Jenna Northwood's 'Gotta Keep': Finding Strength in the Song


Jenna Northwood wrote the song 'Gotta Keep' when she was going through a difficult time. The song is a testament to Jenna's steadfast faith. It's a rallying cry for everyone who is toughing it out. The beat of the song? A single line: 'Gotta Keep, Gotta keep it all together.'

Jenna Northwood - Gotta KeepJenna helps us to remember that we're not alone. Somedays the news can really hit your sense of safety and security, and you almost wish that you could just switch it off and pretend it's not happening. It's also in those moments that we are blessed with the assurance that God is always with us. He keeps us upright when things get rough. And it is in songs like 'Gotta Keep' where we find strongholds to help keep us strong and calm. Songs that help us to position events in a larger persective, changing how we perceive the news that comes by as well as the day-to-day challenges we face at work and home.

Jenna's song is a call to action, encouraging us to hold onto our hope, trust, faith, and a belief in God's constant presence. There is hope in this song, a hope that reminds us that God will carry us through all circumstances and with His help, all will be okay.

"At The Feet (Midnight)" by Action Worship: Surrender and Rest

(by Jasper Tan) After making a review of Action Worship's song "All Praise (Dawn)" early this year (which, by the way, moved me so much), Action Worship is here once more with a beautiful follow-up single called "At The Feet (Midnight)." Continuing their songwriting sessions at a beach house retreat, "At The Feet" is a powerful and once more immersive Christian contemporary worship song that captures a raw and intimate atmosphere of worship. Like their other previously released songs, the track is anchored in a "Beach House" setting, leaning on a warm, organic, and slightly lo-fi feel as compared to the more traditional stadium worship recordings of other Worship songs. This makes the song feel more like a shared spiritual experience rather than a polished studio recording. This has always been Action Worship's greatest strength with their songs. And this creative process has definitely defined the signature sound of the Action Worship te...

"The Bottom of Myself" by Mike Janzen: Grace at Rock Bottom

"The Bottom of Myself" by Mike Janzen is a spiritual journey with an Americana-pop groove. The song invites you into a space where the dark moments of life meet light.  Have you ever felt as if you were lost in a desert storm? Then you're not alone. Janzen also knows that feeling. He beautifully captures the struggle of losing your way with the following lyrics: "Fell down in the middle of the darkness // Woke up and the world had changed // Stumbling, squinting in the daylight // Wanna run but sometimes you gotta wait." But there is more, because Janzen shows that there is hope.  Instead of running away from the pain, Janzen sings: "sometimes you gotta wait." Why? Because at the end of yourself is God. Your weakness is where His strength begins. "When the clocks tickin twelve it's true // At the bottom of myself is You," this is where truth emerges. You might be trying to find your way home, but real peace comes when you stop striving...
