"How Great Thou Art" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Wordless Melodies for Healing and Connection


From an early age, John Long has been involved in music in multiple capacities. He is a singer, songwriter, and studio producer at Arrow Point Studio in Kansas City. He is known around the world through his success on the Fiverr platform. John leads worship with Revive Music at the Revive Church in Kansas City. 

Gethsemane Instrumental - How Great Thou ArtThe Hymn Devotional (Vol. 1) EP is the start of a new project called Gethsemane Instrumental. John shares, "Wordless melodies are often what help people connect to the Holy Spirit in their secret place. This project aims to aid that connection with songs that are made for and made by secret place encounter. 

Our lives are better when we spend time with the Lord alone, not just on Sunday morning. Healing is found in that place. Comfort in grief is found there. Fulfillment like you've never known is there. I pray this project helps people connect to all of those things, but also helps deepen a real relationship with Jesus."

The EP is a collection of slowed instrumental renditions of 4 well-known hymns (plus an extended version of each hymn). These tracks are beautifully made and have been slowed down to 50–60 bpm.

  • How Great Thou Art
  • Holy, Holy, Holy
  • Turn Your Eyes
  • I Love You Lord
  • How Great Thou Art (Extended)
  • Holy, Holy, Holy (Extended)
  • Turn Your Eyes (Extended)

"Set Free" by Kristin Ambuhl: Naming Your Real Enemy

What battle are you really fighting today?   Some enemies wear a smile. Kristin Ambuhl calls this out in her song “Set Free”. The song calls these enemies a “favorite shadow” who’s “throwin’ words like daggers” while “hiding behind your laughter.” This is much more than a person who is being difficult. Kristin wrote this song about the daily spiritual battles we face as believers — battles found in arrogant people, dark influences, and forces that work to pull us away from who God made us to be. Whether it’s small fights or big ones, she’s naming them all.  The song doesn’t stay stuck in the shadows. Kristin declares, “I’ve been set apart, I’ve been set free, from my enemies, against dark powers, rulers, and authorities.” Part of that line echoes Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” W...

"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...
