'To Be Wanted' by Amanda Nolan: Beholding Our Worth in God’s Compassionate Lens


Amanda Nolan's song 'To Be Wanted' is a masterpiece. This song brilliantly expresses the raw, human yearning for unconditional love and acceptance, a theme that resonates with our inherent flaws and long-held rejection fears. However, embedded within its moving lyrics is the promise of divine love and unwavering support, echoing Romans 8:38-39 - 'neither death nor life...nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God.'

Amanda Nolan - To Be WantedA vivid story unfolds throughout the song, revealing a transformative encounter with Jesus, who lovingly assures us, 'You are loved without conditions,' and 'You will never be let go.' It wonderfully shows God's steadfast presence in the face of human infidelity, affirming our worth where we've felt unwanted and extending a grace-filled embrace where we've felt ignored.

Amanda Nolan's warm, heartfelt voice only adds to this story, wrapping it in melodies that beckon listeners to solace and spiritual encouragement. 'To Be Wanted' awakens us to the truth of our divine lovability, reminding us that even when we feel we have nothing to offer, we are deeply cherished just for being who we are.

May the beauty of God's ever-present love be sparked in you by this song. May it be a source of comfort and strength for you, an encouraging note in your life's symphony that gently leads you to Heavenly Father's embrace.

(Related scripture: Romans 8:38-39, Psalm 139:14, Deuteronomy 31:8)

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...

Next week, in part 2, we will focus on your online hub, ways to attract more visitors to your online hub, and being more than a musician.   Why do some Christian artists have millions of monthly streams on the streaming platforms, while other great artists struggle to get more than a few thousand monthly streams? Many Christian Artists struggle to reach new listeners. Marketing music was never easy, but quite a few artists (and even agents/distributors) are not using all of the possibilities that are already available. What saddens me is that many Christian artists only scratch the surface of their music marketing possibilities. DIY-platforms, such...
