HOMECOMING's 'JESUS (ily)' - A Song of Transformative Love


HOMECOMING's 'JESUS (ily)' is a heartfelt song that captures that life-changing moment when you say 'YES' to Jesus. The abbreviation 'ily' in the song title stands for 'I Love You'. It's a song that expresses our love for Christ, and bridges that first moment that we surrendered ourselves to Christ and the lasting impact His love has in our lives. 

HOMECOMING - JESUS (ily)The lyrics echo the joy we may feel when we discover that we have a Father who truly loves and saves us: 'I won't forget / The moment I met You / The moment You changed my life.' These lines take you right back to your own awakening in faith, and remind you of God's unwavering presence. It doesn't matter what you're going through, whether you're on mountains high, or feel surrounded by darkness, the message of this song reassures you, 'I've got nothing to fear / I know You are with me.' 

If you think that 'JESUS (ily)' is just for the youth or new believers, then listen closer. It's a song for everyone who is looking to renew / refresh their commitment to Christ. The chorus is very straight forward and quickly gets you repeating the words, 'Jesus, I love You / Oh, how I love You / Here in this place I give You my heart.' The melody, the message, and the performance feel like a warm embrace that leads your heart closer to God, and encourages you to hold on to Jesus, no matter what happens or where you are on your spiritual journey. 

We believe that 'JESUS (ily)' is a great song to add to your playlist! We pray that its melody and sincere lyrics will remind you of that first time you said 'YES' to Jesus, and help you to stay grounded in His love. Embrace the joy, the reassurance, and the everlasting love that this song celebrates!

"Hiding Place (Live)" by DBU Chapel Worship: Forgiven, Covered, and Free

How often do you hear worship songs being sung live in the comforts of your day-to-day living? For sure, there are a dime a dozen. Some you commonly share with the person next to you, featuring songs by popular Christian Artists. But there's a certain form of unique sincerity when one discovers a worship song that is yet to break through to a larger audience. This is how the song "Hiding Place" by DBU Chapel Worship featuring Olivia-Grace McKern felt like when I first listened to the song. It felt like a new testimony being told, of one's dedication to find God and remain in his presence.  Taking root from Psalm 32, the song is a collaboration of Olivia with a host of songwriters from the DBU Chapel Worship. Enriching her experience as a songwriter and moving her through the songwriting process. In perhaps a reflection of what the song eventually became, it wasn't so that Olivia conveniently hid behind the DBU Chapel Worship songwriters/musicians. This song is a c...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
