Why You Need To Listen To Lecrae's New Song

"I'll Find You" is the next best thing for Christian Rap

I have always been a lover of music--country music to be more specific. Over time though, going to a private Christian school, I picked up on the genre of Christian Rap. A more wholesome type of "pump up" music for those who aren't particularly big fans of the everyday explicit Rap music. The point is that I believe that every person needs to listen to Lecrae's newest song "I'll Find You." Here's why:

The nice edition of Tori Kelly's vocals in this song is just so inspiring. I believe that the point of this song is to reach out to everyone. We are humans and we all suffer: sickness, pain, loneliness, hate, and death are all things we will experience in this life. It is important to listen to the lyrics of this song. I have listened to a lot of empowering songs in times of darkness. This song just spoke to me a way that I cannot exactly explain. To me, the words Tori Kelly sings throughout the song feels like what God would say to us and Lecrae is talking about the human condition in our struggle.

There are a few lines that stick out to me:

"They say don't get bitter, get better. I'm working on switching those letters."

Seems easier said than done, right? But something in this line just hits home with so many people. We can easily sit around and complain about life, but like Lacrae says, maybe we should work on switching the letters and do something about it.

"They say fear haunts, And pain hates, I say pain strengthens, And fear drives faith."

Fear and pain are not avoidable, but it is what you do with them that matters. You have the control on how something effects your life and how you respond!

It might be the fact that this music video is for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and to raise money for kids with cancer. But this song touched me way before I had seen the music video. I hope this song touched you as much as it touched me. Music can always make us feel a certain way if we give it a chance.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
