"Before The Throne of God Above" by Alex & Rachel Inman: A Strong and Perfect Plea


Your name is written on His hands.

Guilt gets loud at 3 a.m. It reads out every failure in order, then asks who you think you are.

Alex & Rachel Inman answer that inner voice with a hymn. Their 2026 release of “Before the Throne of God Above” is the third hymn of their year, with warm acoustic instruments that carry a male and a female voice as they trade the lead. The old words of the hymn stay untouched, and they still land hard.

The song admits that the fight is real: Alex & Rachel Inman - Before The Throne of God Above“When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within.” It also answers: “Upward I look and see Him there, who made an end of all my sin.” Notice where the eyes go. Not inward, where the evidence against us piles up, but upward!

Scripture says the same thing in Hebrews 7:25: “Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” Always! Not just on your good days. Right now, Jesus is speaking for you before the Father, and He never runs out of breath.

How does this change tomorrow morning? It changes a lot! You can stop auditioning for His grace. You can name a failure without being flattened by it. You can walk into a hard day, knowing that your standing has already been settled by His blood, not by your performance.

So when the accuser opens your file, look up to God. Say the lyric out loud: “My name is graven on His hands.” Listen to this song and let Alex & Rachel Inman sing this back to you. Hymns do that. They carry the truth, even when your own voice is tired. “With Christ my Savior and my God.”

(Related scripture: Hebrews 7:25; Isaiah 49:16; Romans 8:1)

"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...
