'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 Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" by Robby Robinson & Andrea Hammond: Stand Firm in His Victory

What fortress stands when everything else shakes? Martin Luther wrote “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” in a time of upheaval. Now Robby Robinson and Andrea Hammond have given this hymn a fresh voice, released just in time for Reformation Week. The arrangement begins softly with piano and a single violin. Then Andrea sings, and it builds into a joyful, uplifting orchestral arrangement with layered strings, piano, and Andrea’s soaring violin. That journey mirrors the faith that we all may find in the lyrics. “A mighty fortress is our God, a sword and shield victorious.” The song doesn’t start loud. It starts with trust, and trust in God is where strength begins. Where do you run when the pressure rises? Many of us reach for busyness, control, or even worry. They crumble. The hymn points to something much more sturdy: “He breaks the cruel oppressor’s rod and wins salvation glorious.” Whatever is binding you has already met its match… in God. Psalm 46:1 says it plainly: “God is our refuge ...
