'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.

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...

"Man of Sorrows" by Lauren Gruwell: Jesus Feels Your Pain With You

Jesus knows your pain before you speak it. Lauren Gruwell knows what it is when Jesus feels unreachable. Trauma in her childhood left her with deep sorrow, and for years Jesus seemed too far away. She didn’t think she was good enough to come near Him. Are you also familiar with that feeling? Do you sit in the dark, tears falling, and wonder: “… no one knows but if they did, would they care?” Lauren shares: “It wasn’t until He changed me, that I realized that HE has felt all the pain I’ve ever felt, and that He loves me regardless.” The Savior that she thought she couldn’t approach had already walked her road. This song, “Man of Sorrows”, grew from that discovery, and it carries a promise for anyone who hurts: “And all of my hurt, He felt it first…” . Jesus hurts right beside you. In Isaiah 53:3, we read that He was “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” Then comes the line that changes everything: “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” Our griefs. Our sorrow...

"My Side" by Dan Read: Proof That God Never Leaves Your Side

You can ask God the hard questions. Dan Read doesn’t tiptoe around hard questions. His song, “My Side”, opens with a whole bunch of questions: “Where is the rudder that keeps me afloat?” “Where is the anchor when I know I shouldn’t go?” “Where is the sail that guides me home?” Have you ever asked God something that blunt? Dan also admits what he can’t see. “I don’t know what the future holds.” “I don’t know why we hurt sometimes.” No tidy answers follow. Every one of these questions lands in the same place: “I look to the heavens.” Notice what he does with his doubt. He lifts it instead of hiding it. The writer of the book of Hebrews (we don’t know who the author was) gives that habit a solid footing: “We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.” In other words, waves still roll, and our Anchor holds anyway. The song makes this personal. Dan sings that he has “heard stories about the peace that you bring” and heard of God’s power in the songs we sing. But seeing it ...
