In the song ‘Remedy’ from Rachel Lampa’s album “All We Need” she sings about the one true solution for our lives:

I know where to go, to heal my heart, to sooth my soul,
But everything’s spinning out of control!
I know, I know to stay alive it gets so crazy day and night
But I got somebody by my side, by my side!

Every time I cry, and I wanna hide,
Feeling like I’m damaged on the inside,
You know just what to do!

Chorus:
You got what I need, you’re the remedy,
That’s why I’m keeping you close, you close
You know what’s best for me,
My only therapy…Jesus your love is my hope, my hope!
You’re my remedy, you’re my remedy!
You’re my remedy, you’re my remedy!

On point, off track, one step forward, two steps back,
Some days are gonna just like that, just like that!
You’re my medicine…
Relieve my pain again and again
Always take me back, no matter where I’ve been, where I’ve been

Every time I’m hurt and it doesn’t work
Feeling like it never could get any worse
I come running to you…

In the Lyrics
I am not your robot, I am not a clone
You are not my puppeteer and I am not a drone
Got a new master and I follow Him alone
I want a good life till I’m gone

Verse 1:
Hey I was born less than human
I know it sounds crazy
But I was really born a robot as a baby
No real life in me, I just played my role
No self control, I just did what I was told
I got my first order, I was just a day old
But I didn’t have a chance, cause my heart was way cold
My heart took the order, I couldn’t break the mold
Sold under bondage and I couldn’t take control
So I was just chilling in my robot clothes
With my robot friends, and my robot flows
Living robot ways, cause that’s all I know
Till I heard I could be freed from my robot soul, I’m like…

In her new single All This Time from Britt Nicole in which she reflects on part of her story, of a moment of pain as a child when God’s presence became so real to her, and inspires us to share our stories too. The song resonated with me so much because I can relate to her story, and I’m sure so many others could too, even if the details of ours are different…

Britt’s story behind the song:

“All This Time is my salvation story. It is the story of how I met Jesus, and a reminder that whatever we face in life, we don’t have to face it alone because Jesus promised to never leave us or forsake us.

Here is a glimpse at my story and I hope one day I can hear yours.

When I was seven years old my parents were going through a divorce. I remember running to my room with tears running down my face and opening my big, pink, Precious Moments Bible (I know some of y’all had one of those too! haha). I grew up hearing my grandpa preach about Jesus and in that moment I needed Him to rescue me. With barely any words I cried out to Jesus and right away I felt His presence fill my bedroom. I knew that He was real; I knew that He was with me and that He would never leave.

Be sure to download “All This Time” from iTunes, the first single from Britt’s NEW album GOLD coming March 27, 2012. I’m excited to hear more from the album!

Britt Shares a Message from the Studio

This spoken word piece from Jefferson Bethke where he shares his views on religion has been making waves around the web:

Hawk Nelson’s song “My Next Breath” is from their latest release Crazy Love and speaks so much on how much we rely on God for life and redemption:

Lyrics:
Just when I thought I was gone,
Too far, too far gone and no one cared
Just when I thought I was lost,
So lost I’d never be found
I turn around and you’re right there,
You’re right there

You open up your arms and give me a new start
I need you, I need you more than my next breath
I know that I am loved, cuz you bought me with your blood
I need you, I need you more than my next breath…

Ashamed of who I’ve become,
Afraid that if I look up I’d see your tears
But you have called me by name
And you have loved me the same
I’m forever changed and you are here,
You are here

You open up your arms and give me a new start
I need you, I need you more than my next breath
I know that I am loved, cuz you bought me with your blood
I need you, I need you more than my next breath yeah

I surrender my soul,
To your love, to your hope
Where you go I will go with you

You open up your arms and give me a new start
I need you, I need you more than my next breath
I know that I am loved, cuz you bought me with your blood
I need you, I need you more than my next breath yeah
