'God So Loved The World' by Tom Mottershead - A Divine Bridge Over Troubled Waters


In Tom Mottershead's 'God So Loved The World,' we find comforting peace and a story that is relatable at its core. This song captures the triumph of divine love over our daily struggles.

Tom Mottershead - God So Loved The WorldThe song, like every believer's journey, depicts a journey from the grip of shame, fear, and condemnation to the liberating embrace of God's love. It's a journey that echoes Mottershead's personal battles, leading him to unearth and immerse himself deeper in the reality of God's rest. His tenderly shared experience bridges the song and the listener, creating a personal comfort zone where listeners can just see themselves within the lyrics, bearing the same burdens and finding the same compassionate Savior.

The song is layered with an energizing and soothing message, and the sweet verse - 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son,' stuns us into silent contemplation of God's boundless love for us. Each strand of the melody strengthens our faith by gently reminding us of a God who is always with us, infinitely merciful, and our only true Savior.

Allow this powerful song to minister to your heart in quiet moments, late at night or early in the morning. Rise on the wings of Mottershead's profoundly personal journey and find comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your struggles. The divine is always welcoming you into His loving presence.

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...

"Gentle" by Andrew Macdonald: Finding Grace in Life's Hardest Moments

(by Jasper Tan) Have you heard of any heartfelt song lately that elaborates on the pain, yet the yearning for healing feels so heart-wrenching? Andrew Macdonald's latest song, "Gentle," feels just like that. In what seems like a conversational piece with someone, the song actually is a prayer yearning for God's grace and healing. The lush sound of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the heartfelt delivery of the vocals, delivers a certain kind of sincerity wherein Andrew pours his heart out to Jesus. It is very seldom to hear songs wherein the singer cuts through our emotions just enough for us to feel an affinity to his pleas. And Andrew's outreach for help through prayer is something that really cuts through our own pains when we are in those moments of vulnerability while we deal with our own issues. Though the song starts off as a sad song and the lines that are delivered feel so gloomy and hopeless, the song makes a stark change for the better when it starts to...
