It was a song of comfort for my soul.
It was and continues to be a song of hope and promise. A promise that even in the valleys, the caves, the midst of all the noise and business of this life we live, THERE His desire is that we be fully at rest, in the safety of the pal of His hands.
This is what He wanted all along, for us to find rest in the promise that is Jesus Christ. In the secure hope that one day soon enough, we will walk with Him in the cool of the day just like Adam did. And that until that day, we must only lean into His presence.
” In Your arms I can rest, here in Your presence, I can breathe again. “

This song will also be available for radio adds on February 18th. Today’s release features the upcoming radio version of the song along with the album and various live performances of the meaningful song.
“Personally this song has been one that I have sung in my house weekly since I wrote it,” shares Pat Barrett. “I’m the king of getting ahead of myself and looking too far into the future worrying about what is ahead. This song brings me to a place to be fully present today. All throughout scripture we have verses that point towards what God has done as proof that we can trust Him to walk with us for whatever is next. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that we have an invitation from God to wake up every single day to use the rising of the sun as a metaphor of His faithfulness to meet us today, tomorrow, and every day after. I hope this is a centering prayer to start your day from a place of trust and worship.”
The song was originally heard on his 2021 studio project, Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly. He followed that release with a special live EP Nothing / Something (Live), which featured songs from the 2021 studio project with guest artists like Mack Brock, Chris Tomlin, and Dante Bowe.

Based on Romans 6:18, the new single is “a lyrical proclamation to the enemy,” G.L.O says, adding, “Upon receiving Christ Jesus, satan no longer has power over our lives.”
Kim Ruiz wrote the lyrics and the music is by Alex Rene Espinoza, who also produced the song. “Puppet” follows the No. 1 “Ignite,” which debuted in the top spot when it dropped at Christian Hip Hop and Christian CHR-formatted radio outlets in 2021.
Prior radio hits include: “Ephphatha,” which debuted at No. 1 on CRC Weekly, ranked No. 5 at CRC Monthly and No. 9 at CRC Quarterly; “Closer,” No. 1 single at CRC Weekly and CRC Monthly, as well as hitting No. 2 at CRC Quarterly, and ranking No. 10 on the CRC Yearly chart; “No Weapon Formed,” topping the charts at No. 1 at CRC Weekly, No. 2 at CRC Monthly and No. 6 at CRC Quarterly; and “Reborn,” released in 2019 as the debut single from G.L.O’s album of the same name, hitting No. 1 at CRC Weekly, No. 2 at CRC Monthly and No. 7 at CRC Quarterly.
Music has been important to G.L.O since she was young. When she received Jesus Christ as her Savior in 1998, she asked God to reveal her purpose. As she began writing songs, the songwriter noticed that none of her songs glorified God.
“That all changed one fateful day,” G.L.O says, “when God had a Word for me in Bible Study: ‘You can’t have one foot in the world and one foot out.’ After receiving that message, it was the breakthrough I needed. I haven’t looked back.”
With a ministry that knows no boundaries and one that reaches the young and the old, G.L.O’s prayer is that her music can break down the misconception that rap is only of the world.
G.L.O has appeared on local TBN networks as well as UK London International TBN. She has performed onstage at the Gospel Superfest where she shared the platform with artists such as Deitrick Haddon, Lecrae, Dorinda Clark-Cole, and others. She has enjoyed radio airplay from U.S. and international radio outlets.
