Music Monday - "The Darkness" by Built By Titan ft. Svrcina
I'M LITERALLY OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG. The last time I posted for Music Monday was a loooong time ago (sorry!) but here we go! Hopefully I won't be as bad with posting as last year. 🙈
Like I've said before, finding a great contemporary song while being God-honoring is sometimes hard to find, so when I stumbled upon this song, I was stoked. Songs in the electronic/dance genres are especially hard to find. I've honestly never heard of Built By Titan or Svrcina. I literally found this song from googling "Christian EDM songs." Honestly, most of those results are usually not contemporary enough or too same-ol' sounding during the entire song, but I found this gem and I ended up buying it the next day.
I gotta admit, when I first listened to the chorus, I was like, what in the world is this song about? Is this actually a Christian song? When listening to it in the car for the first time with the family, my mom was, like, "Ummm...what is this song about?"
In the darkness/In the darkness/I will find You/In the darkness
It sounded like a dark song so to speak...pun unintended. Then I realized that it's about going through dark valleys in life but still seeing the Light through it all; a theme I love.
When you go through dark stages in life, do you seek the Light or do you just wallow away?
For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (Eph 5:8).
If you're going through a dark valley right now, pray this verse:
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps 27:1)
Remember,
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it (Jn 1:5).
This stage in life will pass in time, but for now, hold on to - seek - cling - to the Light; Jesus. Just because we live in a world and culture that loves darkness, doesn't mean we should act like them. We are a chosen people! No, being different isn't easy, but it beats being in the darkness all the time.
For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness (1 Thes 5:5).
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son (Col 1:13).
Friends, I hope you will not just enjoy this song for it's sound but savor the words and really think about what you do in the darkness. Do you seek Light?
Love this song! Also, your Instagran claimed you had a new post. Why such lies? JK.
