“You Still Hear” by Howard Gripp: When Words Fail, God Listens


Sometimes, life can be so heavy that words fail. That's where Howard Gripp starts with his new song "You Still Hear." "You Still Hear" is a tender and emotional song about finding comfort and security in God, even during those quiet, tear-filled moments when we don't even know what to pray. But instead of this ending in silence, we find hope in Him who is always there and able to hear even the unspoken cries of our heart. 

Howard Gripp - You Still HearHoward Gripp doesn't try to sweet-talk you into thinking that the situation isn't as bad as it may seem. He lets the pain be real. "Pain runs so deep // With no words to speak," and then he repeats this gentle truth: God hears us even when we can't say anything. Our God isn't distant. He's the Good Shepherd who holds us, leads us to rest, and reassures us in the midst of our sorrows. 

The chorus feels like a warm embrace, "If my prayers turn to tears // You still hear," and we may feel His warm hand on our trembling hearts. And the bridge? It's simple and powerful: "You are the One // That I lean on." Nothing fancy, just pointing us to a God whom we may approach with all our doubts and fears. The God who welcomes us in His arms, loves us, comforts us, and leads us.

Whether you're hurting or hoping, this song deserves a listen. May it remind you that you're never unheard, even in our most broken moments.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:1-4; Romans 8:26; Psalm 39:12)

"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....
