'Hem' by John Long: Profound Act of Faith Transformed into Poetic Harmony


John Long's 'Hem,' steeped in scripture and motivated by steadfast faith in the face of hardship, is a powerful tribute to the life-changing power of true belief. As believers, it challenges us to ask ourselves, 'If we met Jesus today, would we go forward in faith in the middle of life's bustling crowd?'

John Long - HemThe song captures the magnificent story of Christ's interaction with the lady who, despite her condition, had faith so strong that a touch of Jesus' garment healed her. 'Hem' is a soul-stirring spiritual journey that invites us to think closely about our faith and how it unfolds in our lives.

The song's powerful lyrics poke the heart, showing the path to surrender and beyond fear. It tries to awaken the believer's desire to break down all self-imposed boundaries and reach out to the ultimate source of peace—Jesus Himself.

Highlighted in the anthem of 'Hem' is the real choice we have: to surrender our fears, to invite God to engulf our being and reveal His divine glory as our ultimate joy. The song raises the question that each of us must answer: Can we put aside all of our doubts and reach for the hem of His garment?

Allow your spirit to be welcomed and your faith to be recharged. Listen to 'Hem' by John Long for spiritual harmony and embark on a deep voyage of divine connection.

"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...

"Temptation" by Dax: Fighting Spiritual Warfare Through Faith and Prayer

Have you ever felt like the battle against temptation is relentless? In his powerful track "Temptation," Dax reminds us that every moment of resistance is a victory. He doesn't shy away from the reality that "temptations outside, knocking at my door." Instead of hiding the struggle, he exposes it. He admits that while he "won the battle last night," the war continues. In other words, spiritual discipline is a daily choice. Dax explains that temptation finds safety in an "idle mind" and when we lack purpose. But most of all, he offers a strategy for triumph: "starve my flesh, then feed my spirit with faith." So, why trade your peace of mind for fleeting pleasure? The lyrics trace our struggles back to the garden and "Adam and Eve," and also point us toward redemption.  "Down by the Riverbend // in the garden, where the snake tempted Adam and Eve, // they ate the fruit and from those seeds // grew the roots of this ...

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...
