We all remember Tina’s fiery version—an anthem that burns like a thunderstorm. But when Sarah sang it, the song changed. Her voice softened the storm into a steady flame, glowing low but steady, like a candle that keeps burning through the night.
It was the same song, the same words, but it carried tenderness. Take a listen to this street musician’s beautiful cover of Tina Turn’s hit, ‘The Best.’ It will stop you in your tracks and breathe fresh air into your soul.
And it made me think: isn’t that how God works with us?
The world often shouts, demanding power, recognition, and noise. But God whispers. He takes what we think must be big and makes it small and sacred. He turns the thunder of our striving into a quiet flame of His presence. His love doesn’t need to shout to be strong—it holds steady through the long nights, burning faithfully when we need it most.
I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need
Hearing Sarah’s voice on that street corner was a reminder: the greatest love song is the one God sings over us. It’s steady. It’s tender. It’s better than all the rest. What I love most is watching her sing. She doesn’t come to us in fancy, frilly outfits.
She comes to us with simplicity. She’s dressed in a tank top and sweatpants. It’s almost like she needed to get out of her house, get a breath of fresh air, and to connect with the world. We all feel that way sometimes and music is the language that no matter where we are in life, it’s the lifeline that connects us.
Friend, maybe today you’re weary of the noise of life. Maybe you feel small or unseen. Let this remind you: you are God’s beloved, His chosen, His “best.” His song over you never stops, and His love will outlast every storm.
Zephaniah 3:17 “He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
