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!

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...

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...
