Jeremy Camp and Anxious Heart

Monday, 13 February 2023 by Brandon Kyle

There is a great new song filling the airways! Here at KAMB we love sharing new music with you and we know you will love this one! This week you’re invited to take a closer look at Jeremy Camp and his latest hit, Anxious Heart.

Jeremy Camp

Even if you are new to KAMB or to Christian Music you likely know the name, Jeremy Camp. “I Still Believe,” a film based on Jeremy’s life detailing his first wife, Melissa Lynn Henning-Camp’s, diagnosis and subsequent battle with ovarian cancer shortly before they married, still shapes his ministry after more than 20 years.

“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.” Proverbs 12:25

Finding ways to raise our anxiety levels doesn’t take much effort these days. It is easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted by worry, and the only voices we hear are the ones inside our own minds which never offer much in the form of comfort. In an article for aleteia.org, by J-P Mauro, Jeremy spoke of his own battle with crippling anxiety.

“My daughter got the yellow fever shot and she got really sick … The doctor told me ‘you know, your daughter can die from the shot’ and so all my fears just came to a place where it was boiling up…”

“1,000 people responding to the Gospel, so rad things were happening. But inside, I just had this overwhelming fear and worry and just overprotection of the kids.”

“Here I am, I’ve been a Christian my whole life, gone through hardships and seen God be faithful in massive ways. Watching my wife die, telling her to go be with Jesus and then for him to be faithful to walk me through it. So I’ve known he’s there.”

Anxious Heart

Jeremy’s life has been full of trials and triumphs. God has been glorified through every moment and has used his journey to bring thousands of His children to Himself. In his new song, “ANXIOUS HEART,” Jeremy perfectly illustrates both the reality of the panic that sets in under the pressures of anxiety and a way to be free from the entanglement of its web.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Many of us, especially men, find ourselves claiming “trust in God,” all the while painstakingly striving to control every aspect of our families, finances, and our futures. Gods’ desire for us is to have a relationship with Him where He is in full control of every aspect of all those things. He also has an amazing way of getting our attention!

If you struggle with an “ANXIOUS HEART,” let me encourage you, take a few moments to listen and find the truth found in the lyrics of this song.

Locked up and I’m so in my head
Heart starts racing and I can’t slow it down
Hands shaking and l’m losing my breath
Paralyzed with a mind spinning out
My strength has grown weak
No words left to speak
I fell to my knees
Cause I know what I need
You are the light when my world goes dark
You hold me together when I’m torn apart
And when my thoughts have run away too far
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
Wrapped up in the arms of Your Love
Stilled by the silence above all the noise
Burden’s light when You’re lifting it up
Fear is terrified by the sound of Your voice
Cause You don’t grow weak
Your word is peace
I fall to my knees
Cause I know what I need
You are the light when my world goes dark
You hold me together when I’m torn apart
And when my thoughts have run away too far
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You know everything about me
You come and surround me
And everything that holds my soul
Falling is surrender
Learning to remember
You’re the One who’s in control
You’re the light when my world goes dark
You hold me together when I’m torn apart(Eh)
And when my thoughts have run way too far
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(Yeah)
You’re the life when my breath is gone(You are)
You’re the hope when I’m stuck in the storm(Ooh, Ooh, yeah)
And I know this is still who You are(Yeah)
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You’re the calm for my anxious heart(Oh-)
