Ileen Laura - I Am Yours
Ileen Laura has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called I Am Yours.

Toronto-Based Christian Artist Ileen Laura Shakes Off Anxiety and Self-Doubt In Uplifting, Affirming New Single “I Am Yours”

Self-doubt at times is inevitable, but when someone struggles with anxiety it can become chronic and amplified. Christian artist Ileen Laura, having experienced that anxiety firsthand, sings an upbeat, uplifting prayer of and for confidence in her soaring, harmony-filled new single “I Am Yours” – available now – from her forthcoming album of the same name, set for release this Spring.

“I am someone who has struggled with anxiety ever since I was a little girl,” Laura said. “My friends know me as a ‘worrywart’ and I am in a constant battle with myself over self-doubt. I wrote “I Am Yours” about this struggle, a little reminder to set aside the opinions of others and focus on the one opinion that matters, God’s.”

The song begins with tinkling piano, and strings that build just the right amount of drama. With her signature crystalline, beautifully lilting voice, Laura narrates the story of being at a low point, mired in feelings of depression and shame:

I’ve taken the longer road to get here
I’m down on my knees I’m singing a prayer
And oh those days that I felt that I couldn’t measure up
And oh those days that I felt that forever wasn’t enough

The chorus starts with a resolute “Well, I am yours!,” and then cue in some gorgeous backing vocals that morph into a journey of harmonies – from soothing “Oooohhs” to sophisticated, intricate layering – all punctuated by elegant string and trumpet accents, driven by an infectious beat.

Recorded at Robeter Productions in Woodbridge, Ontario, and produced by Peter Wellington and Robby Riggs, “I Am Yours” was inspired by the Bible verse 1 Peter 5:7 -- Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. The soar to the song was wholly intentional.

“Peter and I wanted the music to sound upbeat and uplifting because after all, the thought of stripping away our anxieties, self-doubt and fears, while choosing to live in freedom with Jesus by our side is liberating and should be shouted from the rooftops,” Laura said.

A passionate mother of two, wife, and believer in Christ, Ileen Laura is a singer and songwriter who thrives on creating powerful and moving Christian music inspired by her deeply meaningful life experiences. Her previous single “Sit Beside Me” dealt with the shifting of responsibilities she and her husband undertook to re-prioritize her music career, ultimately bringing them closer. In 2010, she released the full-length album Mindful Conversations. She has opened for Walk Off The Earth and Justin Nozuka, and has performed at the Scene Music Festival. She is excitedly anticipating the release of her second album.


Lyrics:

I Am Yours
I’ve taken the longer road to get here,
I’m down on my knees I’m singing a prayer,
And oh those days that I felt that I couldn’t measure up,
And oh those days that I felt that forever wasn’t enough,
Well I am yours!
I am yours,
Lord lead me
I am yours,
Breathe in me
I’ve wasted my time on finding the words,
I find what I need as I read out each verse,
And oh those days that I felt I couldn’t measure up,
And oh those days that I felt that I couldn’t fill my cup,
Lord lead me to see in the right direction,
Lord help me to stand in my convictions,
And when the walls are tall and I cannot break them down,
Speak through me to the world so they all come tumbling down,
'Cause I am yours!
I am yours,
Lord lead me,
I am yours,
Breathe in me,
I am yours,
Speak through me,
I am yours!
I lift up my hands oh God,
I lay out my deepest scars oh,
I trust you hold me in your arms,
Father find me and remind me that I,
I am yours!
I am yours,
Lord lead me,
I am yours,
Breathe in me,
I am yours,
Speak through me,
I am yours,
Lord lead me,
I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours!

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...

"Consider the Lilies" by Madison Earl: A Gentle Call to Trade Worry for Trust

Who carries your worries when they feel too heavy? Arizona worship leader Madison Earl wrote “Consider the Lilies” for anyone who has lain awake worrying about tomorrow’s problems. It is the third of four original songs she plans to release in 2026. The message for this song is inspired by Matthew 6:26–34. Madison’s hope is that listeners remember that “they don’t have to carry everything on their own.” The chorus asks the questions we all ask. “What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?” Your questions may also be about an increase in rent, unpaid bills, test results, a difficult boss, a wayward child, and more… all of those questions fit. Then comes the answer: “He’s always there.” Jesus made the same point when He was sitting on a hillside. He told his listeners, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” Then he asked, “Are you not of more value than they?” Ask yourself that same questio...
