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)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Lay Your Weapon Down" by Curtis Ray: The Strength It Takes to Let Go

Pride feels powerful until it costs you everything that matters. Curtis Ray wrote “Lay Your Weapon Down” out of an honest wrestle with something most of us know too well — the pull between proving a point and preserving a relationship. In a world where the loudest voice and the sharpest argument seem to be rewarded, we tend to forget it’s not about surrendering conviction. It’s about asking an important question: “If love is not the motive behind what we say and do, then what are we really fighting for?” That question doesn’t let you off the hook easily. In 1 Corinthians 13:2 (ESV) we read: “And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” The Apostle Paul wasn’t being dramatic here. You can be completely right and still be completely empty. Knowledge, conviction, even faith — none of it carries weight without love underneath it. The song captures the essence of this sc...

"Welcome Home" by Mary Oz: Love Is Already at the Door

What if the door you’ve been afraid to walk through has been open for you all along? “Welcome Home” by Mary Oz recalls one of the most tender stories in the Christian faith — the return of the prodigal son. His return wasn’t a march of shame, nor was it a hero’s parade. It was a quiet, tired walk back to the only place that ever truly knew and loved him. Mary wrote this song with a soft invitation, a conversational opening that builds into something victorious, with harmonies and drums leading the charge. Then settling again into that same warm, assuring, and secure invitation. A progression that mirrors the journey home.  The lyrics remind us that Jesus isn’t asking you to clean up first. “Come in, lost and wild prodigal / ‘Cos Love is waiting by the kitchen door.” There’s no courtroom here. No checklist. Just Love — patient, unhurried, already standing at the door. The broken don’t arrive here as burdens; they arrive as loved ones.  That’s the heartbeat of Luke 15:20: “But ...
