In the final chapter of Ruth, we witness the beauty of redemption fully realised. Boaz steps up with integrity and courage, not only securing Ruth’s future but playing a key role in God’s unfolding salvation plan. This message explores the contrast between half-hearted faith and full commitment, and shows how God’s grace can redeem anyone, no matter their past. Ruth’s story ends not just in love and restoration, but in legacy, leading all the way to King David, and ultimately to Jesus.

Listen now to discover how your story can be part of God’s greater story.

Ruth - Chapter 4 – Simon Elliott

It's called "Jack Tar's Brave Day."

Jack Tar is a tall figure in sea lore known for his bravery on the high seas. His bravest day, however, occurred on land when he was a boy: on his second day of school when he admitted what he really did know how to do. . . and what he did not.

“Only Come Home” is an intimate acoustic ballad about returning to your roots after years away. Written from the heart, it tells the story of leaving at 18 to chase the city lights, then coming back to find family changed, loved ones gone, and new generations born. With soulful vocals and stripped-back guitar, it’s a raw reflection on family, loss, and rediscovering what truly matters.

This track is for anyone stepping out of their wild 20s, realizing time doesn’t wait, and reconnecting with the people and places that built them. Honest, haunting, and healing.

Only Come Home

“More Than You Know” is the most personal song I’ve ever written.

It’s about my daughter — and the quiet pain of watching her begin to pull away as she stepped into her teenage years. The shift from “Daddy” to “You don’t understand me” felt like losing a part of something I thought would never change.

I wrote and recorded this song in secret, not knowing if I’d ever share it — until the day I finally played it for her. We hugged. I sobbed. And for a moment, everything unsaid was heard.

This song is for parents holding on through the silence, and for the kids who are still finding their way back.

“She was feeling big feelings as she stared at the ceiling...”

Tillykke – skål for jer i dag

In the days of indecision,
In the haze of the truth,
When the path is dark and endless,
And the choice is up to you.

When the curtains start to open,
it’s time to do your part,
the world counting on you now
And you don’t know how to start

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.

In the times that test your spirit,
When the world is far from kind,
when hope is dim and fleeting,
and strength is hard to find.

When the road divides before you,
and the night won’t let you see,
When the weight is heavy on your shoulders,
And you don’t know who to be.

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.

Seasons changing way to fast
These years - where have they gone?
I hope you hear me still
When you’re on your own.

Trust your gut
Follow your heart
To thine own self be true
I’m with you.


I'm With You

No One Above Us

Grant Topi - No one above us

[Verse]
His name is Ricky Richardson
He's the rickety Rickshaw Rider
He's just one half of a matching pair
He's Ricky Richardson
The Rickshaw Rider

[Verse 2]
Rickety Ricky's lost his ride
You could say he got Rick-rolled
The rickety rickshaw rolled away
Rolled away
Leaving Rickety Rick

[Verse 3]
So now poor Ricky Richardson
The rickety Rickshaw Rider
Is feeling so forlorn
It's clear
Without his other half
He feels incomplete

Ricky Rickshaw

„Ein Band, das bleibt –
für dich, meine Schwester.
Wie ein Sternzeichen (Zeichenstern), der im Wasser geboren ist,
doch ein Herz aus Löwenkraft trägt,
so sehe ich dich: stark, mutig, einzigartig.

Wir haben gelacht, geweint und unsre eigenen Wörter erfunden.
Und zwischen allem – bleibt die Nähe,
die nur Geschwister kennen.

Dieses Lied soll dir gut tun,
dich tragen und erinnern:
Egal, wohin das Leben uns führt –
unser Band bleibt.
Für alle Ewigkeit.“

Ein Band, das bleibt

Ein Band, das bleibt - Intro

Who’s the Boss? The one who decides your schedule is. If it’s you and not God that will of course be problematic if you want things like happiness and connect. The Scripture says “happiness belongs to the Lord”. There’s another false belief: “I’d be happier if I was in charge”. Um. No you wouldn’t. Before your Fall wastes away, make some priority decisions up front?

I make music for the ones who feel too much, look too good doing it, and want to stand in their power. 

My songs live between disco lights and soul strides—soft vocals, sharp turns, and a little chaos and heat you didn’t see coming.

I’m not here to be perfect. I’m here to be felt. 💋

Ich schreibe gerne was ich denke, fühle und erlebe. Das Schreiben hilft mir, Erlebnisse einzuordnen und zu verarbeiten. 
Gefühlen eine Melodie zu geben ist etwas wunderbares. So kann ich Erinnerungen verewigen. 
Schreiben bringt Klarheit. Die Melodie dazu transportiert die Botschaft ins Herz.
Es ist ein bisschen Selbsttherapie
In erster Linie tue ich es um einen Ausgleich zu haben, also für mich selbst.
Die Texte sind direkt und frisch aus dem Herzen. Wenn ich aber jemand erreiche, der genauso fühlt wie ich, und damit jemanden berühre, freut es mich umso mehr.

Da ich nicht gut singen kann und sonst auch nicht der musikalischste bin, nutze ich eine KI für die Melodie und die Stimme.

Viel Spaß beim hören 🥰

Gruß Marco Memory
