Lyrics:

Head so heavy on the pillowcase
Eyes staring out the window pane
The harder that I try
The more I lose the fight

Think I'm fine then here it goes
What if's and scenarios
Betrayal by my mind
Feeling paralyzed

I'm hanging by a thread
Everything keeps running through my head
Can't stop the chaos around me
But I can surrender what's in me

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind
Oh, be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest

My rest

Try so hard just to make it work
Head down hands in the dirt
Carrying the weight
Hoping it's okay

Smile and try to cover my emotion
But I'm really drowning in an ocean
It won't go away
So I guess I'm not okay

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind
Be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest

My rest

Being scared isn't sinful
But God sometimes I'm forgetful
That You're right here in the middle
Father help me remember

Being scared isn't sinful
But God sometimes I'm forgetful
That You're right here in the middle
Father help me remember

That You want to carry this for me
This isn't the end of my story
Your love is forever restoring
Forever restoring

Yes You want to carry this for me
This isn't the end of my story
Your love is forever restoring
Forever restoring

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind

Be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest
My rest

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"One That Matters" by Marija Clara: Because Only One Voice Matters

The song "One That Matters" by Marija Clare was born in a sunlit home studio in Tegucigalpa. The song sounds like a celebration, but the story behind the song adds a deeper meaning to the lyrics. Marija Clara wrote this song after a miscarriage, and that contrast shapes the song’s message! Joy isn't denial of the facts. Joy is what comes after the facts... joy is healing in the presence of Jesus. In other words, the bright horns and Latin rhythms are not just for dancing, they’re a reminder that God can turn even the most raw grief into a place of renewal. In these lyrics, Marija names the pressure that you probably also feel around you: everyone watching, expecting you to achieve, you can't permit yourself to slow down. Instead of chasing every demand, she points us to the freedom of knowing that when we have Christ, everything else in our lives becomes secondary. Each line in the song circles back to this simple confession: He is the only One that matters, He resha...

"All Praise (Great Are You Lord)" by Aaron Goodhew: Remembering His Sacrifice, Embracing His Reign

Aaron Goodhew's song, "All Praise (Great Are You Lord)," is a reminder of the ultimate hope that fuels our faith. Aaron shares that the inspiration for this song came to him while studying Revelation, specifically chapter 7. He was moved to tears by the promise of believers surrounding God's throne for eternity, experiencing pure joy, and free from all suffering. Just look around you at all of the suffering around the world, as well as the suffering close to home. Realize that we're just seeing a glimpse of all the suffering that is happening.  There is hope! Aaron explains, "The hope of that future in Christ is the fuel that drives believers every day to lay down their lives in pursuit of Jesus." This song is written with the desire that it will stir people to lift their eyes from their current circumstances and look up to Him who is seated in all authority.  The song reminds us of Jesus walking "the road that we deserved," carrying "th...
