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.

"Dancing On Water" by Mary Oz: When grief has no power over Hope

(by Jasper Tan) I have always been a huge admirer of Mary Oz's music. Since the moment I discovered her songs, without fail, I've always made it a point to add them to my playlists. If there was one CCM artist from the Philippines who deserves to be heard on a global scale, then my vote belongs to Mary.  Her latest single, "Dancing On Water" (which is a part of her forthcoming album), is a pure acoustic folk/rock song that talks about breakthroughs from grief. As Mary shares, "Grief can swallow you whole, but it's not a life sentence. The morning will come, and with it, Joy." This is a very empowering statement that seeks to inspire her listeners to take courage, rejoice, leave the sadness behind, and just conquer their fears.  What I love about Mary's songwriting is her deep metaphorical lyricism that makes her songs stand out among the clutter of songs in this age of digital music. You'll definitely know that her songs are very well thought of...

“We Worship You I AM”, Doyin Teru – Worship in Spirit and Truth

"We Worship You I AM" by Doyin Teru is a relatively simple song with a massive vision and message behind it. The song was born in a moment of prayer. In Bolaji Teru's own words: "Few minutes into the prayers, I knelt down on my knees with the consciousness that God is present and must be revered. In a moment, tears began to flow from my eyes as I heard the song in my spirit as if it's being sung by thousands of others. So I joined them to sing the song and right after, took my phone, recorded the song and gradually began to develop and produced it." In other words, this isn't just another worship track; it's an invitation to join in with a heavenly chorus.  The song repeats a few core phrases: "We worship Your Majesty," "We worship Your Royalty," and the declaration, "We worship You, I AM." Instead of crowding the song with many words, it leans on the weight of God's revealed name  —  "I AM," the Etern...

'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...
