Zach Garrett's 'Give Me the Real Jesus' – Let Your Heart Be Touched


How do you find the right words to describe your longing for an authentic relationship with Christ? Zach Garrett's describes that longing in his song 'Give Me the Real Jesus'. Garrett grew up prioritizing the 'thou shalts' and 'thou shalt nots' over the genuine relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. A relationship with Jesus isn't about focussing on rules and rituals! It's a relationship that is focussed on a living, breathing communion with Jesus. 

Zach Garrett - Give Me the Real JesusIn 'Give Me the Real Jesus,' Zach cuts straight to the chase. Connecting with Jesus goes beyond the constraints of legalism. While full of good intentions, the rules and traditions of religion can sometimes become a barrier, leaving us merely 'reading the words and going their own way' instead of truly experiencing Jesus' love and grace. 

We are and need His church, but we shouldn't be crushed under the weight of 'broken religion,' or better said, the weight of what man imposes instead of what God asks us to do and become. The lyrics touch on real-life issues: burdens and shame, but Garrett reassures us that there is hope. Jesus is the One who lifts our burdens and offers healing. This isn't about mere 'admission' into a religious club; it's about transforming our hearts and lives through Jesus' boundless grace and love - a love that conquered the grave. 

Give 'Give Me the Real Jesus' a listen. I'm confident that the music and lyrics are uplifting and freeing. 

In Garrett's own words: 'It's my prayer that this song is an encouragement to everyone who listens to it and I pray that it may even give people 'permission' or rather freedom to seek a true and genuine relationship with Jesus.' Amen to that!

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:6; Romans 8:1-2)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
