'Be Still' by Caitlin McGovern: A lifeline found in Psalm 46


Be Still' by Caitlin McGovern is a musical lifeline for everyone who is going through rough times. It's interesting how music can touch people's hearts, especially when they are holding on to the last bit of certainty they have and everything seems to be falling apart. That's when Caitlin's voice comes in with, 'Be still and know that He is God.' This song reminds you that even now, especially now, it is God who helps you to see the horizon, where the sunrise chases out the dark, and where He casts away every fear and doubt!

Caitlin McGovern - Be StillMany songs are triggered by events in people's lives, and this song is no different. Caitlin wrote this song for her brother-in-law during a time of job loss and uncertainty, with four children relying on him. The song mirrors this struggle and brings in Psalm 46:10, radiating a serene confidence, and a reminder that in the middle of chaos we're held in the arms of a God who even commands the winds and the waves. 

'Be Still' is a calming melody, combined with lyrics like 'All of creation sings his song / All of the earth to him belongs.' It has all of the ingredients to help ground you, remind who's really in control, and point you to the One who can guide your way out of your darkness. 

Go ahead and listen to Put on 'Be Still', especially when you feel overwhelmed or when quiet reflection is due - the lush instrumentation and Caitlin's clear, gentle voice will direct you back to your place of peace and certainty in God's plan. You can find this beautiful song on all streaming platforms. It's the fourth single from Catlin's upcoming EP, 'The Only Opinion'. Enjoy!

Avery Stafford's "Manna (Come on Down)" is a beautiful reminder that God never forgets us. The song was inspired by Avery's own journey of faith. He remembers how excited he felt as a 7-year-old standing in front of a church in San Jose, CA, when he said "yes" to Jesus. Avery has that same fire and excitement for God's constant presence and provision today.  The song's title is a nod to a youth rally called Mannafest, emphasizing that God continues to provide for us amidst life's challenges, just as He provided manna in the wilderness. God reigns, even though hopelessness, loneliness, and disappointments constantly plague our world. The acts and consequences of people's choices can distract our focus from God. It is through lyrics like "Remind me, Lord, just why I need You living in my dreams" and "Spirit, come on down," that Avery calls us to remember God's unending faithfulness and reignite our initial love and de...
