"This Too Shall Pass" by Chuks Morah: God Is Not Done With You


Trials may come, but God is not finished.

“This Too Shall Pass” by Chuks Morah started as a country beat from a Nashville producer. He sped it up, added a fiddle, swapped the drums for hand claps, and stacked his vocals until the chorus sounds like a whole church singing. The sound is bright. The message is tender.

Chuks Morah - This Too Shall PassChuks wrote it for the brokenhearted, and for anyone who is sitting in a hospital corridor waiting for news. The phrase “this too shall pass” is credited to King Solomon, and Abraham Lincoln carried it into the darkest days of the American Civil War. Chuks gives it a firmer footing: “Trials may come, I will not be afraid.”

How do you sing that when your heart is breaking? James (the half-brother of Jesus) offers a starting place. He writes, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” (James 1:2–3). Joy here isn’t a forced smile. It is the quiet confidence that nothing you face is wasted, because God is working inside it.

Think about the hardest times you’ve faced so far. You survived it. Somewhere in the middle, you also grew stronger, kinder, or more dependent on prayer than you ever planned to be.

Tell God in prayer what today’s trial is all about, and then thank Him for what He has already done. Take a moment to read James chapter 1 today and write down one of the ways that you’ve seen Him show up before.
The chorus of the song answers fear with a promise: “God is good, all the time.” That promise holds on your worst day.

Listen to “This Too Shall Pass”. Let the fiddle lift you, and the clapping of hands remind you that you are not carrying this alone. “God’s not done with you. Don’t give up now.”

(Related scripture: James 1:2-3; Philippians 1:6; Psalm 30:5)

Background:

A new song I composed. The famous quote "this too shall pass" is attributed to King Solomon and made famous by Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. 

I bought a country beat from a country producer in Nashville, Tennessee. I modified it by speeding up the tempo, adding the violin/fiddle, removing the drums and replacing them with hand claps, and writing contemporary Christian lyrics to go with it. 

This is a song of encouragement, to give hope to the brokenhearted and to tell those who are going through difficult times (including medical emergencies) not to give up because Gods not done yet. The famous quote "this too shall pass" is attributed to King Solomon and made famous by Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. I used a vocal stacking technique to deliver the lyrics.

Release date: November 10, 2026

"You Are Holy" by Spirit Worship: Honest Worship When Hope Runs Thin

Honest worship starts exactly where your pain is. Years of loss pushed the songwriter behind “You Are Holy” into a wilderness. Loved ones died, jobs and homes disappeared, health and finances faltered, and a church plant that failed. Most worship songs felt dishonest to him during that season, so the Psalms became his lifeline. “You Are Holy” sits down beside you and tells the truth. “It’s hard to be patient with nothing but time.” “It’s hard to be hopeful when everything dies.” Have you ever whispered something like that? That’s okay, it’s what we do next that makes a difference! “Yet though I am suffering, I’ll trust in Your name.” David faced that same kind of challenge in Psalm 13. He opens with “How long, O LORD?” and lands here: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” His circumstances barely moved between the first verse and verse five, but his gaze did. You can do the same today. Be honest with God. Tell Him exactly how heavy e...

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...
