'Shammah' by Uniekgrace: Reconnecting with God, who is always there

Sometimes, in the middle of all the chaos of everyday life, we lose touch with God. It's easy to get caught in the routine of daily life, or even when we are doing what we believe is 'God's work.' Before we know it, we feel like we're wandering aimlessly. The lyrics in Uniekgrace's song 'Shammah' take us back to the basics, to a place where God loves and guides us. 'Shammah' means 'Jehovah is there,' and the inspiration for the song comes from Isaiah 41:10, a scripture full of promise and hope. The truth that God is always with us, even when we don't feel it, that's what this song's melody and words remind us of. The chorus says over and over, 'No more tears, no more fear, I am no longer bound to sin.' It's an important message that tells us that when we make a conscious commitment to stay tuned to God, all of our fears and doubts will go away—that's the miracle of being in His presence. The lyrics, 'You ar

Kristi's song was inspired by Dane Ortlund's book 'Gentle & Lowly'.

This song invites us to shift our perspective from despair to joy, doubt to trust, and silence to praise. In 2019, Judane's world was overshadowed by a rare vocal disorder, that seriously affected her chances to continue with her singing career.

JULEZ's "This Is Me"—A Call to Embrace Divine-Centered Growth
