Phil Wickham says his song “The Jesus Way” is one of the closest to his heart he’s ever released. “It’s impacted my own life personally in a profound way,” he says. “For me, it’s a line-in-the-sand song about what I want to stand for and who I follow. I’m so excited to sing this song with the Church, and I’m inviting anyone and everyone who follows Jesus to join me in this anthem.”
We may try to hold it together, to stay “strong” or tough on the outside, but inwardly, we know what it feels like to be fragile. God knows that, too, and there’s relief, rest and grace in knowing that He sees us, knows us, and loves us. That’s the inspiration for Natalie Layne’s song, “Fragile.”
Evan Craft shares, “I don’t know what else to talk about in Christianity besides redemption.” His song “Chances” is a heartening reminder that God won’t give up on us; in fact, He is the God of second chances (and third and fourth…). He shares, “The Gospel is about redemption. We could not repair our relationship with God but He made a way. This song is for anyone who has felt irredeemable, lost, or far from God. The truth, thank God, is that He will never abandon you. I have seen the grace of God in my family. Many people said that God could not restore our family. Due to mistakes and failures, we would have been condemned to the abyss…but God arrived.”
Even in the craziness and chaos of life, we have Jesus. Ryan Ellis’s song “Without Jesus” helps remind us to keep that faith in Christ, no matter what may come, because we know that He is good all the time. Where would we be without Him?!
