Bethany Thompson's 'All We Want': A Glorious Anthem of Faith


Bethany Thompson's second single, 'All We Want,' comes from a prayer, and reminds us of God's immense power and presence. This song is so fitting for this Christmas day, as it sends a message of hope. Hope has a name, a name so powerful that demons tremble at His name… the name of our King - Jesus. 

Bethany Thompson - All We WantThe lyrics lead our hearts and focus back to the source of the ultimate gift to mankind, our Prince of Peace and Almighty King. All of creation bows in awe of His grace. His glory surrounds us, and in His presence we are healed and changed. The chorus reverently repeats, "All we want is You," declaring what hopefully is also your deepest desire, for God's presence in your life. He is the Hope that is ready to be part of your life if you just open your heart and invite Him in. 

The bridge is so beautiful and is filled with devotion, singing praise, and where every step is taken for Him. The lyrics echoe our commitment to live for Jesus by aligning our hearts and lives with His purpose. 

Bethany beautifully summarizes the true meaning of Christmas: seeking and finding our everything in our Lord and Savior - King Jesus. May this song also be your prayer and declaration and an encouragement to celebrate Him every day of your life.

(Related scripture: Psalm 96:9; Revelation 4:11; Philippians 3:8)

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics by Kapa Freeman  Why are John Mayer's song lyrics so easy to remember? It comes down to human psychology. I am notoriously bad at remembering song lyrics, except for John Mayer's Songs. Other artists may write a song I remember here or there, but John Mayer does it consistently. Why? I discovered the reason when I was working full-time as a teacher. Teachers can always tell when they're losing students. When those eyes start to glaze over, when that one eyebrow raises in confusion and someone yells out... "I don't get it!"  I got those a lot when I first started teaching. Talking to other teachers, I soon discovered why. I was giving too much information at once. I would vomit these elaborate explanations, thinking that more information would help clear things up... But they just got confused. Talking to my teachers reminded me of lessons I'd learned while getting my teaching degree:  "People remem...

'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...
