Finding Grace in Pain: 'You Don’t Know What You’ve Done' by Jeff H. Ulrich


Jeff H. Ulrich really pours out his heart into a new song, 'You Don't Know What You've Done.' This song gently calls out to anyone who has caused others pain and offers them peace and a path to forgiveness. Just let this sink in for a moment… this is a double call to action! It is calling you to offer anyone that caused you pain nothing but peace and forgiveness. It is also calling those who caused pain to accept that personal peace and forgiveness, but also to seek the life-changing power of Christ's love and peace. 

Jeff H. Ulrich - You Don’t Know What You’ve DoneJeff is drawing from his own struggles and the serious impact that Long-COVID has on his life. As Jeff reflects on life's fragility, he realizes how important it is to seek understanding, reconciliation, and closure.

Jeff starts the song with a vivid acknowledgment of the darkness and hurt we may experience and beautifully transitions into a message of faith and resilience found in Jesus. It is lines like "You don't know what you've done // 'Cause you don't know Jesus' way" that underscore the central theme of the song-the power of Christ's love that can change our lives and His promise of eternal peace if we let Him be at the center of what we think and do.

The verses of the song switch between Jeff's own journey and his prayer for those who have yet to embrace Jesus (again). May this song be a reminder that it is through Christ's grace that we can forgive and heal, and may look forward to that day when we as saints are singing 'Amazing Grace' together in Heaven.

(Related scripture: Psalm 18:17; Psalm 23:4; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18; Romans 2:5-6)

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
