Finding Grace in Pain: 'You Don’t Know What You’ve Done' by Jeff H. Ulrich


Jeff H. Ulrich really pours out his heart into a new song, 'You Don't Know What You've Done.' This song gently calls out to anyone who has caused others pain and offers them peace and a path to forgiveness. Just let this sink in for a moment… this is a double call to action! It is calling you to offer anyone that caused you pain nothing but peace and forgiveness. It is also calling those who caused pain to accept that personal peace and forgiveness, but also to seek the life-changing power of Christ's love and peace. 

Jeff H. Ulrich - You Don’t Know What You’ve DoneJeff is drawing from his own struggles and the serious impact that Long-COVID has on his life. As Jeff reflects on life's fragility, he realizes how important it is to seek understanding, reconciliation, and closure.

Jeff starts the song with a vivid acknowledgment of the darkness and hurt we may experience and beautifully transitions into a message of faith and resilience found in Jesus. It is lines like "You don't know what you've done // 'Cause you don't know Jesus' way" that underscore the central theme of the song-the power of Christ's love that can change our lives and His promise of eternal peace if we let Him be at the center of what we think and do.

The verses of the song switch between Jeff's own journey and his prayer for those who have yet to embrace Jesus (again). May this song be a reminder that it is through Christ's grace that we can forgive and heal, and may look forward to that day when we as saints are singing 'Amazing Grace' together in Heaven.

(Related scripture: Psalm 18:17; Psalm 23:4; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18; Romans 2:5-6)

"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 ...
