A Brief History and More Explanation

Yona Marie delves into the rich history and meaning behind this beloved spiritual in her blog post (https://yonamariemusic.com/yona/blog/249/the-meanings-behind-wade-in-the-water). This song's composer is unknown and will most likely remain so. As W. E. B. Du Bois put it, 'Sorrow Songs' were one of slavery's greatest gifts.

The Jordan River is associated with themes of liberation, breakthrough, and deliverance, as explored by Howard Thurman, a renowned dean at HBCU Howard University. He defined troubled waters as transformative moments - life's vicissitudes that contain healing waters because God is present.

To navigate troubled waters, one must have confidence and faith in God's plan. Even when the journey appears to be difficult, it is critical to lean into the waters and trust God to lead us to the Promised Land.

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility.
