"What A Friend" by Tania G: A Modern Take on a Timeless Hymn


"What A Friend" by Tania G is a fresh, modern take on a timeless hymn, reimagining its message of comfort and connection with Jesus. This is the third single from her upcoming EP of reimagined hymns, and this song reminds us Jesus is a friend who understands and shares our sorrows, bearing our burdens and offering comfort. Life brings losses and gains, but He walks with us through it all, if we let Him! 

Tania G - What A Friend"What a privilege to carry // Everything to God in prayer!" is the second key message in this song, encouraging us to bring all of our concerns, temptations, and even the pain of rejection to God in prayer. There isn't a reason why we need to bear this on our own, "O what peace we often forfeit // O what needless pain we bear // All because we do not carry // Everything to God in prayer!" 

"Can we find a friend so faithful // Who will all our sorrows share? // Cause He knows our every weakness // Take it to the Lord in prayer." Sure, He knows what is going on, even before we do, and He knows the weight we feel of life's trials, but still… He wants to hear it from us. Share them with Jesus through prayer. 

This revisited song is a beautiful invitation to lean into His compassion. Through trials, weakness, or worry, He's always near. So, when you're carrying heavy loads, may this song be a reminder that you can hand them over to Him. But it's not just the heavy loads that He is interested in, He also hopes you'll share your other thoughts as well.

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28-30; Psalm 55:22; Hebrews 4:15-16)

Skillet - Valley of Death (CCM)

Skillet has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Valley of Death. The global health crisis of the last two years has led to numerous questions regarding why bad things happen to good people. Skillet's John Cooper explains why he believes God allowed the pandemic to happen. Skillet has released their new album Dominion through Atlantic Records last Friday (Jan. 14). A discussion with 'Loudwire Nights' host Toni Gonzalez brought up the track "Valley of Death," which contains the lyrics: "Someone said this is all part of the plan / But I don't understand." Gonzalez then asked him why he thinks God would allow a pandemic. This is what Cooper said: "Well, the first answer is that we're not good people. We're all fallen and we are all in desperate need of salvation through Jesus. So, we're not actually good people, we all do bad stuff. We all cheat, we've all lied, we're all greedy and as much as the most lov...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...
