Shine Your Light with Runaverse's 'Keep On'


Runaverse's 'Keep On' is a beautiful song about faith as source of strength and perseverance when dealing with life's ups and downs. Runa (artist name: Runaverse) was walking at night through the countryside, under a starlit sky, searching for the right words to use in this song. That's when it all started to come together, like a whisper from the Holy Spirit, turning the melody and lyrics into her story of faith and perseverance.

Runaverse - Keep OnRuna faced her fears head-on, thinking about everything that was going on in her life, drawing strength from Matthew 5:14–16, which encourages us to be the light of the world. 'Keep On' is the track on her debut EP, as well as a personal declaration to shine, regardless of life's challenges. Runa admits she hadn't planned to talk about her faith through music, fearing it might offend some. But, in the midst of the hardship she was facing, her resolve strengthened, as she poured her heart into the lyrics as the dawn approached.

'Keep on / Even in the dark yeah / Keep on (keep on) / Don’t be afraid tonight my dear,' a reminder that God is always with us and that it is He who strengthens us so we can come out of these challenges victorious. God never promised us an easy life. He never promised that we wouldn't suffer, that we wouldn't feel despair, loneliness, confusion, or desperation. What he did promise was that in our suffering we would never be alone.

He encourages us to face our suffering with hope and let our light shine without fear.

'Keep On' is an invitation to look beyond the dark moments in life, to trust God, and shine your light (His light through you) for others walking similar paths. Give 'Keep On' a listen. May its message encourage you, and maybe, just like Runa, help you to find strength to keep shining your light.

(Related scripture: Matthew 5:14-16; Philippians 4:13; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9)

Lédylce - Tu es tout pour moi (CCM) - translated: "You are everything to me"

Lédylce has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'Tu es tout pour moi' ("You are everything to me"). It is such an honor that Lédylce contacted us with this song. A song about the relationship between a child and their (heavenly) Father. The message of this song is subtle, but it is a message we can fully grasp once we realize who our loving Father is and what His grace entails for us.   Lédylce hopes to reach as many people as possible with her first project as an independent artist. The next songs she plans to record will have a distinctly Christian flavor, says Lédylce...   We're happy to offer you the original lyrics in French, as well as a translation into English of a song that reaches out beyond the barriers of language to His children. Paroles: Une pluie divine d’amour et de tendresse Et lorsque j’ai soif un fleuve d’eau fraîche Tu m’entoures par devant et par derrière Tu me protèges et me consoles de mes misères   Tu es tout, Tu es t...
