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)

"I Need God" by Richard Baś: Because Nothing Else Really Satisfies

Have you ever chased what you thought was peace and come up empty?  “I Need God” by Richard Baś is a song for people who keep searching and never find enough. Richard wanted a Christian song with energy and edge — something that causes listeners to experience certain emotions that are regularly not in the Christian genre. The song opens with restlessness: “These days I’m running from my own shadow,” he sings, “trying to find a peace of mind.” He tries love. He tries drugs. He tries more. Nothing changes. That’s the trap that so many of us already know. We chase one thing, then another, hoping the next thing will finally be enough… But it never really is.  There is a shift in the song. “Jesus has set me free and I, I am free now,” Richard declares. The running stops. The striving stops. Richard names it clearly: “Yeah I need God.”   The song echoes the same message that we read in Psalm 42:1–2: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My so...

"I Love to Praise Your Name" by Chrystal: Worship That Survives the Storm

A declaration of consistent devotion and faithfulness to God (by Jasper Tan) Chrystal Williams-Alberty’s “I Love to Praise Your Name” is a beautiful and heartfelt contemporary praise and worship song. The song focuses on our devotion and adoration to our God. The lyrics are simple but deep in expression. Reminding us that to worship God is a lifelong commitment, and we should always give our gratitude and faithfulness to our loving God.

This shows us that praising God isn’t just when things are going our way, but even in the most trying times; our devotion and faithfulness to him must remain constant. This is what makes this song beautiful because it came from a place of sincerity and raw honesty. Chrystal shows her unw...

"Arrows (Psalm 127)" by Matt Rees: Raising Children With God

Children aren’t a burden — they’re a gift. “Arrows (Psalm 127)” by Matt Rees is a simple family-centered message about trusting God to guide you as you build your home. Matt picked up an acoustic guitar and let Psalm 127 speak for itself — warm, simple, family-centered. No embellishment needed. The words carry their own weight. “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,” the song opens. “The fruit of the womb is a reward.” This line (quoting Psalm 127:3) points out that children are a “gift/reward from God,” and shouldn’t be confused with “wages you’ve earned” or “proof of divine favor you possess.” This scripture isn’t making a claim about the worth, status, or blessedness of people who don’t have children. Those are two different statements, and a lot of painful misreading happens when the second gets smuggled in under the first. Children are not a burden, or an inconvenience squeezed into a busy schedule. Psalm 127:4 compares children to “arrows in the hand of a warrior”  ...
