Perry Lahaie - Crashed Into Grace (CCM)


Perry Lahaie's song 'Crashed Into Grace' is a powerful testimony of God's amazing grace and the transformational power of Jesus Christ. The song is a reminder that no matter how far we may have strayed from God, He is always waiting with open arms to welcome us back into His loving embrace.

The background of the song reveals Perry's personal experience of shame and how it almost ruined his life. As a teenager, he struggled with pursuing his own selfish desires and was wounded deeply by shame. He believed that what he had done was who he was and who he would always be. Despite having started following Jesus at the age of 10 and experiencing an amazing filling of the Holy Spirit at 16, the wounds of shame continued to poison him.

One night while playing pick-up hoops at the Rec Center in Cheboygan, MI, Perry suffered a devastating injury when he landed on someone's foot while going for a rebound. He was in excruciating pain, and his friends had to carry him home and lay him on the couch. It was then that he asked his mother to pray for him.

As his mother prayed, Perry felt a warmth in his ankle, and the pain disappeared instantly. He was amazed that Jesus would heal him, knowing every dark secret of his life. This experience was his 'crash into grace,' where Jesus collided with him as he was running fast in his own direction. The collision blew him apart, but Jesus began putting him back together, making him a new creation.

Perry Lahaie - Crashed Into GraceFor many years, Perry wanted to write a song about this experience, and he finally did so in 2022. The lyrics of the song capture the essence of what happened to him and what it means to experience God's grace.

The song begins with Perry describing how he was running hard, running fast, and running in the night. He was out of control, out of his mind, and completely blind. He was loving sin and hating it at the same time and was surely the Devil's slave. He was way out of his lane when he saw Jesus' face, and he knew it was too late.

The chorus of the song captures the essence of the experience that Perry had. He crashed into grace, and it blew him away. It was like a life-wrecking wave that ended his old life, but he was raised to new life from death. The crash and the cry that he experienced were the end of his old life, but they were the beginning of a new life in Christ.

The second verse of the song describes how Jesus came running hard, running fast, and running right at Perry. He was like a river, a flood, a furious love, like a raging sea. Perry was such a wicked mess, but Jesus came to save him. He was right in the way, shouting Perry's name, and Perry saw Jesus' shining face.

The bridge of the song captures the heart of the gospel message. Jesus brought Perry back to life, and He was kneeling by his side. Perry saw the passion in Jesus' eyes and the scars in His hands. Jesus said to Perry, 'Come and follow me. I've loved you from eternity, and I'm filling you now to heal, restore, and cleanse.'

The final chorus of the song is a powerful reminder that Perry's crash into grace was the most beautiful face he had ever seen. Jesus bore the filth of his shame, and He was pierced with a spear for Perry's sake. But Jesus trampled the grave and raised Perry to new life.

'Crashed Into Grace' is a beautiful and powerful song that captures the essence of God's amazing grace. Perry Lahaie's personal testimony of shame, healing, and transformation is an inspiration to all who listen.

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"I Stand Amazed In The Presence" by Jonathan Abel: When Everything Fails, This Holds

When life falls apart, what’s left to stand on?  At 32 years old, Jonathan Abel was in the hospital, unable to stand or walk without his heart racing above 130bpm. His nervous system was shutting down, and he didn’t know if he’d see 33. In the silence of that crisis, something broke open — not his faith, but his illusions about where his faith had been anchored. Health, strength, and the ability to fix yourself. These feel like solid ground until they aren’t. Jonathan writes that the temptation to root your identity in perfect health and great wealth is “deceivingly real.” But when everything he trusted in his own body failed, one truth held firm: Christ had already done what Jonathan could never have done for himself. This is the key message behind this song, “He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own. He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered, and died alone.” Jesus didn’t observe suffering from a distance — He absorbed it.  Romans 8:18 says it plainly: “I...

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
