Be Still' by Caitlin McGovern is a musical lifeline for everyone who is going through rough times. It's interesting how music can touch people's hearts, especially when they are holding on to the last bit of certainty they have and everything seems to be falling apart. That's when Caitlin's voice comes in with, 'Be still and know that He is God.' This song reminds you that even now, especially now, it is God who helps you to see the horizon, where the sunrise chases out the dark, and where He casts away every fear and doubt! Many songs are triggered by events in people's lives, and this song is no different. Caitlin wrote this song for her brother-in-law during a time of job loss and uncertainty, with four children relying on him. The song mirrors this struggle and brings in Psalm 46:10, radiating a serene confidence, and a reminder that in the middle of chaos we're held in the arms of a God who even commands the winds and the waves.  'Be Still&

Shalah Marie lays her soul bare in 'Here I Am,' a powerful and relatable song about the brokenness that we all can face in life. Maybe you've also been there? On the floor, feeling empty and alone, wondering if there's a way out of this situation. There is a way out! In those moments, when you've got nothing else left, just raise your hands and eyes to heaven and whisper, 'OK God. Here I am.'  Shalah shares her heart in this song, starting the first verse with relatable vulnerability, 'I've lived my life inside the darkness // So lost in this world // I didn't know any better.' You can almost feel her pain and yearning for the Light, realizing that it's time to surrender 'God, here I am'.  The chorus confirms that her whisper wasn't in vain: 'If it wasn't for Your mercy // Don't know where I would stand // Grateful Your Love came and found me // Here I am.' It is good to surrender to Him, but we also need to

As the title of the song suggests, 'Jesus You Are My Way,' D28 Band's newest song is a song of praise. It's about trusting and surrendering, and calling on God for strength. This song is the seventh single that will appear on their upcoming album, 'Jesus Set Me Free'.  The backstory for this song is as sincere as it gets. 'Jesus You Are My Way' is actually a prayer that JJ Smith would be praying, calling on the names of God. One day, he said 'Lord, I want to sing a song of your names,' and 'Jesus You Are My Way was born'. It's such a blessing to be able to sing, 'Whenever I fall, You're there to lift me,' with the fullest conviction that He is always by our side, no matter how often we fall!  As I listen, I can picture myself standing there with open arms, ready to be wrapped His love, and accept Him to guide my life. The chorus is a celebration of His character -  'You're El Shaddai, Jehova Jireh, You're Ado

Psalm 126 celebrates God's restoration of Zion, turning sorrow into joy, and gives us the promise of countless blessings that follow our faithful endurance. Marcus & Jalyn McGill have beautifully captured that essence in their song 'Psalm 126'. Just like you will find in this Psalm, this song is such a source of hope if you're going through tough times.  'Psalm 126' is the fourth single from their upcoming album, 'Between Barren & Beautiful'. It features Chris Graham, who gives the song an extra gospel vibe that reaches deep into your heart, and makes you want to close your eyes and sway with the music. You know how sometimes life can feel as if your all alone, wandering through a desert? Can you imagine the joy you would feel when you see the help that is rapidly coming your way? That joy of knowing that the situation is changing for the better, the tears running down your cheeks when you realize that you will soon be embraced by the One who tru

'Consecrated' Cindy Clark is a relatable song, especially if you've faced the dark nights of despair or walked along rocky paths that are filled with personal struggles, such as depression and loss. Cindy's songs are born out of her struggles with depression, chronic pain, addiction, and devastating losses, and even more important, the lyrics point to the healing power that we all may find in singing God's word.  With 'Consecrated,' Cindy points us to a place of healing and growing our relationship with God. A relationship where we long for more intimacy and more time in His presence.  Cindy starts each verse with a plea, to be set apart. 'Set me apart to sing your praise I lift up my hands to worship // Open up my ears to hear your voice so I can follow you // I wanna see your beauty // I want to enter in.' Can you already see yourself praising Him and having an intimate conversation with our Savior?  This is the yearning that Cindy is sharing, a y

Chelsea Nogas's song 'Covered' is what I call a blessing wrapped in melody, and addresses a trap that feels all to familiar. The trap of thinking that I don't deserve a blessing I've received or that I need to earn God's love through my actions. 'Covered' is based on Matthew 11:28. Chelsea wrote it as a reminder that rest and freedom are gifts from Jesus, ones we find at the cross, not as a result of what we do. Gifts based on grace, His grace.  The lyrics, 'Lord, I need Your rest… At the cross, I lay my head,' is an invitation to lay down what your trying to 'earn', your striving, and remember that His grace and love have already covered everything. His grace is enough! We're His, adopted through His blood. We all need to be reminded from time to time of the gospel, and that true freedom/rest is found at the cross.  Chelsea chose an acoustic piano backdrop for 'Covered,' ensuring the spotlight remains on the message of grace

Arcadia Worship's live rendition of 'Daily Bread' is a inspiring song about the faithfulness of God. With the third single from their live album, a husband and wife duo, Caleb and Ash Wiseman, together with Arcadia Worship pour their hearts into every line. This song is an acknowledgment that in every ebb and flow of life, whether your heart is full or you find your spirit dried, you will find sustenance each time you call on Jesus.  Imagine the calmness that comes when you know that, despite the chaos in or around you, you have an unending source that will never let you run dry. 'The Lord is good, The Lord is kind, He's provided through all my life,' these words echo the psalmist's assurance of God's steadfast provision (Psalm 100:5).  Let the chorus sink in: 'You're my daily bread, You're my source of life.' Is this also your declaration? If not, invite God to reign in your life and help you align your will with His.  The bridge conne
