'Rest' by Hannah B. Johnson: Nurture your Soul, Find His Peace


Moments of respite are much sought-after in the rush of our daily lives, perhaps none more so than in the heart of a believer yearning for God's peace. This is the poignant story behind Hannah B. Johnson's beautiful song 'Rest.' 'Rest' became Hannah's prayer, born from an overwhelmed heart seeking tranquility in an increasingly noisy world—a prayer she now shares with us, two years later and after uprooting her life to move closer to her family in Nashville.

Hannah B. Johnson - Rest'Make it quiet in here,' the song's heartfelt lyrics say. 'Calm my raging fears. Help me hear Your voice above the endless noise.'— 'Rest' speaks to tired souls navigating life's noisy turmoil. It leads us to divine solace—God's reassuring presence, which, in His vastness, blankets us in silent calm, quells our fears, and quiets the clamor.

Hannah presents 'Rest' as a sanctifying hymn, a soothing antidote to life's hardships, with the humble invitation to dwell in God's holy presence, to trust and believe in Him with every fiber of our being. It captures our deepest longing, highlighting the transformative power of faith, the comfort of divine presence, and the hope that springs from our relationship with Him.

We wholeheartedly encourage everyone to immerse themselves in the profound simplicity and divine truth of 'Rest'. Allow it to nourish your soul, guide you to peace, and draw you closer to His never-failing divine presence.

Rowland Sunday - Take All The Glory (Te Dou Toda Glória/Recibe La Gloria) (CCM)

Rowland Sunday's EP 'Community of Praise, Vol. 1' has another song that we want to share with you. The (CCM) song is called 'Take All The Glory (Te Dou Toda Glória/Recibe La Gloria)'. Parts of this song are sung in Portugees and Spanish. We are touched by this group! The ingredients that make us want to listen to more songs are difficult to describe, but I trust that it becomes clear as you watch the video and listen to the passion with which the lyrics are shared.  Rowland summarized this song in the following manner: "In the place of devotion, God speaks, and our mouth opens up, and sing in Praise and worship to Him the Most High - Take all the Glory Jesus!" Lyrics: Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh! Solo: Take all the glory oh take all the glory Take all the Glory it’s from my heart Take all the glory oh take all the glory Take all the Glory it’s from my heart Verse: (everyone unison) Wonderful God you’re the stream of life that flow...

"Miracles" by Yair Levi: You Don't Need a Burning Sky to Believe

The song “Miracles” by Yair Levi starts before the sun rises, in the quiet of an ordinary morning. No dramatic sign. No burning sky. Just a man waking up, closing his eyes, and saying “toda” , the Hebrew word for “thank you.” That single word sets the tone for everything that this song is about.  The song’s message is simple and powerful… God doesn’t need burning skies to prove that He’s real. Yair uses a quote by Steve Jobs that reframes everything: “If you smile // if you laugh // You are more // Rich than me.” In the next verse, he continues: “Like a bird // On the breeze // Like the first time // You breath // Help me see // Simple things.” What if the miracle you’ve been waiting for is already here, hiding in plain sight? Levi points out that everyday life can be seen as sacred ground. Wherever you look, you’ll see small miracles. Think about the breath in your lungs, the morning light, your ability to feel joy… these aren’t small things, they’re miracles!  May this so...

"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 ...
