"Turn To Him" by Julia Igwe: A Heartfelt Call to Seek Jesus


“Turn To Him” by Julia Igwe is a personal reminder for anyone who is feeling weighed down by the struggles and weight that life can cause. Julia shares her story of how she was lost. She encourages us to see that true salvation isn’t found in empty promises or temporary fixes, but in Jesus. The lyrics share the pain she felt, as well as the shame and exhaustion. It’s in these moments that giving up seems so tempting. Julia doesn’t leave you there. She gently calls you to look upward, turn to Jesus, because He is the one who sees your tears and hears your cries. He wants to bring His peace into your life if you let Him.

Julia Igwe - Turn To HimJulia is convinced, “He wants to dry all of your tears,” and “He will part through the sea,” now that she too has experienced God’s loving power to rescue and restore in her own life. She encourages us to call out to Jesus in prayer, knowing He’s ready to wrap us in His love and fill our lives with true joy.

This song is a simple and yet powerful nudge to stop searching for love and happiness elsewhere. Those surrogates will not satisfy like Jesus can. Turn to our Savior! He promises to be everything we need and brings us hope and the fullness of life.

“Turn To Him” was the song Julia needed to hear when she was lost. May this help you focus on Him alone, and remember that Jesus loves you.

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28-29; John 14:6; Psalm 34:17-18)

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

Red Letter Society - Image (Our Praise) (CCM)

"Image," by Rede Letter Society carries a profound message that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas and the revelation of God's character through Jesus. I encourage you to take a moment and listen to this beautiful song.  "Image" was originally intended to be a non-typical Christmas song, devoid of the traditional elements associated with the holiday season. Instead, it focuses on the significance of Jesus as the image of the invisible God. When we look at Jesus, we catch a glimpse of God's character and His desires for us. This realization brings reassurance and dispels any notion of God being distant or unknowable. The lyrics beautifully depict the revelation of God through Jesus, highlighting His majesty and reign. Red Letter Society poetically expresses the profound truth that Jesus, the Savior planned before time, is the Messiah present before our very eyes. It's a reminder of the eternal nature of God, who reveals Himself to us so that we may ...

"GREATER THAN THE GRAVE 2026 - Remaster" by Josh Clay: Overcoming Walls and Giants

Have you ever felt like your heart’s gone cold, walls built high like Jericho’s? That’s where Josh Clay’s journey began with his song “Greater Than The Grave”, a song first released in 2022. It was the first song he ever released as an artist, and it’s also the first song that made him say … “yeah, this is my sound!” Years have passed since this song was born, and Josh Clay still sings it with conviction, giving him a good reason to release a remastered version.  Josh shares that this song came after watching a Beatles documentary, where they were explaining that they had 14 days to write 14 songs. He decided right there and then to adopt the same challenge. On the second day of this challenge, while practicing for church, Josh just started singing: “no mountain that may come my way,” and then mumbled something about a grave. In the next 30 minutes, he had the basis for “Greater than the grave”. Josh recalls that this is the song that gave him wings to fly, and without it, t...
