'Sinking' by Brayden Tabakian: A Touch of God's Grace


'Sinking' by Brayden Tabakian is an inspiring song. Brayden shares that he wrote it after he decided to change his musical direction to Christian music. He wrote this song in his bedroom while talking to his friend and producer, Drew James, on FaceTime. This was their first collaboration and Brayden's first songwriting effort in months. Brayden had taken a break to rethink the kind of music he wanted to make and message he wanted to send. 'Sinking' seemed to fit both everything he had been feeling inside and the style he wanted for his future songs.

Brayden Tabakian - SinkingIn 'Sinking,' you can hear Brayden's struggle and faith. The song starts with 'Sometimes this life gets crazy, my heart's been slowly breaking.' It's so true when you think about what's going on in the world right now! You might even start to question whether or not God hears us. Then Brayden reminds us of how God's love never changes. He reminds us that God's love can reach us, no matter how far away we are or how crazy the world is getting, with lines like 'Your love is never changing' and 'There is no distance too far'. 

Many will be able to relate to the chorus, which says, 'I just wanna be where you are, consumed by your heart.' It encourages us to look for God in the middle of the chaos. It's inspiring to hear how Brayden went from feeling lost to finding God's grace, and it shouldn't come as a surprise that he wishes that everyone who hears 'Sinking' will strongly feel God's love in their lives. 

I encourage you to listen to 'Sinking.' May its message of hope and comfort help you to open your life to His lifesaving grace.

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...

"Gravity Of Grace" by Carli Lessing: The Pull You Can't Outrun

Can His grace really pull you back when you’ve drifted this far?  Gravity never asks permission. Drop something, anything, and it falls back to earth without effort or argument. Carli Lessing compares gravity with the way that grace works. You don’t fight your way back into God’s reach. He pulls you there.  The lyrics open with a familiar confession: “I don’t need to run away, hiding from the truth.” Running doesn’t hide anything from God anyway. He “sees every last mistake and selfish path I choose,” and despite that, He stays put. Carli admits she still catches herself trying to earn what God already gave away. That instinct runs deep in all of us. We dress up our effort and call it faith, all while missing the actual gift that is sitting in front of us.  Look at Ephesians 2:8–9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”   Grace isn’t a result of our wo...

"Guard My Heart From Lies" by whispering HOPE: Fully Changed, Fully His, Fully Free

When the lies crowd in, where do you run for truth? There is a whisper that knows exactly when to show up in your head. You hear it in the quiet moments — when doubt creeps in, when old wounds resurface, when confusion floods the mind before you have had a chance to stand firm. whispering HOPE wrote “Guard My Heart From Lies” from the very place where our battles for truth are fought, not on a stage but in the silence of your own thoughts. The song opens with a striking scene: “There’s a whisper at the window, speaking shadows to my mind, trying hard to steal the promise of the life You said was mine.” This enemy doesn’t need to shout. A whisper is more than enough to trigger the rest, unless you know whose voice to follow. And that is the reminder found in this song: “I don’t have to strive for rest, Your finished work has called me blessed.” This kind of rest isn’t something you earn or give yourself after a hard week. It is already yours. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes this clear: “If a...
