"Krystal Dawn Land" by Mid-Broken Sea: When Faith Meets the Impossible


What does it feel like to stand at the edge of one of life's stormy seas, wondering if God sees you there? The seed for "Mid-Broken Sea" by Krystal Dawn Land was planted one early morning in March of 2024, somewhere between a deep sleep and waking up, when Krystal saw the words, "Mid-Broken Sea" appearing one letter at a time across white paper in an old typewriter. As she saw this title, she saw a sketch of ocean waves on each side. This picture kept coming back to mind throughout the following year. As the lyrics and melody shaped, the story danced between Biblical accounts and current ongoings of those we pray will trust God's hand and allow Him to lead them through their Broken Sea. 

Mid-Broken Sea - Krystal Dawn LandThe message of this song isn't one of abstract theology. It's a practical lifeline for anyone who is going through one of life's storms and it places God center stage: "I'm trying to show you my hand, to lead you to the Promise Land." Notice the invitation to partner with God: "Step out and walk with me, faith is all you need." 

The song acknowledges our brokenness, names it fully. "In the middle of the broken sea" isn't a place of abandonment, but a place of encounter. A place where our deepest fears part like waves. It's a song that pulses with that hope, encouraging us to "Look beyond the waves, hear beyond the noise, seas become dry land when you follow my voice." That dry land is His triumph, because "I'll make a way when there's no way, trust me and obey… In the middle of the broken sea, I'm in the middle of the broken sea." 

God shows up when waters run deepest. His hand is extended right now, in your storm. May this song remind you that you have the power to trust, obey, and step forward. Your sea has a middle - but so does your Savior.

Background:

One early morning in March of 2024, somewhere between a deep sleep and waking up, I saw the words, “Mid-Broken Sea” appearing one letter at a time across white paper in an old typewriter. As I saw this title, I saw a sketch of ocean waves on each side. Pondering what this could mean, I jotted the dream in a journal. My husband and I had just finished a new study that included the journey of the Israelites. In other times of reading and prayer, we were also praying over loved ones and situations. Throughout the year, ‘Mid-Broken Sea’ would come into my mind, but unlike other songs that came quickly, this one stirred within my spirit for quite some time. The title, a design, messages, and connections came, but the lyrics, melody, and musical arrangement did not surface until nearly a year later. As the lyrics and melody came to be, the story danced between Biblical accounts and current ongoings of those we pray will trust God’s hand and allow Him to lead them through their Broken Sea.

Release date: March 27, 2026

"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...
