'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)

"You Are Holy" by Spirit Worship: Honest Worship When Hope Runs Thin

Honest worship starts exactly where your pain is. Years of loss pushed the songwriter behind “You Are Holy” into a wilderness. Loved ones died, jobs and homes disappeared, health and finances faltered, and a church plant that failed. Most worship songs felt dishonest to him during that season, so the Psalms became his lifeline. “You Are Holy” sits down beside you and tells the truth. “It’s hard to be patient with nothing but time.” “It’s hard to be hopeful when everything dies.” Have you ever whispered something like that? That’s okay, it’s what we do next that makes a difference! “Yet though I am suffering, I’ll trust in Your name.” David faced that same kind of challenge in Psalm 13. He opens with “How long, O LORD?” and lands here: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” His circumstances barely moved between the first verse and verse five, but his gaze did. You can do the same today. Be honest with God. Tell Him exactly how heavy e...

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...

"The Manger King" by Prestonwood Worship: God With Us, Hope For The World

Where do you find hope this Christmas? “The Manger King” by Prestonwood Worship opens with a question and gives you no time to dodge it: “Can you hear it? Can you see it now?” A strong male lead and a full choir carry the song, with strings, piano, synths and drums building a sound big enough for the news it brings. The news is Emmanuel, “God with us” . Matthew 1:22–23 gives the name its meaning: “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us)” . Think about that. The Creator of Heaven and Earth chose a feeding trough, a cold night, and a poor family. He didn’t shout from a distance. He came close enough to touch. The lyrics make it clear how Love came, “In the silence, heaven touched the ground.” Does your silence feel heavy? Are you going through a hard season, a strained family table, confronted with an empty chair? Do you believe He enters ...
