'In Your Hands' by Jeff H. Ulrich: A Soul-Stirring Journey Through Faith


Jeff H. Ulrich's song 'In Your Hands' isn't just any song, it is a peak behind the curtain of Jeff's life, his journey of ups and downs, seeking God's guidance, and trusting in His plan. Did you know that Jeff was born blind, got partial sight when he was 9 months old, was battling for his life when he was 9 years old, and endured various personal and financial crises? Jeff didn't share this in order to get a pat on the back. He lived through these trials, supported by his faith with each step, and now shares this to encourage others as they face their own challenges.

Jeff H. Ulrich - In Your Hands'In Your Hands' is a reflection of Jeff's journey, a journey that deserves more than a summary of few words. That is why you'll find links to a YouTube video with Jeff's backstory, and a podcast episode where we deep dive into Jeff's story and this song. Looking at the lyrics, 'When I was lost - Drifting all alone, Not sure I'd ever come to find My way,' Jeff sings about the confusion and desperation that we've all felt! It's not intended as a complaint, but just stating the fact and, more important, finding his direction and hope in God. 'Just trust in Him. Hear Him and obey,' the key elements that ensure us that in our darkest moments, we'll never be truly alone.

God has a plan for each of us, and Jeff's story shows how he survived challenges and how things got much better when he placed his life in God's hands. From miraculous healings to finding a job that allowed him to spend more time with his daughter, that is how the power of faith and prayer worked out so far in Jeff's life. Just imagine what faith and prayer can do in your life! Imagine the peace and assurance that will come in your life when you surrender to God's will, and maybe you too will repeat Jeff's words: 'Lord, I am in Your hands. O, Father above, My life Is in Your hands'.

'In Your Hands' is a call to live! It's a reminder that with faith, no obstacle is too big and no mountain too high to climb (just stop trying to do it on your own). Go ahead and take a moment to listen to Jeff's song, and may it remind you that no matter the trials, you're in God's hands.

And if you have time, also listen to the backstory and the podcast episode. Enjoy!

"More Than a Conqueror" by Doyin Teru: A Live Worship Experience of Unshakable Faith

Doyin Teru's live rendition of "More Than a Conqueror" is a powerful gospel song that declares God's unshakable love and provision. The song was recorded in Vienna with the J423 Community. Inspired by passages in Romans 8, reminding us that nothing—neither life, death, nor any power—can separate us from God's love. "Nothing will take Your Presence from my life" and "No one shall separate me from Your love" are  examples from the lyrics that are both a confession and also a celebration of the victory we all may experience through Christ. The inspiration for this song came to Bolaji Teru on December 10, 2022, when he woke up with a melody in his heart: "Nothing will take Your presence from my life; no one shall separate me from Your love." . A few months later, he was inspired to write the verse, drawing entirely from the Scriptures. The first verse is based on Romans 8:38, and the second verse comes from Romans 8:32, passages that emph...
