Finding Refuge in God's Embrace: "Hiding Place" by Hannah Schaefer


Hannah Schaefer's song "Hiding Place" is a song that gently reminds us that no matter how distant God may seem or how long and weary the journey with Him feels, there is always a refuge in the Lord—a sacred hiding place where our hearts can rest and find peace.

Hannah Schaefer - Hiding PlaceHannah sings about a long and tiring journey alongside God, where feet are "beat black and blue." She beautifully expresses the peace that we may all find in His unwavering love. Hannah sings of God's open arms, a safe place that He has prepared, and the grace that continually amazes her. The chorus, "I can always find my hiding place in You," emphasizes the steadfastness of God's protection, comparing it to a mountain that can't be moved. 

The beauty of this message is that His arms are also open for each of us. The only thing stopping us from finding that comfort in God is us, our pride, our misplaced idea that we don't need Him. He is there, waiting for you to accept His invitation to find your hiding place in Him—our unshakeable and loving refuge.

(Related scripture: Psalm 32:7; Psalm 46:1; Matthew 11:28)

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...

"Good Grace / Clean Slate" by Century Worship: Heaven Came Down to Meet You

There is no one like Jesus. That's the key message of "Good Grace / Clean Slate - Live" by Century Worship, and once this truth sinks in, it's hard to shake. The song opens with a question that stops you in your tracks, pulling the essence of Christ's sacrifice right into your life: "Who is God that He would take our place?" Just think about it for a moment... what kind of God steps down from glory to walk the very ground He created and pay the price on your behalf? The answer to this question unfolds throughout the song. This answer talks about this exchange. "Good grace, clean slate // God met me where I was,"  a God who doesn't wait for you to get it together. He came down and paid it all. That's the story. That's the gospel. The bridge declares: "There's never been, never been, anyone like our God." Century Worship isn't asking you to take their word for it... They're inviting you into the moment where th...

What happens when 45,000 voices unite to proclaim the worthiness of Jesus? That's the scene from Passion 2026 in Arlington, Texas, where the original version of this beautiful song was sung.

As always, Emmanuel adds his signature touch to the song, making it easy to drift away in your mind to one of Passion's concerts and sing along.  As you listen to Emmanuel's piano arrangement, may you reflect on these timeless truths.

This salvation that can never be earned; it is given to you and me.  When you feel that your hope has "grown too cold to resurrect," may thi...
