'Know You' by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Experiencing God’s Presence


Marc & Jalyn McGill's song 'Know You' is about what it means to really value God's presence more than His promises. This track is from their brand-new album 'Between Barren & Beautiful.'

Marcus & Jalyn McGill - Know YouMarcus and Jalyn start the song by reminding us that while we often pray for God's promises to come true, it’s important that we don't lose sight of our love for Him. If you continuously put your relationship with God first, then His promises will follow. There is an important question in the pre-chorus that might really hit some people: 'Do I want God more than I want His promises?' Hopefully, this question will make you reflect on your spiritual journey.

I expect that you too will find yourself immersed in the chorus, singing, 'I wanna know You, just rest in who You are.' It's a call to experience God's heart and surrender your life to Him. And by the time you reach the bridge, the song's message should be loud and clear: the more you know God, the more you want Him. Keep your eyes fixed on God, focus on staying in His presence, and trust in His timing.

Take a break to listen to 'Know You.' May this message bring you closer to God, and help you to be patient. His promises will happen according to His timing.

(Related scripture: Matthew 6:33; Jeremiah 29:13; Psalm 16:11)

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" by Robby Robinson & Andrea Hammond: Stand Firm in His Victory

What fortress stands when everything else shakes? Martin Luther wrote “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” in a time of upheaval. Now Robby Robinson and Andrea Hammond have given this hymn a fresh voice, released just in time for Reformation Week. The arrangement begins softly with piano and a single violin. Then Andrea sings, and it builds into a joyful, uplifting orchestral arrangement with layered strings, piano, and Andrea’s soaring violin. That journey mirrors the faith that we all may find in the lyrics. “A mighty fortress is our God, a sword and shield victorious.” The song doesn’t start loud. It starts with trust, and trust in God is where strength begins. Where do you run when the pressure rises? Many of us reach for busyness, control, or even worry. They crumble. The hymn points to something much more sturdy: “He breaks the cruel oppressor’s rod and wins salvation glorious.” Whatever is binding you has already met its match… in God. Psalm 46:1 says it plainly: “God is our refuge ...
