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!

"Lord You Are So Awesome" by Mario Tucker: Turning Everyday Moments into Praise

“Lord You Are So Awesome” by Mario Tucker is a reminder that worship doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be powerful. The song is based on the fact that what matters the most is that God’s greatness deserves our constant praise. Our praise doesn't have to meet any quality standards for it to be pleasing to God. So, ask yourself... when was the last time that you took a moment to say, “Lord you are so awesome / Lord you are so great / Your name is above the Heavens”? This song invites you to be constantly aware of God’s greatness, and that includes awareness outside the walls of church, like during car rides, your quiet time, and those precious triumphs in life. It's an awareness that leads to response. “So let’s praise and magnify your name.” Praise is not a matter of passively observing and responding... it’s a call to turn your admiration into active devotion. Think about it for a moment: what would change in your life if praise became your first reaction instead of ...

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

"Heaven On Earth" by Eauclaire: Finding Sacred Wonder in the Everyday

Have you ever struggled to see God's presence in your daily life? After a few chaotic days, it is easy to lose sight of the sacred. "Heaven On Earth" by Eauclaire is all about discovering the sacred in the everyday. An interesting fact is that the song was written beneath the "Looking Glass Arch" at the Heaven on Earth Music Festival in Moab, Utah (USA).  The song emphasizes that heaven isn't just a distant promise. And best of all, we don't need a "looking glass" to see that heaven is right here. So, instead of looking "out in the atmosphere," Eauclaire reminds us to simply "take a minute, take a breath," and get out of your head and into your chest.  Do you trust that God will order your steps, even when life gets heavy? Sure, easy to forget to see His hand around you, and the beauty is that you already have the ability to find His beauty and Love in the "wild flowers," the "golden hour," and even t...
