Amanda Joy Powell - Lay Your Burdens Down (CCM)


Amanda Joy Powell's song 'Lay Your Burdens Down' is a heartfelt and moving plea to those who may be struggling with difficult emotions or circumstances. The song's lyrics are a reminder that we don't have to carry our burdens alone, and that we can find hope and freedom in Jesus.

Powell's inspiration for the song came from a powerful encounter with a woman consumed with anger and bitterness, who was struggling to let go of her burden. Amanda shares: 'The day before writing this song, I had just been talking with a woman who was consumed with anger, resentment, and bitterness; and she wasn’t ready to let go of it. Her burden had become such a part of her that she was more comfortable carrying it around with her than laying it down at the foot of the cross. I remember leaving that situation and just crying for HOURS! Praying on her behalf that God would help her to let go, and to forgive, so her healing could start. My heart was shattered for her. As I was laying down my burden for this lady and giving this concern to the Lord, I sat at the piano and poured out EVERYTHING I was thinking and feeling at that moment.' This experience led Amanda to create this beautiful song, 'Lay Your Burdens Down.'

If you're feeling weighed down by life's challenges, 'Lay Your Burdens Down' is a must-listen. It's a beautiful reminder that we don't have to go through life alone and that God is always there for us, ready to help us carry our burdens and find freedom in Him.

'Love Might Not Wait' by Jeff H. Ulrich - A Melodic Invitation to Embrace Divine Redemption

I hear echoes of sacred scripture in Jeff H. Ulrich's 'Love Might Not Wait,' rekindling our connection to the divine and calling our hearts toward eternal love. This song is an enthralling testament to God's love and the promise of His soon return. This song is a call to timely repentance set against timely observations of a world that sees good as evil and light as darkness. Ulrich's lyrics gently implore us: 'Are you captive in time to a world of no meaning? But there is the love that liberates.' It emphasizes God's love as the ultimate liberator, and a beacon calling out to all souls. It's a reminder, like a plea from a kindred spirit, that we are not abandoned to darkness, but are the intended recipients of divine love that gave His Son for us. His love is not an abstract concept; rather, it is a gift steeped in profound sacrifice, as demonstrated by Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Listening to 'Love Might Not Wait' is like being on the
