'I Remember' by Hayden Snook: A Song for Trusting God's Path


Hayden Snook's song, 'I Remember,' is a trip to the past, to times where you imagined what your future would be like. Hayden recalls a cold December eve, when he was reflecting on how his life turned out compared to his childhood dreams. He once dreamed of becoming a MLB baseball player, a lawyer, a doctor, and even president, but life took him in a different direction. 

Hayden Snook - I RememberHe recalls opening his Bible and reading that our lives run on God's timing, not ours. Hayden realized that the only final destination that he needed to focus on was Heaven, his true home. 

Hayden recalls that he hopped in the shower, and the words, 'This Life Is Harder Now Than I Remember' came to mind. This was the start of the song 'I Remember'. 

'I Remember' is the song for everyone who once thought that life would be much easier than it really is today. It's a song of hope that God has your back even when life takes a different turn. His arms are your true safe haven. Listening to this song may remind you of the power and comfort that God's promises can bring. 

So, go ahead and listen to Hayden Snook's 'I Remember.' May it remind you of God's love and that He has a plan for you, no matter how challenging things may seem… He is in control.

(Related scripture: Proverbs 16:9; Colossians 3:2; Mark 10:16; John 16:33)

'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...

"the cost (given for us)" by HOMECOMING: Feeling the Weight of Grace

HOMECOMING's "the cost (given for us)" looks at the weight of what Jesus gave up to save humanity. The backstory that HOMECOMING wrote this song after talking about how easy it is to say "Jesus died for me" without really thinking about what that means. Like, what did it actually cost Him? Their approach wasn't to create another "thank You" song, but a song that invites us to slow down and truly feel the sacrifice He made. His sacrifice wasn't just a painful moment on a cross. It was everything. He gave up heaven. He was rejected, betrayed, beaten… and He still chose the cross for us. That kind of love doesn't make sense. But it's real. The lyrics give words to the awe we feel: "You took my place // How can it be // By your grace I'm saved."

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common: Letting Go of People-Pleasing for Good

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common is an interesting song that was born out of this duo's struggles with wanting to please people and the pressure they felt to perform. The song reminds us to stop chasing others for their approval and start chasing Jesus instead. "I'm so done tryna be someone else just to keep people's attention," they sing. It can be very exhausting to constantly pretend and perform. The song reminds us to keep our hearts and lives centered on Jesus—the only one who truly is worthy of being our role model. Not for applause. Not for attention. But because His way is the only one that brings real peace and fulfillment in our lives.  The need to please others and perform is probably a feeling that many of us know all too well — but it doesn't have to define us.  The lyrics of the song put the issue right there on the table: "Who am I tryna be, who am I tryna please? That's the question." And the answer? Ofcourse, Jesus i...
