"In Your Presence" by Sandra Lamb: Peace Found In A Sacred Space


Sandra Lamb released a beautiful song called "In Your Presence." The lyrics are about finding peace and joy in God's presence, and here comes the challenging part… no matter what happens. In this song, Sandra creates a beautiful atmosphere of worship and intimacy. She sings, "In Your presence I find peace // Through the stormy days // I feel Your warm embrace," repeating Isaiah 26:3. This is one of the most famous and most loved verses in all of Isaiah, and with good reason. 

Sandra Lamb - In Your PresenceIsaiah says to those in the present (that's you and me) that "perfect peace" is possible here and now. The Lord provides this to those whose minds are focused on the Lord through trusting in Him. The song also reminds us that perfect peace is not a state without any anxiety at all, or one where life is always easy and perfect. Sandra sings about an internal peace, a feeling of confident contentment that is completely independent of circumstances. It is a mind that is focused on trusting the Lord to provide all that is needed in the present, the future, and for our salvation. 

"In Your presence I find peace // Through the happy days // I feel Your joy in praise," highlighting that this peace and joy comes from having a relationship with Him. This is a relationship that we need to cling to: "When I think of Your love // And I think of Your grace // I'm holding on to You." 

There is a beautiful pledge in this song, one that hopefully will also be yours to repeat: "Whenever You call // I will answer You // Speak to my heart // And I will hear Your voice." May the message of this song and the essence of Isaiah 26:3 help you to seek and cherish God's presence in every part of your daily life.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 16:11; 1 Samuel 3:9)

"The Perfect Man" by Kaylyn Sahs: Finding the Only One Who Never Fails

(by Jasper Tan) “The Perfect Man” is a very beautiful love song by Kaylyn Sahs. I’ve never heard such a beautiful love song written for Jesus that is very relatable, and that truly defines how it is to be loved. Jesus is the only perfect Man who can fulfill our hearts and complete us. His Love is the only kind of Love that we all should desire to have. A lot of the people out there who are still searching to find love and find the perfect partner that they could spend their life with should listen to this song. The song helps to define the type of person they should be looking for and not settle for anything less, because we truly deserve someone who could love them that is as pure as Jesus.  Kaylyn shares that this song is her personal testimony of finding a love that never fails or walks away. And like most people out there who are still in the process of finding love, Kaylyn has also been there, patiently waiting for the perfect partner to come into her life and complete her, on...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"Sometime" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: God always finds us

(by Jasper Tan) In the tradition of our favorite CCM rock anthems from the 90's and early 2000's (the Jars of Clay and Vertical Horizon come to mind), Robert Peterson and The Crusade's recently released single, called "Sometime," is a joyful experience to listen to. This is a rock song that speaks about waiting and being prepared for the right moment to be called by Jesus. It comes from a place where the miracle and the sudden arrival of God in our lives are always unpredictable. But when we are ready, God will find us. The lyricism of the song is written in such a way that there are double meanings and vague messages. I understand the artistic decision to write this in such a manner. I always believe that evangelism isn't always straightforward, and there is definitely not a one-size-fits-all approach. Sometimes people who have yet to encounter Jesus in their lives may feel resistance and apathy towards the truth of Jesus' love for us, but are open to mes...
