"Everything In His Name" by Howard Gripp: A Journey from Despair to Joy and Purpose


Howard Gripp's "Everything In His Name", co-written with Erin Oakley, is a heartfelt blend of two voices that take you along on a journey from despair to joy and purpose. Despair that was felt at possibly the deepest point in someone's life, "I was lost in regret and full of pride / Contemplating taking my own life." Now imagine the 180-degree change that happened when Jesus stepped in to bring hope and purpose. So real (and relatable to some), but most important is that it reminds us that nobody is ever beyond redemption!

This song is a roadmap showing you how to align your life with His example, bringing in the joy that salvation offers, "He turned my mourning into dancing again / I've tasted and I've seen His goodness over me." 

What makes this track more special is how the voices have blended together, showing us the beauty of unity, a unity that we may also experience in faith as we become stronger together in Christ. May this powerful message and infectious energy inspire you to live boldly for Him.
