Jeff H. Ulrich's 'Presence of God': A Journey to Peace and Redemption


Jeff H. Ulrich's song 'Presence of God,' was written back in 2001, after struggles turned into what Jeff calls a time of personal enlightenment. This alt-rock narrative captures those struggles, the transformation that followed, and the hope that Jeff has in his heart ever since. It's about moving forward from past challenges to finding the healing peace that comes from having God in your life. 

Jeff H. Ulrich - Presence of GodJeff's story is very relatable, and easily reminds us of those days where some dreams came true and some dreams needed to be 're-tuned' to align with His intent for our lives. Despite our not-so-perfect days, Jeff reminds us that big change will come to our lives when we let Him lead. It's not about material possessions or temporary gratifications. This is a peace that can only come when you actively work on building & maintaining your relationship with God. 

I sense the renewal and gratitude that Jeff must have felt as he sings, 'I was lost till I found the means to provide me the perfect peace of the hope that fulfills me.' God's Spirit does calm the storms we face in life and restores His peace in our hearts. That is the key message that is heard throughout the song. 

Go ahead and give 'Presence of God' a listen. May Jeff's journey inspire your own, where you may feel the hope, experience the peace, and be constantly reminded that it is God's presence that sustains us.

(Related scripture: Philippians 4:7; Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 16:11)

"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...

"Lord You Are So Awesome" by Mario Tucker: Turning Everyday Moments into Praise

“Lord You Are So Awesome” by Mario Tucker is a reminder that worship doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be powerful. The song is based on the fact that what matters the most is that God’s greatness deserves our constant praise. Our praise doesn't have to meet any quality standards for it to be pleasing to God. So, ask yourself... when was the last time that you took a moment to say, “Lord you are so awesome / Lord you are so great / Your name is above the Heavens”? This song invites you to be constantly aware of God’s greatness, and that includes awareness outside the walls of church, like during car rides, your quiet time, and those precious triumphs in life. It's an awareness that leads to response. “So let’s praise and magnify your name.” Praise is not a matter of passively observing and responding... it’s a call to turn your admiration into active devotion. Think about it for a moment: what would change in your life if praise became your first reaction instead of ...

"Psalm 9 (Thank You)" by Red Letter Society: God's Sovereign Justice

Jordan West and the Red Letter Society continue their ambitious journey through the Psalms. "Psalm 9 (Thank You)" is a message of thanksgiving to a sovereign, righteous God who defends the oppressed and judges evil with perfect justice.  The song emphasizes the two core promises found in Psalm 9: "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." And, those who know God's name can trust Him, because He "has never forsaken those who seek Him." So, what do you do when depression fills your heart? Do you feel abandoned? Instead of focusing on pain, this song declares that God remains seated through (your) chaos. He is and always will be a stronghold even when "war" draws near. The lyrics ask: "My trials feel unseen // Have you forsaken me?" , and emphasize that you are not unseen.  The chorus invites us to praise through our fears. "I will thank you," because we trust the promise that our God judges...
