Your Ways Better by Forrest Frank: A Song Review

In the world of Christian music, there’s been an incredible surge of uplifting and inspiring songs that not only sound great but also carry powerful messages for the soul. One artist who consistently delivers this is Forrest Frank. His music reminds me of the vibes from Surfaces — songs that instantly make you feel good, inspired, and ready to take on the day. Today, I want to review one of my favorite tracks from his deluxe album Child of God, titled “Your Ways Better.”

A Song That Resonates Deeply

From the moment I heard this song, I was hooked. The lyrics, the melody, and the overall feel of the track just spoke to me. Forrest Frank starts with the lines:

“When I’m overwhelmed within from the weight of all my sin, I need a friend to call my own. I need a house to call my home.”

This part hit hard because it’s such a relatable feeling. We all have moments when we reflect on our mistakes, feel weighed down by our sins, and just wish we could undo certain choices. In those moments, we don’t just need human reassurance — we need divine comfort. Through prayer, reading the Bible, and spending time with God, we are reminded that we are forgiven and always welcomed back into His grace.

The line “I need a house to call my home” speaks to that deep yearning we all have — to feel safe, accepted, and at peace. Sin can make us feel like strangers in our own hearts, but God is always there, ready to remind us that we belong with Him.

Trusting in God’s Timing

Another powerful line in the song is:

“I searched the world till my head hurt just to find out Your way’s better.”

How often do we try to fix things on our own? When we’re struggling, it’s so easy to turn to worldly comforts — going out, indulging in temporary pleasures like shopping, drinking, or distractions — just to escape our feelings. But the truth is, those things only provide momentary relief. I’ve personally experienced this struggle, especially when it comes to consumerism. I would buy a new pair of shoes, feel great for a few days, and then suddenly that high would fade, leading me to search for something else to fill the void.

But God’s peace? That’s different. It’s everlasting. It’s not fleeting like material things or temporary highs. When we seek peace in God, it lasts because He is constant, unwavering, and always there to provide true comfort.

God’s Unconditional Love

“You love every part of me, even when I was messy.”

This line is such a beautiful reminder of God’s unconditional love. There are times when we feel ashamed to come to God because we know we’ve messed up. We might even think, “How can I pray about this when I knew it was wrong, and I did it anyway?” But God doesn’t stop loving us just because we make mistakes. Just like parents still love their children even when they mess up, God’s love remains steadfast.

A Light in the Darkness

“Your way always gets me higher, even on my darkest days. You’re a lighter, my Messiah.”

No matter how dark our days may seem, God is always there, shining a light to guide us through. It’s easy to focus on the darkness, but this song is a great reminder that the sun is still coming. We just have to hang in there, trust in the process, and know that God is leading us to better days ahead.

Final Thoughts

I absolutely love this song. It’s uplifting, honest, and filled with messages that encourage faith and trust in God. Your Ways Better is just one of the many powerful tracks from Forrest Frank’s deluxe album Child of God, and I can’t wait to listen to the rest of them.
