'Make it Through Alive' by Ben Buhler - Turning Trials into Triumph


Life is bound to bring challenges that can turn our world upside down. Ben Buhler's track 'Make it Through Alive,' shows where we can find a trustworthy companion to help us get through those challenging times.

Ben Buhler - Make it Through Alive'Make it Through Alive' was written when Ben was down but knew he could trust God to help him get through his situation. This song is a personal testimony to the power of God's presence in the face of our darkest moments and deepest valleys. The reflective lyrics, based on everyday experiences, also reflect our own struggles and doubts. The lyrics direct our focus upward, to heaven, filling us with hope and resilience that comes from a strong faith in God.

The track comforts us with its lyrics: 'God I'm thankful for everyday... There's no need to be afraid... 'Cause you're always watching over me.' Wow! What a comfort these lyrics bring, especially when we are in the middle of our own challenges, to know that God sees, cares, and that He is always present!

Buhler's 'Make it Through Alive' is a prayer, a beacon of hope, and an energetic melody that fills us with strength that comes from faith and a personal relationship with God. It beautifully captures the essence of every believer's journey: trials will come and uncertainties are all around us, but it is our faith in God that not only allows us to survive, but also allows us to emerge victorious, alive in His divine grace.

When you're in the thick of a storm, tune in, listen, and let this song anchor your heart to the Unchanging One, our eternal source of help and hope.

"Hard Times" by Matt Rees: Finding Faithful Ground When Life Comes Apart

Hard times have a way of stripping everything back. Matt Rees knows this well — and "Hard Times" was came out of one of those seasons. The Michigan-based singer-songwriter has spent years writing music that builds up the church and glorifies God, and this song carries that same honest, unpolished faith. What makes it remarkable is the posture Rees takes. Rather than crying out from the pain, he's thanking God for it. "I thank You for the hard times // when You test what's in the depths of my heart." That's not wishful thinking… That's hard-won conviction coming from the slow & dark times, and the confusing times when everything comes apart at the seams. Rees names them all, and then he names what happens next: God shows up! The chorus wraps it together…. "This life ain't always easy // but You're always faithful and true." Simple, true, and more important…. it's enough! Because when you've lived through the kind of sea...

"When I Saw The Light" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Folk, Grace, and the Moment Everything Changes

“When I Saw The Light” captures something painfully familiar — the trap that routine can bring. Tyler Philip Ratcliffe wrote this folk anthem as a follow-up to “This Little Light of Mine,” drawing on his bluegrass roots and the spirit of Bill Monroe’s classic to tell a story many will recognize in themselves. The verses don’t sugarcoat it. “Same faces, same mistakes, same places // Promise that I change it all tomorrow”  — the trap we need to be aware of… The routine masquerading as life. But Ratcliffe doesn’t leave the listener there. The chorus lifts everything: “I traded fake for something honest // Finally doing something right.” That’s the turning point! What makes this song land is its honesty about the moment before a breakthrough. When numbness sets in, when you’ve exhausted every other option — that’s when the light (His light) breaks through. Ratcliffe captures the surprise of grace: “I wasn’t looking for religion // Wasn’t searching for the truth.” Nobody ever is. And ye...

"Psalm 10 (Do You See)" by Red Letter Society: Honest Faith, Bold Trust, and the Hope of God's Reign

Injustice is hard to sit with. When evil goes unchecked, and the vulnerable are overlooked, even the most faithful hearts may be wrestling with silence from heaven. Red Letter Society's "Psalm 10 (Do You See)" is about that struggle. This song is part of the band's ongoing psalm project and gives the church honest language for prayer. Instead of wrapping pain in comfortable platitudes, it voices the raw cry found in Psalm 10: "Why, O Lord, do You stand so far? Why hide Yourself so I can't see?" That's not a crisis of someone's faith; it's faith being real, and there is a big difference between the two. Featuring Jordan West, the lyrics move through the frustration and toward a confession. In the chorus, you'll hear the weight shifting: "To You the helpless commits himself, in You the orphan finds their help." This is trust that is forged under pressure. In the bridge of the song, you'll hear the resolution, a resolution th...
