'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)

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics by Kapa Freeman  Why are John Mayer's song lyrics so easy to remember? It comes down to human psychology. I am notoriously bad at remembering song lyrics, except for John Mayer's Songs. Other artists may write a song I remember here or there, but John Mayer does it consistently. Why? I discovered the reason when I was working full-time as a teacher. Teachers can always tell when they're losing students. When those eyes start to glaze over, when that one eyebrow raises in confusion and someone yells out... "I don't get it!"  I got those a lot when I first started teaching. Talking to other teachers, I soon discovered why. I was giving too much information at once. I would vomit these elaborate explanations, thinking that more information would help clear things up... But they just got confused. Talking to my teachers reminded me of lessons I'd learned while getting my teaching degree:  "People remem...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
