Skillet (Christian rock band) has an awesome song called “Last Night” from their album called Comatose. It is a song of hope for someone who is in despair. It starts talking about a teen who has scars on their wrists…and God says…it is your last night away from me!!!
My husband and I work with teens in our church. This song is desperately needed in today’s world. Our youth are hurting. They mutilate themselves, starve themselves, they dabble with drugs, alcohol, and sex.
Self destruction is all around them…it is ” normal”. Their families are hurting…their friends are hurting….God is there for all. It doesn’t matter your age. He is just waiting to hold you and comfort you and offer something more than pain, depression, and humiliation.
If you know someone who is hurting and needs hope….Skillet has the words and the hope in their songs. Alot of today’s ministry songs get overlooked because of a different style of music than most people are used to. Try to find a style of music that speaks to you; one that delivers real life situations and emotions.
Our world is full of misery, sadness and depressing things. With media coming at us 24/7 it is easy to feel that there’s nothing else out there. Not true. The enemy would have us feeling alone and defeated. Find a source of strength, hope and help. Worship music has it there for you in all styles of music; there is something to please everyone.
Let it wash over you and lift you up!
