Vanessa Mitchell - Love Will Remain
Vanessa was inspired to write the song after experiencing a transcendent reality two months after her father died. She was overcome with grief and sobbing uncontrollably, as if she were in a deep ditch. She felt her father's presence at that moment, as if he was giving her a warm hug from behind. She heard his voice, which sounded similar to her own, but she knew it was him speaking to her. He spoke soothing words of comfort and love to her, assuring her that only love would remain.

The song's lyrics were inspired by this transcendent moment, when the words her father spoke transformed into a melody. Vanessa believes she wrote the song with her father, and she sees it as a gift from him at a time when she needed it the most. She hopes that the song will bring comfort to others who are going through a difficult time, and that it will be a soothing balm for their heart's invisible wound.

The lyrics of the song are simple but powerful, offering words of comfort and support to anyone in grief. The chorus reiterates the message that only love will remain, reminding listeners that only love can truly heal a broken heart. The song expresses the pain of loss while also offering hope for the future and the promise that the pain will pass.

Vanessa Mitchell's 'Love Will Remain' is a lovely and inspiring song that deserves to be heard. The song's message of love and hope is sure to resonate with anyone who hears it, whether you are going through a difficult time yourself or want to offer comfort to someone else. So, take a moment to listen to this stirring anthem and allow its message of comfort and hope to wash over you.

"Clothed With Dignity" by Grace Frances: Trading Shame for a New Identity

Your worth was never up for negotiation.  Grace Frances wrote “Clothed With Dignity” from a place most of us recognize (in some form or other) but will rarely admit out loud. She carried old regrets like a second skin, calling herself names that her past mistakes didn’t deserve. “I demonize the girl I was, when she was just trying to survive,” she sings, and that line hurts. Haven’t we all judged ourselves for choices that we made while simply trying to get through the day? Even choices that seemed to be fine in the moment, but proved to be otherwise over time.  Grace’s breakthrough didn't come from fixing herself, but from surrendering… surrendering to God. “You clothe me with dignity,” she declares, describing a moment where self-condemnation lost its grip and grace took over.  Grace’s story is fairly similar to the story found in Isaiah 61:10 —  “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; h...

"Just Believe" by For Him: When Doubt Isn't Disqualifying

Can you believe without having all the answers? Some people wait at the edge of faith for years, arms crossed, waiting to feel ready. “Just Believe” was written by For Him for exactly that person — the one who wants to trust Jesus but still carries a list of questions. The song grew out of that in-between space, where doubt and faith sit side-by-side and neither one of them wins outright. Gritty Southern-rock guitars carry lyrics that ask a two-thousand-year-old question: “Could Love have worn a human face?” The answer to that question brings purpose and comfort to our lives. The song doesn’t demand certainty before you move. It invites wonder instead. “You don’t have to shape your future // He begins where you can’t reach.” The message and intent of this song make it clear that you don’t need to figure out everything first before you can take a step toward God.  A man quoted in the gospel of Mark understood this tension better than most of us. Desperate for his son to be healed,...

"I've Got Joy" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Why Joy Isn't the Same as Happiness

Sorrow and joy can share the same room. “I’ve Got Joy” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was triggered by a telephone call. Tyler reconnected with an old friend who’d been going through a period of loneliness. Tyler shares: “We talked at length about the season of loneliness he was experiencing, and we discussed a few other topics that are reflected in the verses.” This triggered Tyler to tackle this concept of having Joy, and it became clear that “I’ve Got Joy” isn’t the same as “I’ve Got Happiness” . Joy is more than happiness, and it certainly isn’t a painted-on smile. Tyler makes that distinction on purpose, because he’s writing about the nights he spent “down to my last prayer,” and about sitting “in a room full of people” while feeling completely invisible. He’s writing about all of the kneeling and “begging for the answer to a question I can’t speak.” That’s real, and that’s most of us, on our worst weeks. The chorus takes us back to “joy”. Tyler sings: “I’ve got joy in my lungs, ye...
