'Holy Spirit Song (Carry On)' by Shawn Thomas: A Musical Balm for Life's Journey


As the seasons turn and we face life's uncertainties, Shawn Thomas' uplifting CCM song, 'Holy Spirit Song (Carry On),' serves as a tender reminder of God's constant presence and unwavering faithfulness. The song was inspired by a tearful farewell to a beloved congregation, a season of change, and the anticipation of God's unfolding plans in Shawn's life.

Shawn Thomas - Holy Spirit Song (Carry On)'Holy Spirit Song (Carry On)' is based on the profound reassurances found in Colossians 3:15-17 and Deuteronomy 31:6&8 of the Bible. These passages serve as beacons in our journey through life, reminding us of the Lord's transformative power, comfort, and unfailing love.

Each verse of the song is heartfelt, encouraging us to embrace our identities as faithful servants, true believers, and prayerful warriors. The chorus echoes the call to let Christ's peace rule in our hearts and to be eternally grateful. Shawn's song invites us to let God's grace carry us forward, his unwavering protection our unfailing refuge, in the midst of life's challenges.

Shawn Thomas' journey—twenty years of music and ministry, from the release of his first Christian project to the present—is a resounding testament to our loving Creator's never-ending mercies. Just as Shawn has witnessed God's faithfulness, let 'Holy Spirit Song (Carry On)' guide you to a deeper connection with the Lord, as you, too, face the joys and challenges of your walk with Christ.

"I'm Still Going to Praise You" by Die Taube: Choosing Praise in the Waiting

Can worship survive a season without answers?  Some seasons don’t resolve on schedule. “I’m Still Going to Praise You” by Die Taube ( ‘the dove’ ) was born from one of those seasons — infertility sitting alongside a father’s cancer diagnosis, disappointment stacking on disappointment. The song is part of an upcoming album, Pilgrimage, releasing one song per month until December. The album is a crossing, not a recovery, not getting back to who one was but coming through changed. The opening line of the song sets the whole tone: “Thank You has no seasons, worship does not wait.” God’s worthiness does not depend on our circumstances. Even when circumstances stay unresolved, we decide to look beyond our circumstances to praise and worship Him.  Notice what the second verse admits. “When I feel like I’ve got nothing and other times so much”  — our praises aren’t conditional on constant victory. The song is honest about fluctuating faith, and pairs it with a steady choice underneat...

"There Was Jesus" by Zach Williams and Dolly Parton: Finding Him in the Wreckage

Even in loss, Jesus was already there.  Dolly Parton passed away on August 25, 2026, at age 80, after a brief battle with cancer, surrounded by family in Nashville. For seven decades she sang about faith, poverty, grace, and home — and one of her earlier duets (with Zach Williams) carries a message that fits her passing perfectly. In “There Was Jesus,” Dolly Parton and Zach Williams trade verses about the moments we miss Him most: “Every time I tried to make it on my own // Every time I tried to stand and start to fall.” Life doesn’t wait for permission before it crashes down. “When the life I built came crashing to the ground // When the friends I had were nowhere to be found”  — that’s grief. That’s a hospital room, a phone call you dreaded, a silence where a voice used to be. That’s seeing great people passing away. Where was God in it? “I couldn’t see it then but I can see it now,” the song answers. “There was Jesus.”   Psalm 34:18 says it plainly: “The Lord is near to t...

"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 ...
