'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.

"What A Savior" by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship: Never Growing Numb to Grace

Have you ever grown numb to a miracle?  “What A Savior” by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship began as a chorus in a co-write, before it took on a life of its own. Will & Jacinta wanted something rich and almost hymn-like, a bold declaration of who Jesus is — not a tired restatement, but a fresh look. They never wanted to grow “used to” what Jesus accomplished, so they wrote about holding on to Him in every season, regardless of whether it’s calm or chaotic.  The opening lines start with the redemption through Jesus’ blood: “The precious fount, that cleansing flow, the Son of God poured out for all.” That’s the blood that Jesus spilled for you. The song moves from the cleansing through His blood to the result: “The debt I owed and all sin’s claims were buried with You in the grave.” Your debt. Buried. Gone.  Here’s where it gets even more personal. Romans 5:8 says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ...

"If Jesus Danced" by Cameron Pruitt: Making Room for Laughter in Your Walk with God

Does your faith leave room for laughter? Can you imagine Jesus kicking off His sandals, dancing to a rhythm only He can hear? Strange thought? Maybe, but Cameron Pruitt’s song “If Jesus Danced” asks exactly that: “Sometimes I wonder if Jesus danced.” It’s a question worth pondering. Most of us picture Jesus as solemn, serious, carrying the weight of the world. But rarely do we picture Him laughing so hard that “the room relaxed.” Cameron insists this joy was real. Jesus wasn’t just a teacher of hard truths. He was, as Cameron sings, “the life of the party, radiant friend.” He warmed hearts. He had humor. People wanted to be near Him, not because He demanded reverence, but because His presence felt like sunshine. This connects to Psalm 16:11: “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Joy isn’t a distraction from faith. Joy is the destination. God doesn’t just tolerate your happiness; He included j...

"Hallelujah Anyway" by Zach Garrett: Praise That Doesn't Wait for the Storm to Pass

What if worship doesn’t require having answers? Storm clouds hide the stars. The road stretches on with no map and no end in sight. That’s the world Zach Garrett describes in the opening lines of “Hallelujah Anyway,” and if you’ve walked through a season of loss or confusion, you already recognize the setting. Zach wrote this song from inside real darkness, in his case, a stretch of loss, hurt, and unanswered questions that didn’t resolve on his timeline. Zach’s message is that we don’t need to wait for clarity before we choose to worship. Like Zach, we may need to make that choice daily, sometimes hourly, possibly even through gritted teeth. The bridge describes a common misconception: “I used to think that faith meant having all the answers, that doubt was just a sign I wasn’t strong enough to stand.” How many of us carry that same lie? We assume that real faith looks certain, steady, unshaken. We get confused when it isn’t! Zach flips the definition of faith: “Maybe trusting You me...
