"Hands in the Air" by Josh Snyder Music: Freedom Through Worship


"Hands in the Air" by Josh Snyder Music is a high-energy song (CEDM genre) that captures the moment of full surrender, shaking off feelings of fear, and lifting our hands in worship and victory for our Lord and Savior. The song was inspired by times of spiritual battles and moments of doubt and makes it clear that you have the power to choose trust over fear, a freedom that nobody can take away from you! 

Josh Snyder Music - Hands in the AirThe first line of the song, "This life, so fragile right now," describes the inner struggles that we often try to hide. And, in the same breath, Josh declares, "Took my fears, that's it I surrender. My God, you are my defender!" What a powerful invitation to let go of our pride, fear, and confusion and lift up our hands in worship! And Josh makes the package even more complete by blending his message with punchy synths. 

The chorus, "Let me see, let me see your hands in the air!" not only encourages us to celebrate, but it also reminds us that Christ is the only path to freedom. Enjoy the vibe while dancing and singing "Only by Your grace can I make it through" and "Break our chains, receive our praise." Our Lord deserves all the praise! "All for You… Share the news. This is all for You!"

May this song have you dancing with "Hands in the Air" and declaring His goodness. Don't miss it!

(Related scripture: Psalm 149:3; Isaiah 41:10; Romans 12:1)

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...
