Jaynie Hansen's 'Worthy': A Celebration of God's Unending Goodness


Jaynie Hansen's song 'Worthy' is a joyful song calling us to praise His worthy name. Jaynie wrote Worthy in college, sitting behind a piano in one of the practice rooms. She wanted to write something that was a bit more upbeat that the more reflective, slower-moving songs she usually writes.

Jaynie Hansen - WorthyInspired by Psalm 34:1, 'I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth,' Jaynie penned this song straight from her heart. She was speaking God's truth into her own discouragement and, at the same time, knew that there are people who need to know His goodness, either for the first time or on a deeper level.

As followers of Christ, we need to be reminded from time to time of who we are in Him and why we can and should declare His worth. Jaynie captured the essence of why Jesus is worthy of our praise. The lyrics tell us about His awesome deeds - freeing us from death, transforming our hearts, giving us strength, and illuminating our path.

Go ahead and listen to 'Worthy' by Jaynie Hansen. May this song encourage you to share God's truth with the world around you, and boldly declare, through your actions or words, 'Worthy, worthy is Your name.'

"When I Saw The Light" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Folk, Grace, and the Moment Everything Changes

“When I Saw The Light” captures something painfully familiar — the trap that routine can bring. Tyler Philip Ratcliffe wrote this folk anthem as a follow-up to “This Little Light of Mine,” drawing on his bluegrass roots and the spirit of Bill Monroe’s classic to tell a story many will recognize in themselves. The verses don’t sugarcoat it. “Same faces, same mistakes, same places // Promise that I change it all tomorrow”  — the trap we need to be aware of… The routine masquerading as life. But Ratcliffe doesn’t leave the listener there. The chorus lifts everything: “I traded fake for something honest // Finally doing something right.” That’s the turning point! What makes this song land is its honesty about the moment before a breakthrough. When numbness sets in, when you’ve exhausted every other option — that’s when the light (His light) breaks through. Ratcliffe captures the surprise of grace: “I wasn’t looking for religion // Wasn’t searching for the truth.” Nobody ever is. And ye...

"Hard Times" by Matt Rees: Finding Faithful Ground When Life Comes Apart

Hard times have a way of stripping everything back. Matt Rees knows this well — and "Hard Times" was came out of one of those seasons. The Michigan-based singer-songwriter has spent years writing music that builds up the church and glorifies God, and this song carries that same honest, unpolished faith. What makes it remarkable is the posture Rees takes. Rather than crying out from the pain, he's thanking God for it. "I thank You for the hard times // when You test what's in the depths of my heart." That's not wishful thinking… That's hard-won conviction coming from the slow & dark times, and the confusing times when everything comes apart at the seams. Rees names them all, and then he names what happens next: God shows up! The chorus wraps it together…. "This life ain't always easy // but You're always faithful and true." Simple, true, and more important…. it's enough! Because when you've lived through the kind of sea...

"Psalm 10 (Do You See)" by Red Letter Society: Honest Faith, Bold Trust, and the Hope of God's Reign

Injustice is hard to sit with. When evil goes unchecked, and the vulnerable are overlooked, even the most faithful hearts may be wrestling with silence from heaven. Red Letter Society's "Psalm 10 (Do You See)" is about that struggle. This song is part of the band's ongoing psalm project and gives the church honest language for prayer. Instead of wrapping pain in comfortable platitudes, it voices the raw cry found in Psalm 10: "Why, O Lord, do You stand so far? Why hide Yourself so I can't see?" That's not a crisis of someone's faith; it's faith being real, and there is a big difference between the two. Featuring Jordan West, the lyrics move through the frustration and toward a confession. In the chorus, you'll hear the weight shifting: "To You the helpless commits himself, in You the orphan finds their help." This is trust that is forged under pressure. In the bridge of the song, you'll hear the resolution, a resolution th...
