"May They Be Redeemed" by Folk Hymnal: Reflecting on the Gospel’s Truth


"May They Be Redeemed" is a retelling of the 'bigger' Christian story and challenges us to really think about this message and what it means to us. From the creation—"All had been made perfectly"—to the fall of mankind at the tree where "cons and lies" took hold, the song captures both the beauty of creation and the brokenness of our present world. The song then moves to Christ's redemptive gift to us—"God came to the tragedy, a ransom for the unjust"—and concludes with the hope we all may have in His return, the time when "pain and death will no longer reign." 

Folk Hymnal - May They Be RedeemedThe song challenges and makes you ask yourself the question, "is this my story? Is it really true?" The song is inspired by Frederick Buechner's description of the gospel as a "fairy tale that claims to be true," and we see this in the lyrics as gentle nudges to reflect and decide: "Let this story ring true, let it sing for me and you," followed by a recurring plea, "May they be redeemed." 

May this song spark introspection and help you find answers to questions about life's meaning and your place in God's story. Does this story ring true? If so, then "let it sing for me and you."

(Related scripture: Genesis 1:31; Romans 5:8; Revelation 21:4)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

Alexander Reign - Comeback (CEDM)

If you're looking for a song that will inspire you to keep going when you feel like giving up, look no further than 'Comeback' by Alexander Reign. This powerful track is more than just a catchy tune – it's a testimony to the power of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song's background is equally inspiring. After experiencing a major setback in both his spiritual and business life, Alexander found himself feeling discouraged and hopeless. He even took a break from music for a while. But then, he stumbled upon Isaiah 52:1, a verse that spoke directly to his heart and gave him the strength to pick himself up and try again.

The result is a powerful anthem that reminds us that even when things seem bleak, we can always find hope in God's love and grace. From the opening notes to the soaring chorus, 'Comeback' is a song that will get stuck in your head a...
