'Back When We Were Young' by Will Brown: Rediscover Childlike Faith


Will Brown's 'Back When We Were Young' encourages us to embrace a child-like faith whenever we face one of life's storms. Will wrote this song when he felt vulnerable and was suffering. It's a story many of us can relate to: the challenge of growing up, the grief of losing a loved one, and the struggle to stay strong in our faith during difficult times. 

Will Brown - Back When We Were YoungThis song is an open and sincere prayer. It's not a plea for answers, but a heartfelt prayer to trust with a childlike faith, that is innocent and pure. It's a reminder that even when the pressures of life begin to wear us down, we can return to the simple faith and trust of a child. 'Give me faith like a child, innocent and sweet, You don't want half my heart or anything between… I give it all…,' Will sings, inviting us to let go of our worries and half-heartedness and surrender to God in unconditional faith. 

The song 'Back When We Were Young' helps us to regain a sense of divine child-like purity and strength as we face challenges. Will Brown encourages us to let go of our 'ifs,' 'buts,' and 'why's' and simply embrace the fact that God loves and accepts each of us just the way we are. 

Take a minute to listen to 'Back When We Were Young.' Allow the message to touch your heart. We pray that the song may lead you to the grace of God with a child-like faith and unconditional trust.

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...

Vertical Worship - Blessed (CCM)

Vertical Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Blessed. The Beatitudes serve as the inspiration for this new track. Quoting Vertical Worship: “The first line of the sermon on the mount, ‘Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ are words that we may be familiar with, but hold a profound invitation from Jesus. It is not those who have it all figured out, or have all the answers that will know more of His kingdom, but rather those who recognize their need of Him. And more of Him means more of His rule, His reign in my life. His law is love and He comes near with mercy.” They continued, “So, quite simply, that’s where the song started, from a place of remembering, a place of trust that when we turn to Jesus, we gain more of Him. And more of Him means more of His presence, His peace, His love. For what does it matter to gain the whole world, but forfeit our soul? What a gift that we get to at any moment recognize our deep need fo...
