'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.

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"the cost (given for us)" by HOMECOMING: Feeling the Weight of Grace

HOMECOMING's "the cost (given for us)" looks at the weight of what Jesus gave up to save humanity. The backstory that HOMECOMING wrote this song after talking about how easy it is to say "Jesus died for me" without really thinking about what that means. Like, what did it actually cost Him? Their approach wasn't to create another "thank You" song, but a song that invites us to slow down and truly feel the sacrifice He made. His sacrifice wasn't just a painful moment on a cross. It was everything. He gave up heaven. He was rejected, betrayed, beaten… and He still chose the cross for us. That kind of love doesn't make sense. But it's real. The lyrics give words to the awe we feel: "You took my place // How can it be // By your grace I'm saved." And lines like "Your blood washed me clean" and "By your stripes I'm healed" remind us of the freedom and healing that He paid for. Then comes the part that ...

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common: Letting Go of People-Pleasing for Good

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common is an interesting song that was born out of this duo's struggles with wanting to please people and the pressure they felt to perform. The song reminds us to stop chasing others for their approval and start chasing Jesus instead. "I'm so done tryna be someone else just to keep people's attention," they sing. It can be very exhausting to constantly pretend and perform. The song reminds us to keep our hearts and lives centered on Jesus—the only one who truly is worthy of being our role model. Not for applause. Not for attention. But because His way is the only one that brings real peace and fulfillment in our lives.  The need to please others and perform is probably a feeling that many of us know all too well — but it doesn't have to define us.  The lyrics of the song put the issue right there on the table: "Who am I tryna be, who am I tryna please? That's the question." And the answer? Ofcourse, Jesus i...
