.  Think about your own life for a moment. Where have you seen God show up? Maybe it was a financial provision you can’t fully explain, or a battle against sin you thought you’d never win. The song declares: “You’ve brought me victory in the battle against sin and self-defeat.” That’s a testimony, the kind worth remembering on your hardest days. Your Ebenezer.  Here’s why remembering matters so much. Psalm 77:11 says, “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.” Y...

"Impossible Is Possible" by Noah Samuel: Ten Years In the Making, One Moment of Proof

Is anything truly too difficult for God? A single song can take a decade to finish. Noah Samuel wrote the first part of “Impossible Is Possible” on December 3rd, 2016, in the thick of a family crisis he doesn’t detail — some pains are only shared with God. The rest arrived nearly ten years later, on February 23rd, 2025, while Noah stood at the altar singing to what he calls “the God of possibilities.” Two moments, separated by a decade of unknowns, became one song. That gap is just as much a part of the song’s message as the lyrics. The lyrics don’t waste words: “You set my feet upon the solid rock. You raise my head from the deep miry clay.” Anyone who has waited years for an answer knows that clay. It sticks on you. It pulls you under slowly, not all at once. Yet the chorus refuses to stay stuck there: “Impossible is possible. The impossible is possible with You.” That confidence isn’t wishful thinking. Jeremiah 32:27 quotes God: “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is any...
