The song "Savior, Please" by Josh Wilson is a prayer. At its core, the song centers on the idea that we cannot be without God. Some of us might think that we are strong enough but in the end we will come to realize that we cannot do anything without God's grace. We are indeed nothing without God's love.
Josh Wilson is a north American contemporary Christian singer. The song "Savior, Please" is from his 2008 album "Trying to Fit the Ocean In a Cup."

Our God is a forgiving Father. The whole purpose of giving us His only begotten Son is to facilitate forgiveness. The song "Forgiven" stresses that "I don’t have to carry the weight of who I’ve been, cause I’m forgiven." God forgives us because we are a treasure in the arms of Christ.

The website was founded by Jeff Myers, a convicted drug user and a former producer of online pornography who decided to dedicate his life to Christ during his court trial and eventual yearlong imprisonment.

No one else can ease our pain. No one else can lift us up when we're down. No one else but God. The song "By Your Side" by Tenth Avenue North talks about just that. It speaks of God's faithfulness and desire to be with us even during our darkest moments.
What's so amazing about God's grace is that we do not have to deserve it to receive it. God gives it to us freely and fully no matter what. We do not have to earn God's love. God loves us not because we are worthy, but because He is loving.

My bedroom is on the top floor of a six-storey building in Sta. Mesa, Manila. From my bedroom window I can see much of the Manila skyline. The sun was setting as I began writing this post and it filled my room with warmth and golden hues. And I found myself relishing the evening as I listened to TobyMac's "City on Our Knees". If you gotta start somewhere, I sang along with TobyMac, why not here. If you gotta start sometime why not now.
I stopped everything else I was doing, closed my eyes, l...

The most unforgettable moments in listening to music are when you come across something - an idea, a way of looking at the world, a prayer, a feeling - which expresses what you have always longed to say. The song "Two Hands" by Jars of Clay is one such piece of music. Its lyrics beautifully convey the idea that if there's one thing our hands should do, it is to praise God. We need to lift our hands to give glory to God. And we need to use our two hands to help others.
Jars of Clay is an Ame...
