MercyMe somehow found a way to throw a funeral for death with their song “Oh Death,” which celebrates the idea that we don’t have to be afraid of death, because the power of the cross has taken away its sting.
When believers gather, we’re not just a group of people singing in an empty room, but King Jesus is present with us, ready to set people free. Phil Wickham’s song “The King Is In The Room” is an anthem of worship meant to set the stage for church gatherings, reminding us that Jesus’ presence brings transformation, freedom, and life.
From the soundtrack to the series “House of David,” NEEDTOBREATHE’s song “I’ve Got A Story” reminds us that everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes in those bleak chapters, we can find it hard to hold on to hope. But when we reframe our disappointments, we remember that God is at work in redeeming us. Sometimes beauty and brokenness can exist in the same place. Struggle, perseverance, reflection, triumph. God is at work and can turn your pain into victory.
“God has shown up for me in times when I had no idea what to do or how to pick myself up or even when I didn’t want to get out of bed,” shares Rachel Purcell. “I feel like I wrote the song ‘Show Up’ for ‘future me’ as much as I wrote it for ‘present me.’ I’m praying this song will be helpful for a lot of people, meeting them where they’re at, like it met me.”
