Gerren Lavey's "Soul War" seeks the unvarnished truth about battle and the spiritual power to endure. Penned during one of the darkest chapters of his life, this song is more than just a song but a testament of hope and perseverance. For anyone who finds value in the song's message, Gerren is currently seeking ways to expand this message through radio, magazines, social media, websites, and any other possible interactions this song may have sparked.
It was three years ago that Gerren found himself in turmoil, a state of mind that resonated long-term. However, it was through this ordeal and his faith in Jesus of Nazareth that he saw a sense of peace and hope. "Soul War" is his attempt to tell that story, a close look at the battles we all face, and at the underlying, barely discernible strength in surrendering to something larger than ourselves.
The words to the song are heartfelt, genuine scenes of hardship offset by the thread of hope. Gerren's use of his voice is compelling, guiding the listener through ebbs of insecurity and flows of resolution. There is an honesty to this that encourages connection, and it is easy to identify with whether or not you've been through what she has or just a reminder that you are not alone.
"Soul War" is more than a personal catharsis; it is an invitation to all who find themselves facing life's harshest seasons to hold on to believe in endurance through faith and time. Gerren openly wishes that this song can bring encouragement and grace to others who might be fighting their own battles, sending the message that peace can still push through the pain. "Soul War" is poised to act as a beacon by which listeners in need of strength, as well as Gerren Lavey himself, can see and be seen.
