'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.

"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....

'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...

"Come Let Us Go" by NARROWAY: Journey to the Mountain of Light

It's difficult to imagine that there will be a day when all nations are tired of the chaos and finally ask, "Where do we go from here?" The answer to that question is the theme of NARROWAY's "Come, Let Us Go." The lyrics are inspired by Isaiah 2 and Micah 4, and look forward to "… the days that are coming, the mountain will rise // Lifted above all the nations and skies // People will gather from near and far // Saying, "Let's go to where His teachings are." As we observe the chaos in the world, the wars, and the rumor of wars, it's hard to imagine that "Swords turned to plows, war fades away // Shalom will reign in Yah's good way." Believe it or not, there will be a day with "No more fear, no more fight // Just His Torah shining bright." But the key message of this song isn't a distant promise! The lyrics pull us to the here and now… our present reality. The reality is that God's Kingdom is stepping on...
