'Jesus Name' by Seek and Surrender: Embracing the Promise in Prayer


'Jesus Name' by Seek and Surrender is about how powerful it is to speak the name of Jesus. Many Christians will say, 'yes, I know that', but the truth of the matter is that speaking His name is a faith-driven force that is often overlooked as we go through our day-to-day activities. 

Seek and Surrender - Jesus NameThis song gently reminds us that the truth of Jesus can overpower any lie we face, and reassures us of the freedom we find in Him. It's like having a conversation with your heart and reminding it of hope. 

But there is more to this song. It expands on the promises that Jesus made about faith - especially the faith that can move mountains. I have to admit that I have doubts whether my faith can move mountains… I know I still have a way to grow in that. Thankfully, we don't need to to have mastered that level of faith before we see the effects of speaking His name. 

Part of the lyrics refer to the passage, 'When you ask, it will be given unto you'. What does that mean? Anything I ask?? That's like saying, 'God, the doctors have all given up on me, but I'm asking You to cure me from stage 4 cancer, and this scripture says that You will give me that cure!' I believe this passage is an open invitation to seek help and guidance through prayer, with faith that we will be heard and will receive answers… His answers! It is about asking instead of demanding, and seeking to hear and understand what it is that He wants. It is never about our own glory or benefit. 

The song 'Jesus Name' is a call to action, an encouragement to let everything you do bring glory to Jesus. It's about asking with humility, seeking with intent, and knocking with a childlike trust that God's door is always open. 

Next time you are feeling lost, or you are starting to doubt if God hears your prayers, let this song remind you of the power vested in Jesus' name. This goes way beyond ending your prayers with the words 'In Jesus' Name.' It's a declaration, a statement of faith, believing in the power of His name over every aspect of our lives. 

I trust you will enjoy the song and let it remind you of the unfailing love and power found in Jesus' name.

(Related scripture: Mark 11:23–24; Matthew 7:7; John 8:32)

"Paradise" by New Life Worship: One Moment, One Cry, One Promise of Paradise

Have you ever felt too far gone for grace? Like all of the wrongs in your life are just too many to be forgiven? If that is the case, then "Paradise" by New Life Worship has an important message for you. The song takes us back to one of the most powerful scenes in the Bible, the thief on the cross.  The song puts you right there. The thief, hanging right next to Christ on the cross. Guilty, undeserving, and despite that brave enough to be "Crying [to Christ] for mercy // Remember me." What this scene/song tells us is that it isn't about earning His mercy… It's about receiving it. The thief didn't have time to make things right again; he had no religious track record and no credentials. But he saw and accepted Jesus for who He was… and that was enough.  "You could've counted all my wrongs // Instead you counted me your own." These two lines alone are so precious. Just think about it! Instead of condemnation, Jesus offered paradise, extravag...

"Come Alive" by JONATHYN: Grace Restoring the Broken

(by Jasper Tan) "Come Alive" by JONATHYN is an uplifting CCM-Pop track that talks about spiritual renewal, grace, and finding purpose through our Christian faith. The song dwells on the classic darkness-to-light narrative, which is a common theme for those who are struggling with their Faith. The song begins by describing our state of being in a spiritual exhaustion, mirroring that feeling like we are breathing lead. It also speaks about our life that at times feels like it is dead, despite being alive in this world. This happens when we keep on making the wrong turn, and these frequent mistakes become our frustration. And in a twist of irony, sometimes we are being led to deeper depression, especially if we are clutching for hope, yet this is devoid of a firm foundation. And the chorus is where we are reminded that it is only through God and his gift of hope, which gives us new life and makes us feel much more alive. This is the emotional peak of the song, where the song tra...
