'Rest' by Hannah B. Johnson: Nurture your Soul, Find His Peace


Moments of respite are much sought-after in the rush of our daily lives, perhaps none more so than in the heart of a believer yearning for God's peace. This is the poignant story behind Hannah B. Johnson's beautiful song 'Rest.' 'Rest' became Hannah's prayer, born from an overwhelmed heart seeking tranquility in an increasingly noisy world—a prayer she now shares with us, two years later and after uprooting her life to move closer to her family in Nashville.

Hannah B. Johnson - Rest'Make it quiet in here,' the song's heartfelt lyrics say. 'Calm my raging fears. Help me hear Your voice above the endless noise.'— 'Rest' speaks to tired souls navigating life's noisy turmoil. It leads us to divine solace—God's reassuring presence, which, in His vastness, blankets us in silent calm, quells our fears, and quiets the clamor.

Hannah presents 'Rest' as a sanctifying hymn, a soothing antidote to life's hardships, with the humble invitation to dwell in God's holy presence, to trust and believe in Him with every fiber of our being. It captures our deepest longing, highlighting the transformative power of faith, the comfort of divine presence, and the hope that springs from our relationship with Him.

We wholeheartedly encourage everyone to immerse themselves in the profound simplicity and divine truth of 'Rest'. Allow it to nourish your soul, guide you to peace, and draw you closer to His never-failing divine presence.

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Thank God I’m Saved" by Chad Chaney: A Joyful Anthem for Life’s Valleys

Is the valley you’re in really permanent? Chad Chaney spent years as an actor in Hollywood, building his own kingdom. Then God called him to build a different one. In a quiet moment, one line landed: “Even when I’m in the valley, I won’t stay for long.” He wrote an entire song around it, “Thank God I’m Saved”. You may know that valley. Loneliness. Worry about next year. A voice that whispers that you’re worthless. Chad names those feelings in his lyrics: “Even when I’m feeling broken, You will make me whole.” He never pretends the valley isn’t real. He just refuses to unpack his bags there. Scripture sounds the same note. “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning” (Psalm 30:5). David wrote those words after God lifted him out of a dark season. The night was real. So was the morning, and David turned that into a song. What are you carrying around today that is blocking your joy? Hand it over to God. Chad says that God has brought him and his family out of seemi...

"A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" by Robby Robinson & Andrea Hammond: Stand Firm in His Victory

What fortress stands when everything else shakes? Martin Luther wrote “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” in a time of upheaval. Now Robby Robinson and Andrea Hammond have given this hymn a fresh voice, released just in time for Reformation Week. The arrangement begins softly with piano and a single violin. Then Andrea sings, and it builds into a joyful, uplifting orchestral arrangement with layered strings, piano, and Andrea’s soaring violin. That journey mirrors the faith that we all may find in the lyrics. “A mighty fortress is our God, a sword and shield victorious.” The song doesn’t start loud. It starts with trust, and trust in God is where strength begins. Where do you run when the pressure rises? Many of us reach for busyness, control, or even worry. They crumble. The hymn points to something much more sturdy: “He breaks the cruel oppressor’s rod and wins salvation glorious.” Whatever is binding you has already met its match… in God. Psalm 46:1 says it plainly: “God is our refuge ...
