HOMECOMING's 'JESUS (ily)' - A Song of Transformative Love


HOMECOMING's 'JESUS (ily)' is a heartfelt song that captures that life-changing moment when you say 'YES' to Jesus. The abbreviation 'ily' in the song title stands for 'I Love You'. It's a song that expresses our love for Christ, and bridges that first moment that we surrendered ourselves to Christ and the lasting impact His love has in our lives. 

HOMECOMING - JESUS (ily)The lyrics echo the joy we may feel when we discover that we have a Father who truly loves and saves us: 'I won't forget / The moment I met You / The moment You changed my life.' These lines take you right back to your own awakening in faith, and remind you of God's unwavering presence. It doesn't matter what you're going through, whether you're on mountains high, or feel surrounded by darkness, the message of this song reassures you, 'I've got nothing to fear / I know You are with me.' 

If you think that 'JESUS (ily)' is just for the youth or new believers, then listen closer. It's a song for everyone who is looking to renew / refresh their commitment to Christ. The chorus is very straight forward and quickly gets you repeating the words, 'Jesus, I love You / Oh, how I love You / Here in this place I give You my heart.' The melody, the message, and the performance feel like a warm embrace that leads your heart closer to God, and encourages you to hold on to Jesus, no matter what happens or where you are on your spiritual journey. 

We believe that 'JESUS (ily)' is a great song to add to your playlist! We pray that its melody and sincere lyrics will remind you of that first time you said 'YES' to Jesus, and help you to stay grounded in His love. Embrace the joy, the reassurance, and the everlasting love that this song celebrates!

'The Fall' by Josh Wright: Embracing Healing Through Pain

Josh Wright's new song, 'The Fall,' is about the dark and heavy moments that often come with loss, grief, and sin. Most of us have been there, feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame. But that is not where God wants us to linger! Yes, it's important to understand the consequences of our actions, but there is also a next chapter. God wants us to 'get up' and 'keep going.'  Josh beautifully sings about this next chapter in 'The Fall.' With lyrics like, 'I didn't want the valley, I didn't want the dark,' you can feel the pain and reluctance that Josh experienced. He continues, 'Nobody wants to stumble or ever hit the ground. Nobody wants to have to hurt for healing to be found.'   Josh emphasizes that although we're not looking for pain, it does play an important part in understanding God's love. If there is no contrast, e.g., no pain, then how will we be able to appreciate God's love and plan for us? This is how

'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.'
