Thonia's "You Remain": Praising the One that you can always count on


"You Remain" by Thonia is a special song. The idea for the song came as Thonia was meditating on the unwavering presence of God in our lives. She shares, "Creating 'You Remain" was a deeply spiritual and reflective experience." The central inspiration for the song lyrics is the image of Jesus walking on water, calm amidst chaos. 

Thonia - You RemainThe song started as a melody, and together with her producer, they created a sound that combines modern Christian music with some folk and pop influences.

Thonia shares that the lyrics came naturally, supported by moments of prayer and personal reflection. She poured her heart into writing a song that can inspire anyone looking for hope and resilience.

The song clearly and beautifully shows that God is always there for us. Strong and reliable, especially when we are at our weakest. The lyrics express both vulnerability and strength and depict us holding onto God's hand through storms and winds. The chorus reassures us that, despite all of the challenges that life throws on our path, we can fully rely on the fact that God doesn't yield from our side-He is steady, true, and ever-present.

No matter what we have done in the past, He always gives us the possibility to reach out, hold Him tight, and stay by His side as He leads the way forward. He remains faithful, He remains true, He remains the friend that you can count on, even in darkness and fire. Will you let Him be there for you as well?

(Related scripture: Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 46:1-3; Matthew 14:29-31)

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...
