'Love Better' by Presence Music Band: A Call to True Christian Love


Presence Music Band's new song, 'Love Better,' is a call to have a closer look at how you love others. The band shares: 'We had the hook for love better in our heads for years, but we were really committed (or stuck) in the vertical “Sunday Morning” worship genre during that time so didn’t want to finish or release the song.' The band finally finished the song the night before flying to Atlanta to wrap up their album.

Presence Music Band - Love BetterWhat's intriguing is that up to four band members have been church staff pastors, witnessing firsthand how churches sometimes focus on minor differences rather than becoming more like Jesus.

“Love Better” is a wake-up call, a reminder of what Jesus called the second greatest commandment: 'love your neighbor as yourself'. Not an emotional love, but love as a verb, where we are asked to lay down our judgments, open up our hearts, and treat people with diginity and respect.

The song starts with the words: 'We’ve become each other’s enemy... But there's only one remedy.' It highlights the fact that most people tend to focus on conflicts instead of the love that God freely gives each of us. The chorus urges us to let love overflow, touching the hearts of the broken, the outcast, and those who feel unworthy. It's a call to action, to love better, until every heart has changed.

Why isn't love our go-to response? That is what the second verse is about. The lyrics urge us to lead people to God’s word rather than throwing stones at them. The bridge reminds us of Jesus’ sacrifice and how this should reflect on our own actions.

This song it's beautiful message. Listen to 'Love Better' and may it inspire you to act with more grace and compassion.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Misunderstood" by Cory Asbury: Letting the Light In Through Vulnerability

Cory Asbury's 'Misunderstood' is a poignant ballad that reaches out to those grappling with anxiety, depression, and the weight of the future. With heartfelt lyrics and a soothing melody, this song offers solace and understanding to anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges. The verses weave a narrative of resilience, reminding us that our struggles do not define us. The chorus confronts the notion of brokenness, acknowledging the universal experience of hiding pain and imperfections. Asbury's empathetic voice assures that being broken is a shared reality, not a personal failure. The final chorus, like a reassuring anthem, reinforces the understanding that no one is alone in their struggles. It acknowledges the societal tendency to bury vulnerability but emphasizes the importance of acknowledging pain and seeking support.
