Ben Buhler - By My Side (CEDM)


I'm writing about Ben Buhler's Christian EDM track 'By My Side,' and I'm struck by how powerful the lyrics are. The lyrics take me to a place of reflection and gratitude for God's constant love and presence in our lives.

'By My Side' is a song about feeling lost and alone, but also knowing that God is always by our side no matter what. The lyrics are very personal, and they speak to the daily struggles that many of us face. Buhler sings in the first verse about being alone in a corner, wondering why no one is home, and feeling lost and afraid. However, when he turns to God, everything changes.

Ben Buhler - By My SideThe song's chorus is extremely powerful, and it conveys a message that we all need to hear. Buhler sings about not wanting to go another day without God and how God will always be there for him. He admits that he has no idea where he would be without God, but he knows he would be living a lie. It serves as a powerful reminder that no matter what we face, we can always turn to God for comfort and strength.

The song's second verse is equally powerful, with Buhler singing about how he will never be alone because God is always close by. He explains how God is with us in the rain and storm, and how He always makes it clear that He is there for us. The imagery in this verse is incredibly vivid, and it demonstrates Buhler's songwriting power.

If you're looking for a song to lift your spirits and remind you of God's love and presence in your life, I highly recommend giving 'By My Side' a listen. You won't be sorry.

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...
