'Your Way, Yahweh' by Zach Garrett: The Song That Guides You Home


'Your Way, Yahweh' by Zach Garrett is a song that changes your understanding of hardships and trust. Zach shared that this song started with a divine spark while he was in Nashville, TN, during a collaborative writing session at Red Street Publishing. The song is a declaration of surrender and faith. Zach didn't know it back then, but the message of this song actually became his own lifeline, as he faced some tough times of his own.

Zach Garrett - Your Way, YahwehIn the years that followed, Zach faced several challenges, ranging from a respected pastor's sudden resignation amidst a scandal and an affair, his parents getting a divorce after having been married for 45 years, and the loss of his grandfather. Each one of these situations could have broken his spirit, but it actually was the echo of 'Your Way, Yahweh' that gave him the peace and strength to keep going. 

What I like about this song is the reminder that we don't need to reply to worldly navigational tools or to getting approval from others; all we need is to embrace God's grace and navigate those stormy waters of life with a childlike trust in His plan.

We all know that life rarely goes as 'we' planned it. At the same time, there's beauty and peace in knowing that there is a Master Planner at work in our lives, and all it takes is for us to surrender to God's guidance. Choose to follow His way, because the path that He has will lead you to true prosperity instead of harm.

Give 'Your Way, Yahweh' a listen. Let it refresh your view, remind you of the peace that comes from trusting in something greater than yourself, and inspire you to follow His path with the innocence and expectation of a child. This song is a journey back to the heart of faith.

(Related scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6; Jeremiah 29:11; Matthew 18:3)

"Clothed With Dignity" by Grace Frances: Trading Shame for a New Identity

Your worth was never up for negotiation.  Grace Frances wrote “Clothed With Dignity” from a place most of us recognize (in some form or other) but will rarely admit out loud. She carried old regrets like a second skin, calling herself names that her past mistakes didn’t deserve. “I demonize the girl I was, when she was just trying to survive,” she sings, and that line hurts. Haven’t we all judged ourselves for choices that we made while simply trying to get through the day? Even choices that seemed to be fine in the moment, but proved to be otherwise over time.  Grace’s breakthrough didn't come from fixing herself, but from surrendering… surrendering to God. “You clothe me with dignity,” she declares, describing a moment where self-condemnation lost its grip and grace took over.  Grace’s story is fairly similar to the story found in Isaiah 61:10 —  “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; h...

"Just Believe" by For Him: When Doubt Isn't Disqualifying

Can you believe without having all the answers? Some people wait at the edge of faith for years, arms crossed, waiting to feel ready. “Just Believe” was written by For Him for exactly that person — the one who wants to trust Jesus but still carries a list of questions. The song grew out of that in-between space, where doubt and faith sit side-by-side and neither one of them wins outright. Gritty Southern-rock guitars carry lyrics that ask a two-thousand-year-old question: “Could Love have worn a human face?” The answer to that question brings purpose and comfort to our lives. The song doesn’t demand certainty before you move. It invites wonder instead. “You don’t have to shape your future // He begins where you can’t reach.” The message and intent of this song make it clear that you don’t need to figure out everything first before you can take a step toward God.  A man quoted in the gospel of Mark understood this tension better than most of us. Desperate for his son to be healed,...

"I've Got Joy" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Why Joy Isn't the Same as Happiness

Sorrow and joy can share the same room. “I’ve Got Joy” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was triggered by a telephone call. Tyler reconnected with an old friend who’d been going through a period of loneliness. Tyler shares: “We talked at length about the season of loneliness he was experiencing, and we discussed a few other topics that are reflected in the verses.” This triggered Tyler to tackle this concept of having Joy, and it became clear that “I’ve Got Joy” isn’t the same as “I’ve Got Happiness” . Joy is more than happiness, and it certainly isn’t a painted-on smile. Tyler makes that distinction on purpose, because he’s writing about the nights he spent “down to my last prayer,” and about sitting “in a room full of people” while feeling completely invisible. He’s writing about all of the kneeling and “begging for the answer to a question I can’t speak.” That’s real, and that’s most of us, on our worst weeks. The chorus takes us back to “joy”. Tyler sings: “I’ve got joy in my lungs, ye...
