Haddon’s ‘In Your Arms’: Finding New Life in Christ


Haddon's song "In Your Arms" does a beautiful job of describing challenges that many of us know all too well. Based on Romans 8:6, Haddon sings about his own battle with sin and how Christ helped him overcome. For many years, Haddon found himself stuck in a cycle of self-destructive habits and sin. Pride and lust had brought him to the end of his rope. He kept going further down and wondered when he would reach the bottom. But remembering Romans 6 brought him hope, realizing true life is found only by setting your mind on Jesus. 

Haddon - In Your ArmsThe lyrics feel like an honest conversation with a friend, urging those who feel lost or weary to turn to God. If you've ever felt crushed by pride, trapped by sin, or just plain exhausted, Haddon's assures you that life is full and hope is certain, where God's embrace is like a gentle hand that is guiding you back on track. 

Only God brings hope and new life. As Haddon shares: "So through fire and water, whatever the trial may be, I'll continue to look to my Father in heaven because life is better in His arms." 

May the message of this song help you with your decision to surrender all to God and enjoy the life that He has planned for you from the safety of His arms.

(Related scripture: Romans 8:6; Romans 6:22; Psalm 34:17-18)

"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 ...

"Beautiful Son" by John Perkins: The Gospel, Up Close and Personal

Jesus loved us before we deserved it. That’s the key message of “Beautiful Son” by John Perkins. Christ’s beauty rests in humility and love, not just physical brilliance. Taken from his four-song EP “Jesus I Do”, this song makes our celebration of Christ very personal. “Jesus, you love me in spite of myself // I give it all to you // I lay it in your hand.” This “Love”, despite what we do, changes everything. Have you ever felt that kind of love? The kind of love that meets you exactly where you are? But why, you may ask? Why can He love me while I feel weighed down by past mistakes? It’s because forgiveness became real on the cross. The stone rolled away, and death lost its sting. This doesn’t point to suffering, but to freedom. That freedom also means that our worth doesn’t depend on our performance. It depends on His finished work. His beauty isn’t just visual. His love changes water to wine, washes away sin, and His love still sets souls free today. His love changes everything, and...
