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)

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...

'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...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
