'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.

(Related scripture: Matthew 9:20-22; Psalm 16:11; John 20:29)

"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....

"Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller: A Tender Tribute to a Loyal Friend

Beneath this gentle Americana-style song, "Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller, is the heartbreak of a seven-year-old boy. The day his grandson had to say goodbye to his dog, Tucker, he asked Stephen, "Will you write a song for Tucker? Can we pretend he's still around?" How can you not say "Yes" to such a request?  This song offers comfort by simply being honest. Instead of dramatizing the grief, the message sits with it and invites the listener to reflect as well. It's lines like "Sing the song to Tucker, sing to all dogs gone away" that remind us that precious memories endure. Have you ever asked yourself how to comfort a grieving child? I know that these situations often remind me that we're all searching for hope after more than one loss! On top of that, how can you extend that hope to a grieving child? Even in situations like the loss of a dear four-legged pet, there is a message of faith to be found: "Sing to God, the...
