"Psalm 6 (Tears)" by Red Letter Society: A Prayer in Every Tear


With "bones […] in agony," a "soul […] deep anguish," and "drench(ing) my couch with tears," King David refuses to let grief have the last word. What imagery! Have you ever felt like this? "Psalm 6 (Tears)" by Red Letter Society shows us that there is hope beyond the sorrow. It reminds us that it's okay to be vulnerable and that we can be very honest with God about our struggles. 

Red Letter Society - Psalm 6 (Tears)The song starts as a raw cry, mirroring the words of King David, "Heal me Lord, my bones are rubble." It's a feeling of being utterly worn out, and still knowing that this is not where the story ends. Knowing that God gives us the strength to turn our grief around, just like in the song where grief is turned into a prayer of hope. 

"Can resurrection bring you praise?", or in other words, can our lowest moments in life ultimately become a testament to God's glory? Psalm 6 answers that question. It acknowledges our pain and at the same time points us to God. 

We may bring all of our pain, fears, and tears to Him! He hears our prayers and cares about our well-being. Sorrow doesn't need to have the last word if we place our trust and faith in Him.

May Psalm 6, and the lyrics in this song, encourage you to hold onto hope and faith, and trust that God will answer your cries and restore you in His time. Your hope in God is never lost!

(Related scripture: Psalm 6:2–3; Psalm 6:6; Psalm 6:9–10)

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

"Coming Out Of Babylon" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: Finding Purpose and Joy in Christ

Robert Peterson had barely dusted off his drum kit when the Lord handed him a new setlist. Robert shares: "this current round of songs being created were different - they were all his - well sort of all his." He had decided it was time to offer up his talents to the Lord. Robert writes: "I was mortified at the thought of actually giving my life to Him. I didn't want to give up who I thought I was."   "Coming Out of Babylon" is the first song coming out of this change (one that was on the shelve a while pending creation of a intro). The result is a five-minute testimony that turns a trembling surrender into a victory march. As you listen, you can feel how this slow ache of "doing what I wanted to… without a fear" transitions into the realization that "I needed You - all the way."   What I enjoy about the song is that it helps to see "leaving" as the first step that is needed to following His calling for us. The chorus emph...
