'In Your Hands' by Jeff H. Ulrich: A Soul-Stirring Journey Through Faith


Jeff H. Ulrich's song 'In Your Hands' isn't just any song, it is a peak behind the curtain of Jeff's life, his journey of ups and downs, seeking God's guidance, and trusting in His plan. Did you know that Jeff was born blind, got partial sight when he was 9 months old, was battling for his life when he was 9 years old, and endured various personal and financial crises? Jeff didn't share this in order to get a pat on the back. He lived through these trials, supported by his faith with each step, and now shares this to encourage others as they face their own challenges.

Jeff H. Ulrich - In Your Hands'In Your Hands' is a reflection of Jeff's journey, a journey that deserves more than a summary of few words. That is why you'll find links to a YouTube video with Jeff's backstory, and a podcast episode where we deep dive into Jeff's story and this song. Looking at the lyrics, 'When I was lost - Drifting all alone, Not sure I'd ever come to find My way,' Jeff sings about the confusion and desperation that we've all felt! It's not intended as a complaint, but just stating the fact and, more important, finding his direction and hope in God. 'Just trust in Him. Hear Him and obey,' the key elements that ensure us that in our darkest moments, we'll never be truly alone.

God has a plan for each of us, and Jeff's story shows how he survived challenges and how things got much better when he placed his life in God's hands. From miraculous healings to finding a job that allowed him to spend more time with his daughter, that is how the power of faith and prayer worked out so far in Jeff's life. Just imagine what faith and prayer can do in your life! Imagine the peace and assurance that will come in your life when you surrender to God's will, and maybe you too will repeat Jeff's words: 'Lord, I am in Your hands. O, Father above, My life Is in Your hands'.

'In Your Hands' is a call to live! It's a reminder that with faith, no obstacle is too big and no mountain too high to climb (just stop trying to do it on your own). Go ahead and take a moment to listen to Jeff's song, and may it remind you that no matter the trials, you're in God's hands.

And if you have time, also listen to the backstory and the podcast episode. Enjoy!

"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 ...
