"Grace Found Me" by KIDJAZ: How Grace Rescues and Restores


"Grace Found Me" by KIDJAZ is a very personal and relatable song about the redemption that came after battling a 15-year opioid addiction that started after knee surgery. Roy Gonzales is the artist behind the name KIDJAZ, and this song is a testament to how God's grace found him when he needed it most. Roy shares that you shouldn't give up, even if life looks dark for you. You can overcome! Jesus is there for you!

KIDJAZ - Grace Found MeRoy grew up as a preacher's kid, he knew 'about' God, but he didn't know God. Even though he was in a horrible dark place in his life, he learned that God doesn't look at our failures… God looks at our potential! What Roy experienced with God's transformative love was something so different that it completely changed his life.

Roy captures the power of God's grace in the lyrics: "Was lost, confused / My life I couldn't navigate… Now made solid, rebuilt / With God's amazing grace." He also describes the healing that came once he surrendered—"Healed the wounds / Wiped tears from my eyes." We need to realize that it is by His grace that we are saved, and grace is His gift to us, one that comes through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8–9). In return we express our gratitude, "Grace, it saved me / Real talk, no lie."

What makes this track special is its authenticity—this is not some theory based on scripture research. It is based on a real-life situation filled with darkness and plenty of excuses that keep us in darkness. This is a story of hope, where His grace finds us when we need it the most. His grace truly changes everything if you are willing to let go and be healed.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Isaiah 43:2)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Forever" by Randy Wade: The God Who Has Always Been

The King who reigns forever also reigns over you. Before a single star burned in the sky, before the first mountain rose from the earth, God was. Worship Pastor and Contemporary Christian songwriter Rev. Randy Wade captures this in his song “Forever”, a song built on the unshakeable and eternal nature of God. “Before the mountains were lifted high, before the stars gave light to the sky, You O Lord have always been, the One with no beginning and no end.”   Randy wrote “Forever” to point our hearts toward Christ. The song pulls your gaze off the noise of daily life and fixes it on the One who exists outside of time. We have a God who doesn’t react to circumstances, but One who reigns above them. Revelation 1:8 declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This scripture isn’t just a declaration; it can also be read as a personal promise. It is the same God who holds eternity in His hands who also holds your uncerta...
