Pat Barrett Drops "Better Hands"


Pat Barrett's 'Better Hands' is a poignant contemporary Christian song that reflects the themes of surrender, trust, and divine guidance. The lyrics beautifully convey the struggle of trying to control one's own path and the realization that true security lies in entrusting everything to God's capable hands.

Pat Barrett - Better HandsThe opening lines emphasize the desire to avoid rushing ahead or relying on personal instincts, acknowledging the tendency to fall short when trying to forge one's own way. The chorus delivers a profound message of relinquishing control to God, recognizing that His plans are far superior.

The song's title, 'Better Hands,' encapsulates its central idea. It reassures us that our lives, plans, and aspirations are held in hands that are more capable and loving than our own. The repetition of 'This is in better hands than my own' reinforces this comforting truth.

Barrett's lyrics echo the biblical principle of building one's foundation on solid ground, comparing the choice of building on God's name to building on sand. This imagery underscores the significance of placing trust in the only name worthy of such devotion.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
