Tender Shepherd by Kristi Hepp: Embracing the Unchanging Love of Christ


A lot of people go through moments when the weight of life's burdens feels unbearable. In these moments, we are reminded of our need for a divine comforting embrace. Kristi Hepp's new song, 'Tender Shepherd,' tackles this longing and invites us to experience comfort in a way that only Christ can give us.

Kristi Hepp - Tender ShepherdKristi's song was inspired by Dane Ortlund's book 'Gentle & Lowly'. The song is an outpouring of Kristi's heart and shows how she came to understand the manner in which Christ loving sees each of us as we are struggling, falling down, and getting back up again. 'Tender Shepherd' came from a time of painful loss and offers a raw, organic, and relatable reflection on everyday life.

As the lyrics of this heartwarming song unfold, we find ourselves being drawn closer to the heart of our Tender Shepherd, who is not only our Healer but also the One who willingly gave His life for each of us. The lyrics encourage us to find comfort in the Father's good hands, reminding us that even though our dreams can be shattered and our hope can fade, it is God's love that endures.

Do not lose hope. Instead, fall into Christ's loving arms, loving arms that will gently lead us. Give 'Tender Shepherd' a listen and allow its message to lift your spirits and strengthen your faith. Realize that no matter what challenges life sends your way, you can always find comfort in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:1-3; Matthew 11:28-30; Isaiah 40:11)

"Faith Like Daniel" by Marlee Smith: Praising God When the World Says No

Who do you trust when everyone disagrees? What do you do when the world says that your God doesn’t matter? Marlee Smith’s energetic pop-rock song, “Faith Like Daniel,” comes with an all-teenage female band behind her, and her response to what the world says is anything but timid. When the world feels overturned, she’ll keep “praising my Father,” even when the world says she shouldn’t. Remember what we read in the Bible about Daniel? Daniel knew that pressure. A royal decree banned prayer to anyone but the king for a period of thirty days. Daniel heard the news, went home, opened his windows, and prayed as he always had. No speeches. No protest. Just steady faith, three times a day. Then came the lions, and what happened that night in the den became a testimony. Scripture says, “No kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Daniel 6:23). Daniel never trusted that his circumstances would be easy. He trusted the One who stood over them. Marlee’s message carries t...

"Holy Vessel" by Paul Scala: Your Body Is a Temple Worth Guarding

Your body is holy. Live like it. Paul Scala felt the Lord press on his heart to write about a struggle that touches almost everyone, but only a few people actually name it out loud. So he wrote “Holy Vessel” in the voice of God Himself. Not as a lecture. There’s no finger-pointing. Just a Father who is speaking to His children. Listen to how the song opens: “Son, please know that, you were bought with a great price.” Then the lyrics turn to the daughters: “I see you, not in shame but as My bride.” Shame has no seat at this table. Why does that matter? Lust leads to sin, and “sin ain’t worth your soul” . This lust leads to shame, and shame keeps people stuck. Condemnation sends us hiding, while love sends us running. This song reminds us of God’s unwavering love and His desire to restore, redeem, and make us new… especially when we have stumbled or fallen. Paul builds the song on a question: “How’s a holy vessel supposed to live, like it ain’t holy at all?” The song echoes the messag...

"You Know That I Love You" by David Bollmann: Love That Answers Failure with Mercy

Jesus meets your failure with mercy, not rejection. Peter once promised that he’d never leave. And before a rooster crowed, he’d denied Jesus three times. Have you ever failed at the very thing you swore you’d never fail at? David Bollmann’s third single, “You Know That I Love You”, begins with a promise much like Peter’s: “Others may deny You, I won’t.” The song draws on John 21, where the risen Jesus meets Peter on a beach. He doesn’t scold Peter. He asks him one question, three times over, and Peter, hurt but honest, answers: “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Peter brings no excuses and no résumé. Only his (imperfect) love, offered with empty hands. The lyrics echo that same longing: “There’s gotta be something I can give You, some cross I can bear too.” We too may feel the desire to repay Jesus for what He has done. But can we? Never! He holds us and will “never cast a stone.” So what do we bring? The truth. Tell Jesus, as honestly as you can, where you faile...
