"At That Moment" by Joseph G Tian: From the Cross to the Empty Tomb


Scars do not end the story.

“At That Moment” by Joseph G Tian starts quietly. Piano, a restrained voice, a lonely road: “Walking that road alone my Lord, with pain and cruelest words.” Joseph G Tian allows you to linger in that darkness for a few moments. You hear the crown of thorns, the wounds, the storm. Then the strings swell, the guitar lifts, and the music breaks open.

Joseph G Tian - At That Moment“Who rolled the stone? The angel sang. Now the world is wide awake.”

That change is the core story of our faith. Christ did not skip the suffering to reach the victory. He carried it, and Joseph sings: “bore my shame and took my part.” Have you ever felt that your own pain was too heavy for God to reach? Look again at the scars.

The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:11: “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”

The same power that emptied the tomb lives in you today. It reaches all of those failed plans, the grief you carry, the habits that you’re not able to shake. Don’t wait for a perfect day to believe it. Start your day by naming one burden and then handing it over to the risen King. Then go about your day as someone who has already been rescued.

Did you notice what the song never does? It never hides the scars! It sings that the King rises “shining from the scars,” and your scars can also shine.
Listen to “At That Moment” and let the song carry you from your shadows into His light. Sing along. Mean every word. “My lord at that moment, how close you are. Take me home to your kingdom.”

(Related scripture: Romans 8:11; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 28:6)

"I Will Rejoice" by Maria Segerholm: Thankful for the Sunshine and the Rain

Joy is a choice you can make today. “I Will Rejoice” by Maria Segerholm is a song of joy and praise, and her message is that joy is a choice despite the challenges we face. Maria has been called a happy person since she was a little girl. The unexpected happened, the trials came. Seasons arrived when her joy faded, and she says the enemy worked hard to steal her joy. Does that sound familiar? Those seasons didn’t last. Over the past few years, God has taught Maria what it means to rejoice in Him at all times, and this song, “I Will Rejoice”, grew from that lesson. Listen to how she sings it. Clouds try to block her light, yet she won’t stay down. Pain tries to break her praise, so she sings His Name. Fear shakes her soul, and she gives thanks “cause I know You’re good.” Notice the words that Maria uses: Clouds, pain, fear, and noise… They all “try,” but none of them win. Joy here is a choice that she makes again and again, long before her feelings catch up. The bridge pushes further....

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...

"No Other Name" by Joakim Arenius and Josef Tingbratt: Hope That Outlasts the Darkness

Darkness grips hard, but one name holds harder. Where do you turn when your strength runs out? Josef Tingbratt and Joakim Arenius wrote “No Other Name” for that moment. Their song follows a man who is “Restless weary and alone,” “So many miles from home.” Inner voices that treat him unkindly. Then a night raid brings brutal violence: “They tried to break his body down, but they could not break his crown.” Notice what he does when “darkness gets its grip.” He calls Jesus: “Jesus, Jesus hear my cry.” No fancy words, just a cry. The song grew where two struggles meet. Some believers face ridicule or violence for following Jesus. Others fight a quieter battle with loneliness and doubt. Both struggles need the same answer. Peter answered the rulers who questioned him in Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” He spoke with threats hanging over him. His confidence never rested on comfortable c...
