'Strength Through the Tears' by Krystal Dawn Land - Finding Hope in God's Strength


Krystal Dawn Land's song 'Strength Through the Tears' is inspired by Psalm 56:8, where it says, 'You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.' 

Krystal Dawn Land - Strength Through the TearsKrystal shares from her own experiences that God sees every tear, and even more important, He cares deeply about us as we go through life's ups and downs. We're especially vulnerable when we're going through difficult times, because that's when it's easy to drift away from God's path. Krystal's solution is to call out to the Lord to help her find the strength she needs in Him. She sings, 'I've been walking this road for so long, carrying such a heavy load, trying to do it on my own,' echoing what is probably one of our biggest weaknesses… an ego that says 'We can do it', altogether skipping the part where we should be saying, 'We can do it with your help!' 

Krystal beautifully directs our focus back to the peace and strength that we can only find in God's embrace, 'Through the cries, through the tears, I find strength even when my heart feels fear. In Your arms, I find peace.' Even when we feel that we are drowning in fear and darkness, it is God who can give us strength… if you let God help you and take the lead. 

If you've feeling alone or overwhelmed, give this song a listen. May 'Strength Through the Tears' encourage you to say, 'God, give me strength', stay close Him, trust His plan, and lean into His strength. Experience the promise that God is right there for you, offering you His peace and strength.

(Related scripture: Psalm 56:8; Isaiah 41:10; 2 Corinthians 12:9)

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...

Vertical Worship - Blessed (CCM)

Vertical Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Blessed. The Beatitudes serve as the inspiration for this new track. Quoting Vertical Worship: “The first line of the sermon on the mount, ‘Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ are words that we may be familiar with, but hold a profound invitation from Jesus. It is not those who have it all figured out, or have all the answers that will know more of His kingdom, but rather those who recognize their need of Him. And more of Him means more of His rule, His reign in my life. His law is love and He comes near with mercy.” They continued, “So, quite simply, that’s where the song started, from a place of remembering, a place of trust that when we turn to Jesus, we gain more of Him. And more of Him means more of His presence, His peace, His love. For what does it matter to gain the whole world, but forfeit our soul? What a gift that we get to at any moment recognize our deep need fo...
