Red Letter Society's 'Peace' - Finding God in the Valleys


When you listen closely to Red Letter Society's newest song 'Peace,' you'll quickly feel that there is more to this song than what the lyrics are sharing. Even when things look the worst, the lyrics remind us that God is with all who invite Him into their lives and will light up your ways. 'Through the valleys, darkest shadow, I will remain in perfect peace,' the song begins. Powerful words that invite you to experience God's peace even when surrounded by life's struggles, and a link is quickly made to Psalm 23.

Red Letter Society - PeaceBut what sparked this song was the heartbreaking loss of two miscarriages, and it's easy to imagine that this was a period filled with deep grief. As you would expect from Red Letter Society, they found solace in each other and the Scriptures, particularly Psalm 23, which talks about God walking with us through the valley of the shadow of death. A true message of hope.

There is so much comfort to be found in the chorus: 'I will fear no path that you will lead, on this road you walk with me.' You can rest assured that you don't have to walk alone. Invite Him into your life, because with the Shepherd King by your side there's nothing to fear.

He wasn't just promising that fear would go away; he also promises us eternal hope, 'Surely goodness will follow me, forever with my King.' His promise to us, His followers, is that we will find al eternal peace in God's house.

Just take a moment to listen to 'Peace.' God's love and comfort are always with you, even when circumstances look terrible. May this song remind you of that.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:4-5; John 14:27; Isaiah 26:3)

I’ve never heard such a beautiful love song written for Jesus that is very relatable, and that truly defines how it is to be loved.

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Gentle" by Andrew Macdonald: Finding Grace in Life's Hardest Moments

(by Jasper Tan) Have you heard of any heartfelt song lately that elaborates on the pain, yet the yearning for healing feels so heart-wrenching? Andrew Macdonald's latest song, "Gentle," feels just like that. In what seems like a conversational piece with someone, the song actually is a prayer yearning for God's grace and healing. The lush sound of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the heartfelt delivery of the vocals, delivers a certain kind of sincerity wherein Andrew pours his heart out to Jesus. It is very seldom to hear songs wherein the singer cuts through our emotions just enough for us to feel an affinity to his pleas. And Andrew's outreach for help through prayer is something that really cuts through our own pains when we are in those moments of vulnerability while we deal with our own issues. Though the song starts off as a sad song and the lines that are delivered feel so gloomy and hopeless, the song makes a stark change for the better when it starts to...
