Here to Stay by Loulita Gill – A Song for When Life Feels Out of Control


Loulita Gill's song "Here to Stay" might just be the gentle reminder you need when it feels like life is spinning out of control. Written with her longtime friend and producer, Aron Bicskey, this song is about God being your constant factor and unshakeable foundation in a world that is anything but stable.

Loulita Gill - Here to StayThe lyrics are very comforting in times when confusion pulls you down, just like Loulita sings, "Even when I feel that I'm a stranger / Living in a world out of control." We've probably all felt similar moments in our lives. Loulita continues with a powerful chorus: "You never leave me / You never shy away / You're here to stay." Just let this truth sink in for a moment… What can possibly go wrong when we have Him in our lives?

The lyric "Draw me closer / Draw me deeper into your love" is an invitation to drop everything that is weighing us down and simply run to Him. When it feels like you're drowning or doubts are flooding your heart, may this song help to remind you that He's unchanging, here to stay, and always ready to offer hope.

If you've ever doubted whether God is truly here to stay, then give this song a listen. Let Loulita's voice guide you back to the essence of His promises. It's a song that you'll probably want to listen to again and again.

(Related scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6; Psalm 46:1-2; Hebrews 13:5)

"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 ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"In Victory" by Veanea: Praise Is How You Live in Victory

Jesus rose. That changes everything about today. Veanea had a simple goal: glorify the God of signs and wonders. What she didn’t expect was how quickly He would show up in the process.  Veanea had been working on a verse when a chorus for the song broke through —  “Amazing signs and wonders King!” She sang it over and over, sat down at the keys, and the bridge practically wrote itself. That evening, she prayed honestly, telling God she couldn’t write about His wonders without completely depending on Him. The next morning, on a train, she opened her Bible to Psalm 66. The verses seemed to sing right off the page in the exact melody she’d just received. She laughed, realizing that God had already answered.  That same joy runs through every line of the song. “You calmed the storm and stilled the wind and Your arm split the sea // So I can walk ahead in victory.” The God who parted waters for Israel is the same God who is walking with you through whatever it is that you’re carry...
