Finding True Belonging: 'Home to You' by Jesse Bless


Jesse Bless's "Home to You" is a heartwarming and spirit-lifting song that touches on three themes: belonging, love, and spiritual discovery. Jesse is a single foster parent, and the inspiration for this song came during a weekend respite placement with a 10-year-old boy in foster care. The boy wanted to write a song about a child who runs away from home, and when he returns, he discovers that there are different people in his home. 

Jesse Bless - Home to YouThe lyrics of this song tell the story of a child searching for a place to call home, a search that also mirrors our own search for refuge and belonging in Christ. The verses start with expressing loneliness and struggle, and the chorus is where hope is ignited. As the song continues, the voice of fear finally quiets as we discover what we're supposed to do. We just have to get "home to You".

"Home to You" is a call to action. We all in some way need to run away from parts of our lives and find our true Home. May you accept the invitation to find your true home in God's arms.

And may the story behind this song also spark conversations about the importance of foster care—providing a safe and loving environment for children in need.

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28; Isaiah 41:10; Psalm 147:3)

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...
