Sarah Kroger, Nathan Jess - Belovedness - Live (CCM)


Are you tired of feeling inadequate and alone in your struggles? Have a look at Sarah Kroger's 'Belovedness,' a powerful ballad that reminds us of our worth as children of God.

Initially released on Kroger's sophomore album, 'Light,' during the peak of a global healthcare crisis, 'Belovedness' quickly found a following among those battling mental health challenges. The revisited live version, recorded in a barn-turned-studio in the UK countryside, offers a sweet, intimate take on the song, featuring Northern Irish singer-songwriter Nathan Jess on vocals.

Sarah Kroger, Nathan Jess - Belovedness - LiveKroger wrote the song during a period of personal growth, as she discovered the truth of her identity through reading Henri Nouwen's 'Life of The Beloved.' The lyrics remind us to let go of our past mistakes and the lies we've been told, and to embrace the truth of our belovedness.

This song is not only for the Christian community, it is also for anyone struggling with their identity, looking for a message of healing and hope. 'Belovedness' is a safe place to land and unwind, as Kroger concludes, 'This is who we are, and it’s literally an instruction: be loved.' So take a listen and be reminded of the love and acceptance that awaits you in the arms of our Father.

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"New Jerusalem" by whispering HOPE: When Heaven Comes Down to Heal Everything

whispering HOPE's New Jerusalem follows Revelation 21 and 22. After the final judgment has cleared the stage, God unveils a new heaven and a new earth, where the New Jerusalem descends like a bride. "Behold the New Jerusalem bright, descending robed in holy light."   "Then I saw heaven and earth made new," creation is healed, the old order gone, tears wiped away, and grief finally finished. Our hope is concrete, written down, and rooted in God's faithful reign.  The second verse is about the city's strength and welcome, with gates and foundations that echo the apostles, yet no temple at all, because God and the Lamb are the center. No sun is needed, because Christ lights up every street. The gates stay open; mercy welcomes the nations.  The bridge of the song celebrates the restored Eden: a clear river, the tree of life, healing, and servants who see God's face.  Key scriptures emphasized in the lyrics of this song are:  Revelation 21:1–2: I saw a n...

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...
