Johan Skoog - Given By God - A donation to Ukraine (CCM)


Introducing 'Given By God - A donation to Ukraine', a powerful and emotive song by Johan Skoog. This song is not just any ordinary song, it is also a gift to the people of Ukraine, a country that has been through so much hardship and turmoil. Johan shares that the royalties from this song will be used to help the people of Ukraine, providing them with humanitarian aid and helping to rebuild their country.

Johan Skoog was inspired to write this song after seeing the plight of refugees who came to Sweden by boat. He wanted to do something extra to help, and he decided to donate the royalties to support Ukraine. The song is also a message of love and hope to the world. It reminds us that love is not something we should take for granted, it is something that should be cherished and treasured.

Johan Skoog - Given By God - A donation to Ukraine

Part of the lyrics that stayed in my head after listening to the song is: 'Love can be the wildest thing / It finds your deepest sin / But don’t you take for granted, no / Did you know it was given by God'

A final message from Johan Skoog

My name is Johan Skoog and I come from Älmhult in Sweden. The producer Martin Klaman, who has produced Kikki Danielsson and written songs for a lot of Swedish artists, also contributes his part as an arranger and producer. Were you interested in finding a collaboration for the song? Don't just think big when I say collaboration, it can be anything from just playing it once, passing it on to someone who might like it, or just listening to it yourself. The more it is used, the more money the song brings in.

"I'm Still Going to Praise You" by Die Taube: Choosing Praise in the Waiting

Can worship survive a season without answers?  Some seasons don’t resolve on schedule. “I’m Still Going to Praise You” by Die Taube ( ‘the dove’ ) was born from one of those seasons — infertility sitting alongside a father’s cancer diagnosis, disappointment stacking on disappointment. The song is part of an upcoming album, Pilgrimage, releasing one song per month until December. The album is a crossing, not a recovery, not getting back to who one was but coming through changed. The opening line of the song sets the whole tone: “Thank You has no seasons, worship does not wait.” God’s worthiness does not depend on our circumstances. Even when circumstances stay unresolved, we decide to look beyond our circumstances to praise and worship Him.  Notice what the second verse admits. “When I feel like I’ve got nothing and other times so much”  — our praises aren’t conditional on constant victory. The song is honest about fluctuating faith, and pairs it with a steady choice underneat...

"I Need God" by Richard Baś: Because Nothing Else Really Satisfies

Have you ever chased what you thought was peace and come up empty?  “I Need God” by Richard Baś is a song for people who keep searching and never find enough. Richard wanted a Christian song with energy and edge — something that causes listeners to experience certain emotions that are regularly not in the Christian genre. The song opens with restlessness: “These days I’m running from my own shadow,” he sings, “trying to find a peace of mind.” He tries love. He tries drugs. He tries more. Nothing changes. That’s the trap that so many of us already know. We chase one thing, then another, hoping the next thing will finally be enough… But it never really is.  There is a shift in the song. “Jesus has set me free and I, I am free now,” Richard declares. The running stops. The striving stops. Richard names it clearly: “Yeah I need God.”   The song echoes the same message that we read in Psalm 42:1–2: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My so...

"There Was Jesus" by Zach Williams and Dolly Parton: Finding Him in the Wreckage

Even in loss, Jesus was already there.  Dolly Parton passed away on August 25, 2026, at age 80, after a brief battle with cancer, surrounded by family in Nashville. For seven decades she sang about faith, poverty, grace, and home — and one of her earlier duets (with Zach Williams) carries a message that fits her passing perfectly. In “There Was Jesus,” Dolly Parton and Zach Williams trade verses about the moments we miss Him most: “Every time I tried to make it on my own // Every time I tried to stand and start to fall.” Life doesn’t wait for permission before it crashes down. “When the life I built came crashing to the ground // When the friends I had were nowhere to be found”  — that’s grief. That’s a hospital room, a phone call you dreaded, a silence where a voice used to be. That’s seeing great people passing away. Where was God in it? “I couldn’t see it then but I can see it now,” the song answers. “There was Jesus.”   Psalm 34:18 says it plainly: “The Lord is near to t...
