"Victory" by Jillian Schafer - Breaking Chains, Finding Freedom


Jillian Schafer's "Victory" is an amazing song, not just the lyrics, but also how this was created. Jillian shares, "One evening in the living room, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and inspiration wash over me. It was as if the Holy Spirit was guiding my heart and hands. In just 30–45 minutes, the song "Victory" poured out of me a process that usually takes me hours or days."

Jillian Schafer - VictoryThe song is a celebration of Christ's triumph over sin and death, but even more important, it has a major message for you… right here and now! It's simple… it's an open invitation for you to ask God to be part of your life. This is how His sacrifice will also apply to you.

It's easy to see Jesus' sacrifice: "Wrongfully accused, willfully abused, heart-broken and bruised." You will hear Jillian sing about the hope that He brings, "A perfect sacrifice, Victory!" The lyrics take us to the time of Adam and Eve to remind us of how humanity fell and go from there to the freedom we may receive through His mercy: "Death cannot win, neither can sin, through Him, if we let Him in."

"… if we let Him in…," that's the key! You, me, we… we all need His victory to be part of our lives. We can sing and thank Him all day for His sacrifice and still ignore His call to action. His victory is yours if you open your heart, embrace His love, and step into the life He offers. May your heart and mind open the door to let Him in. He is already there and wants you to be part of His unshakable victory.

(Related scripture: Romans 5:12, 17-19; 1 Corinthians 15:54-57; Hebrews 2:14-15)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"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.

"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 ...
