I Am Yours' by Ryan & Wendy Wegner: The Joy Found After Surrender


In 'I Am Yours,' Ryan and Wendy Wegner sing about the process we all go through at some point in our lives of surrendering to God's will. Written while they were face to face with the harsh realities of life, this song is filled with hope and trust. As Ryan battled a neurological disorder and their family faced severe health challenges and loss, Ryan and Wendy were ready to give up on music, and they didn't think they would ever lead worship again. It is in this setting that the song 'I Am Yours,' a prayer of surrender, became an anchor. 

Ryan & Wendy Wegner - I Am YoursThe lyrics reflect a raw, heartfelt prayer to God: "I'm right where you want me—poured out and ready—I'm here to offer my heart completely." A declaration that despite all of the chaos that life is throwing at them, it is God who is in control and who they trust without hesitation. 

The message and intent of this song is such a powerful encouragement to trust God, even when it feels like our lives are completely off course. At the same time, it reminds us that we are never alone or unseen; God walks with us, ready to guide us, and he asks for us to completely surrender. 

May 'I Am Yours' ignite a similar prayer of complete surrender in your heart, one that anchors you through any storm.

(Related scripture: Romans 12:1; Isaiah 6:8; Psalm 23:4)

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
