'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.

"I Stand Amazed In The Presence" by Jonathan Abel: When Everything Fails, This Holds

When life falls apart, what’s left to stand on?  At 32 years old, Jonathan Abel was in the hospital, unable to stand or walk without his heart racing above 130bpm. His nervous system was shutting down, and he didn’t know if he’d see 33. In the silence of that crisis, something broke open — not his faith, but his illusions about where his faith had been anchored. Health, strength, and the ability to fix yourself. These feel like solid ground until they aren’t. Jonathan writes that the temptation to root your identity in perfect health and great wealth is “deceivingly real.” But when everything he trusted in his own body failed, one truth held firm: Christ had already done what Jonathan could never have done for himself. This is the key message behind this song, “He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own. He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered, and died alone.” Jesus didn’t observe suffering from a distance — He absorbed it.  Romans 8:18 says it plainly: “I...

"Welcome Home" by Mary Oz: Love Is Already at the Door

What if the door you’ve been afraid to walk through has been open for you all along? “Welcome Home” by Mary Oz recalls one of the most tender stories in the Christian faith — the return of the prodigal son. His return wasn’t a march of shame, nor was it a hero’s parade. It was a quiet, tired walk back to the only place that ever truly knew and loved him. Mary wrote this song with a soft invitation, a conversational opening that builds into something victorious, with harmonies and drums leading the charge. Then settling again into that same warm, assuring, and secure invitation. A progression that mirrors the journey home.  The lyrics remind us that Jesus isn’t asking you to clean up first. “Come in, lost and wild prodigal / ‘Cos Love is waiting by the kitchen door.” There’s no courtroom here. No checklist. Just Love — patient, unhurried, already standing at the door. The broken don’t arrive here as burdens; they arrive as loved ones.  That’s the heartbeat of Luke 15:20: “But ...

"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 ...
