"Finally Happy" by k4g3: A Joyful Surrender


This deep house track by k4g3 hits differently than k4g3's previous tracks. The lyrics are about feeling a childlike joy that comes from deciding to bend your knee and follow Jesus. Most of us are searching for happiness all over the place. We chase fleeting thrills and allow life's distractions to consume us. We find all of these shiny things to latch onto, we give them so much of our precious time and energy, and we always end up disappointed. We throw that shiny thing aside, and simply repeat the same process over and over again, chasing the next shiny thing and end up disappointed...

k4g3 - Finally HappyK4g3 flips the script with a backstory straight from the heart. He talks about stopping this endless hunt for temporary satisfactions and embracing a deeper peace by embracing a Father in heaven who loves us, who sent his only son to give us His good news of salvation. That's the key message of the song: accept that true freedom comes from bending the knee and stop chasing the next shiny fad.

"Finally happy, finally free // The Lord came to me // He showed me what I could be," that is the change of heart and mind that God brings. K4gs invites you to swap the chains for wings and discover that God is the source of happiness and love that surpasses all things. True freedom waits for us in our surrender.

May this track remind you that His joy is just a prayer away. Enjoy!

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"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. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "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 ...
