"You Came And Found Me" by Recovered Crown: A Journey from Pain to Purpose


"You Came And Found Me" by Recovered Crown is about the healing God brought after having been trapped in a cycle of deeply hurtful relationships for years and the strength she found to truly step into her calling. She experienced harmful relationships as a child and as an adult, and reached a point where she was completely exhausted. "I didn't know how much of myself I had lost trying to survive," she shares. "But even in the darkest moments, God never stopped pursuing me." 

Recovered Crown - You Came And Found MeThe song reflects the change God brought into her life: "In a desperate state, in a broken place // You came and found me." It's not only a song for anyone who has been in similar situations but also for anyone who feels abandoned or even voiceless. There is always hope, "You're all that I need and so much more." It's God who truly heals, and He is always within your reach, no matter how bad the situation looks: "Hallelujah, I am restored in your presence // Hallelujah, I come alive in you Jesus." 

This song also has a message for those who are currently in a good place… look around you. Let God guide you to those who are in a bad place and point them to God. He is there, He has already found you, He wants to be part your life… all it takes is to open your heart and invite Him in. That is the truth that we may share. 

Co-written with Erskin Anavitarte, Rachel Barrentine, and Steffin Pasakarnis, and produced by Stephen Leiweke, the song brings hope to everyone that feels lost or broken. May this song remind you that His unwavering love is always within your reach.

(Related scripture: Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 61:1; Luke 19:10)

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...

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith. The opening line, "How wonderful is the cross of Christ,"  draws us into praise.  The song invites us to repentance and faith, but more importantly, the lyrics magnify the Trinity: the Father's eternal plan, the Son's sacrifice, and the Spirit's ongoing work in us. The song celebrates how every part of God is involved in redeeming us!  Have you ever wondered how a song can feel so unifying? That's the beauty of this song! It calls us, the Church, to stand together in bold praise. Instead of focusing on what divides us, it points us upwards, looking to our God who is glorious in love, power, and purpose. It encourages us to see the love of the Father, the blood of the Son, and how it is applied by the Holy Spirit.  There's no abstract theology in this song… the ...

"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....
