'Garden Hope' by Kristi Hepp - A Healing Melody Echoing Divine Promises


The title track of Kristi Hepp's newest album, 'In Between the Gardens,' is called 'Garden Hope.' It guides the wandering hearts and keeps them rooted in God's promises. It sings out to those who have grown weary on their earthly pilgrimage, offering an empathetic shoulder and a gentle reminder of our heavenly home.

Kristi Hepp - Garden HopeThe song echoes the yearning we all experience in our lives: being in the 'in between,' a place of longing. We are often 'tangled in this sorrow,' but 'Garden Hope' makes us feel better by mixing the bitter and the sweet and telling us that our pain will end.

Kristi's lyrics are full of strong emotions: where the rough current of sadness is mixed with the gentle stream of hope. The refrain, 'This world is not my home,' is a strong reminder that sparks hope and breaks through our sadness.

This promise keeps coming back to us: 'You will wipe every tear from our eyes / And death will be no more, death will be no more' These beautiful words carry a taste of the divine. They give us comfort by reminding us that even in our darkest hours, even when we feel devastated, we are not forgotten or abandoned.

'Garden Hope' is more than just a song; it's Kristi's hand reaching out to us, guiding us to heavenly comfort. The song encourages us to trust the journey, pay close attention, and let the music show us that there is light beyond what we can see. That is the invitation of 'Garden Hope'. Listen, accept the invitation, put your faith in God, and your tears will be wiped away.

(Related scripture: Revelation 21:4; Hebrews 13:14; John 16:33)

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...

"Gentle" by Andrew Macdonald: Finding Grace in Life's Hardest Moments

(by Jasper Tan) Have you heard of any heartfelt song lately that elaborates on the pain, yet the yearning for healing feels so heart-wrenching? Andrew Macdonald's latest song, "Gentle," feels just like that. In what seems like a conversational piece with someone, the song actually is a prayer yearning for God's grace and healing. The lush sound of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the heartfelt delivery of the vocals, delivers a certain kind of sincerity wherein Andrew pours his heart out to Jesus. It is very seldom to hear songs wherein the singer cuts through our emotions just enough for us to feel an affinity to his pleas. And Andrew's outreach for help through prayer is something that really cuts through our own pains when we are in those moments of vulnerability while we deal with our own issues. Though the song starts off as a sad song and the lines that are delivered feel so gloomy and hopeless, the song makes a stark change for the better when it starts to...
