"The Greatness of You" by InHymn: Marveling at God’s Power and Personal Love


InHymn's "The Greatness of You" is a beautiful song that captures the duality of God's power and His personal love for us. The lyrics invite us to stop what we're doing and marvel at His handiwork—"the stars above, the thunder's roll"—while also reflecting on His ultimate act of love: sending His Son to bear our pain and wash away our sins. With lyrics such as "How great You are, in every way," you realize that the song is more than observing God's greatness, it's also an invitation to experience it personally.

InHymn - The Greatness of YouThe song was born from a quiet moment during a stormy summer evening, as the songwriter watched the storm unfold: "From my sheltered seat, I watched the storm unfold and was deeply moved by the reminder that the same God who created the storms, the wind, and the rain—who still commands them today—loves ME. So much, in fact, that He sent His only Son to die on a cross for my multitude of sins. ME… a person who means nothing to the world but who is loved without limits by the God of everything. And this same loving God, who reigns over heaven and earth, is the one I will one day meet face-to-face." 

The Creator of thunder and wind loves each of us individually, and this is a beautiful way to remind each other of our calling to share God's love and be the kind of person that sparks curiosity in non-believers. It's lines like "Your love, it shines, it never fades" that emphasize our faith in His unchanging grace and encourage us to look to Him at all times, no matter what we are facing in our lives.

May this song be an invitation to worship deeply and find ways to share more about Him with others. If you've ever doubted your significance or God's care, may this song help you to shift your point of view and see His gifts for all who include God in their lives.

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
