'Pieces' by Bennie Parker - A Song of Restoration and Hope


As you listen to Bennie Parker's song 'Pieces,' you will probably realize that we've all felt broken at some point in time. A song that echo's the struggles, doubts, and desire for change and growth that we've all felt. We've been there before - feeling more lost than found and trying to keep everything together.

Bennie Parker - PiecesDoesn't it feel comforting to know that we're not alone in this mess? Bennie sings that Jesus is a friend in the darkness, whispering words of peace. It's not just Bennie's story, it's also ours. That brokenness you feel? It's not the end. In fact, it's the start of something beautiful, because Jesus promises that He will take our pieces and put us back together again. Nope, this isn't a nursery rhyme or a bedtime story we share with our children. It's a promise that many people, like Bennie, have already experienced in their lives.

'Save my soul. Fill the hole,' lyrics that are echoed in every believer's heart, because deep down inside, we all long for a completeness that only Jesus can bring. Bennie calls us to let go of the struggle and let Jesus step in, because He can pick up our pieces and turn them into something beautiful.

Bennie asks: 'Is there hope for me? A boat for me to reach the final shore?' We already know the answer in our hearts: a resounding 'Yes!' Believing that Jesus is here, ready to guide us to safety and make us whole. It doesn't matter how broken we feel, God's gift of forgiveness, healing, and transformation is already available for us.

Go ahead and listen. Remember, His forgiveness is there for YOU! All it takes is to reach out and humbly accept His gift of forgiveness.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Thank You Lord" by Sandra Lamb: When Worship Becomes Your Daily Habit

"Thank You Lord" by Sandra Lamb is a beautiful reminder that expressing your gratitude isn't just for those perfect days. The song starts by declaring God's greatness and invites you to constantly praise His greatness. In other words, worship isn't something that you do when you're in the right mood. Praising God is continuous, almost like a habit / a mindset. It's looking at the world, your life, and seeing God's greatness in everything.  The lyrics don't ignore the grey seasons in life… It walks us straight through them to His greatness. Instead of sinking into despair, we're encouraged to lift our hands, praise our Lord, and make a decision to praise God's name no matter what comes our way. Why? Because God's kindness shows up in our lives every single day. He opens doors and creates paths that previously seemed impossible… "You always show me kindness every day // You always made a way // Where there seems no way." Let...
