Kayla Spurlock's 'Yes, He Will' - Finding His Light in the Darkest Nights


In the middle of all of the turmoil that is taking place across the world, "Yes, He Will" by Kayla Spurlock has a powerful message that we all need to hear. With the terrible events of October 7, 2023, in mind - when Israel was invaded - Kayla wrote this song as a testimony that Christ is watching over us, comforting us, and even holding us, dispite the man-made acts of extreme aggression that we are witnessing today. 

Kayla Spurlock Music - Yes, He WillThe song applies to all world conflicts as well as the difficult life circumstances we may be going through - the strife and turmoil that touches (or may even crashes into) our lives, both globally and personally. Kayla doesn't hesitate to bring the fears and doubts to life that gnaw at our sense of peace. "When a rocket screams in the dead of night, Every eye reflects the bright orange light," she begins, setting a scene filled with terror that is the current reality to so many innocent people. This scene is quickly replaced with a powerful chorus: "Yes, He will! And He calms every scream and every cry," a reminder of the constant presence of God's love and His eternal promise of protection. No, it isn't easy to imagine how this works when you see the pictures of total destruction, the killing, the attempts back and forth to justify acts of aggression, acts that are difficult, maybe even impossible, to justify in God's eyes. Even though we can't see the bigger picture, we can choose to keep our focus on God. We can trust that He will calm every scream and cry, even when we don't understand the how and when. 

Kayla's background as a music educator and an impressive number of awards and recognitions for her music are reflected in the quality of this production and the message of the song. 'Yes, He Will' isn't the instant answer for all of our doubts and feelings of insecurity, but it does point everyone who feels caught in the night and is searching for a dawn to the one and only source that will guide us into His light. 

I encourage you to listen and let the words ignite a flame of faith in your heart. May 'Yes, He Will,' be a companion during our moments of doubt and remind us that God is always in control.

(Related scripture: Psalm 46:1-3; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9; Revelation 21:4)

"Lay Your Weapon Down" by Curtis Ray: The Strength It Takes to Let Go

Pride feels powerful until it costs you everything that matters. Curtis Ray wrote “Lay Your Weapon Down” out of an honest wrestle with something most of us know too well — the pull between proving a point and preserving a relationship. In a world where the loudest voice and the sharpest argument seem to be rewarded, we tend to forget it’s not about surrendering conviction. It’s about asking an important question: “If love is not the motive behind what we say and do, then what are we really fighting for?” That question doesn’t let you off the hook easily. In 1 Corinthians 13:2 (ESV) we read: “And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” The Apostle Paul wasn’t being dramatic here. You can be completely right and still be completely empty. Knowledge, conviction, even faith — none of it carries weight without love underneath it. The song captures the essence of this sc...

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Welcome Home" by Mary Oz: Love Is Already at the Door

What if the door you’ve been afraid to walk through has been open for you all along? “Welcome Home” by Mary Oz recalls one of the most tender stories in the Christian faith — the return of the prodigal son. His return wasn’t a march of shame, nor was it a hero’s parade. It was a quiet, tired walk back to the only place that ever truly knew and loved him. Mary wrote this song with a soft invitation, a conversational opening that builds into something victorious, with harmonies and drums leading the charge. Then settling again into that same warm, assuring, and secure invitation. A progression that mirrors the journey home.  The lyrics remind us that Jesus isn’t asking you to clean up first. “Come in, lost and wild prodigal / ‘Cos Love is waiting by the kitchen door.” There’s no courtroom here. No checklist. Just Love — patient, unhurried, already standing at the door. The broken don’t arrive here as burdens; they arrive as loved ones.  That’s the heartbeat of Luke 15:20: “But ...
