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)

That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"The Christ" by NewSpring Worship: Answering the Call to Confess

NewSpring Worship's new release, called "The Christ", invites us to answer Jesus' timeless question: "Who do you say that I am?" The song takes us to the scene of Mark 8:29, where Jesus and His disciples were on their way to Caesarea Philippi, and He asked His disciples: "Who do men say that I am?" After the disciples answered, Jesus turned the question around and made it personal… He asked them: "But what about you? Who do you say I am?' Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah.'" Tom, one of the members of NewSpring Worship shared: "… we want that to be a confession of every individual in our church and outside of our church. And we want that to be a confession of everybody." That's the heart of the song. Ask yourself, if you had been there together with the other disciples on that road with Jesus, what would your answer be to His question, "Who do you say that I am?" With this song, you have the oppor...
