"Need You" by Ben Buhler: Anchored in Divine Dependence


Looking for a song that describes how you can feel overwhelmed and desperate for God's presence? Then Ben Buhler's "Need You" is for you! Wrapped in electronic beats, Ben Buhler and Josh Snyder Music beautifully put their finger on the tension there is between faith and fear and link it to the chaos of life… the chaos of running wild, losing direction, and carrying around what we feel as heavy burdens. "I been running wild tryina do my thing // Getting lost who am I meant to be," they sing, voicing a struggle that many listeners will also know all too well.

Ben Buhler - Need YouBen and Josh don't shy away from vulnerability: "I'm stuck in my bed and I'm lost in my head // Focused on that storm instead of doing what you said." The best thing to do when anxiety screams loud in our lives is to look upward and ask God for help, "God I need you in my life // Heal this hurt inside." There is nothing wrong or weak about surrendering to God and asking Him to silence the noise with His peace. 

There's hope and strength in surrender! "With you I have what I need // Provider protector my everything," they declare. Even in the darkest moments of our lives, it is the flame of God's presence that lights the way for us. Follow His light, let Him lead, "All I need is you!"

May this song remind you where true strength is found and that it is always within your reach!

(Related scripture: Psalm 46:1-2; Matthew 11:28-30; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...
