Thankfully Christian - I Am A Child Of God (EP)Tragically, he lost his parents while he was young and turned to Christ with full dedication and found his purpose in sharing God's love through music. This EP reflects his connection with God, making this EP a joyful declaration of his identity in Him. 

The lyrics of these songs are filled with confidence and gratitude, reminding us of our place as beloved children of God. Here is a summary of the message and intent of each song:

  1. Take It To The Cross is an upbeat track that encourages us to surrender sin, embrace faith, and follow Jesus daily. With a catchy refrain, it reminds us to live in His light, guided by grace, love, and truth, as we pursue His purpose and lift everything to the cross.
  2. Living Water, Eternal Life highlights our longing for spiritual fulfillment and the freedom that we can only find in Christ's love.

  4. Do Not Fear is a reassuring song based on Psalm 23. It reminds us of God's constant presence and care. The lyrics use the imagery that we also find in this Psalm, the imagery of still waters, dark valleys, and overflowing blessings, to encourage us to place our trust in His guidance, find comfort in His protection, and face life's challenges without fear.
  5. Awaken My Soul is a worship song that invites us to stand up and celebrate God's unending love and mercy. The lyrics make use of imagery of morning dew, sheltering wings, and radiant light, intended to remind us that His presence renews our spirit, chases away fear, and fills our hearts to overflow, regardless if we are facing times of joy or pain.

"Gravity Of Grace" by Carli Lessing: The Pull You Can't Outrun

Can His grace really pull you back when you’ve drifted this far?  Gravity never asks permission. Drop something, anything, and it falls back to earth without effort or argument. Carli Lessing compares gravity with the way that grace works. You don’t fight your way back into God’s reach. He pulls you there.  The lyrics open with a familiar confession: “I don’t need to run away, hiding from the truth.” Running doesn’t hide anything from God anyway. He “sees every last mistake and selfish path I choose,” and despite that, He stays put. Carli admits she still catches herself trying to earn what God already gave away. That instinct runs deep in all of us. We dress up our effort and call it faith, all while missing the actual gift that is sitting in front of us.  Look at Ephesians 2:8–9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”   Grace isn’t a result of our wo...

"Guard My Heart From Lies" by whispering HOPE: Fully Changed, Fully His, Fully Free

When the lies crowd in, where do you run for truth? There is a whisper that knows exactly when to show up in your head. You hear it in the quiet moments — when doubt creeps in, when old wounds resurface, when confusion floods the mind before you have had a chance to stand firm. whispering HOPE wrote “Guard My Heart From Lies” from the very place where our battles for truth are fought, not on a stage but in the silence of your own thoughts. The song opens with a striking scene: “There’s a whisper at the window, speaking shadows to my mind, trying hard to steal the promise of the life You said was mine.” This enemy doesn’t need to shout. A whisper is more than enough to trigger the rest, unless you know whose voice to follow. And that is the reminder found in this song: “I don’t have to strive for rest, Your finished work has called me blessed.” This kind of rest isn’t something you earn or give yourself after a hard week. It is already yours. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes this clear: “If a...

"Thank God I'm Not" by We the Least: Why Your Limitations Are a Gift From God

Relief lives in knowing your limits. Imagine waking up tomorrow and being responsible for everything. Literally everything! Every language. Every cry for help. Every government, every planet, every orbit, every heartbeat — it’s yours to manage, alone, forever. Now, that idea is quite overwhelming and would probably feel like a nightmare, isn’t it? We the Least captured that overwhelming thought in their song “Thank God I’m Not,” a song that turns our human limitations into another reason to worship. The message of the song is simple and liberating: God does a much better job at being God than we ever could!  The lyrics walk us through the impossible math of omnipotence —  “I’d have to hold the universe and make the planet spin with my own two hands.” No sleep. No rest. Being present everywhere, absolutely right every time, and being the greatest by a long shot. Just listing it down is exhausting, but that exhaustion and overwhelm are exactly the point that Skylar is trying to make...
