'Always Been You' by Jonathan Bacarella - Charting a Course Through Life’s Stormy Seas


Jonathan Bacarella's heartfelt melody 'Always Been You' originates from the intimate passage of Psalm 139:2. This deeply moving anthem is inspired by a traumatic experience in his life around the birth of his son Milo. In the middle of an emotional raging storm of fear and uncertainty, Bacarella found comfort in the reassuring realization that, in good and bad times, God's tender hand guides us on our life's journey.

Jonathan Bacarella - Always Been You'Always Been You' is a testament to God's infinite power - He who perceives our thoughts from afar, the One who is our rock, our sword, and our shield. The song is a gentle reminder that when we are downcast or uplifted, in calm waters or stormy seas, at the beginning or end of our lives, we have never been left alone... he was by our side.

Bacarella plants a seed of hope, to find peace in God's solemn gaze and transformative love. The lyrics 'Come take me closer, deeper into your arms of grace' ring true, inviting listeners to dive into the ocean of God's merciful grace.

Begin your journey with 'Always Been You'. Allow the soul-stirring lyrics to carry you through the ups and downs of life and faith, ultimately anchoring you in God's unwavering presence.

(Related scripture: Psalm 139:2; Psalm 18:2; Hebrews 4:16)

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...

"Gentle" by Andrew Macdonald: Finding Grace in Life's Hardest Moments

(by Jasper Tan) Have you heard of any heartfelt song lately that elaborates on the pain, yet the yearning for healing feels so heart-wrenching? Andrew Macdonald's latest song, "Gentle," feels just like that. In what seems like a conversational piece with someone, the song actually is a prayer yearning for God's grace and healing. The lush sound of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the heartfelt delivery of the vocals, delivers a certain kind of sincerity wherein Andrew pours his heart out to Jesus. It is very seldom to hear songs wherein the singer cuts through our emotions just enough for us to feel an affinity to his pleas. And Andrew's outreach for help through prayer is something that really cuts through our own pains when we are in those moments of vulnerability while we deal with our own issues. Though the song starts off as a sad song and the lines that are delivered feel so gloomy and hopeless, the song makes a stark change for the better when it starts to...
