Hollyn | Tension (Official Music Video)

[@melissaechevarria6018]

Thank you Hollyn for being real about how you’ve felt and your relationship with God. Many Christians are often afraid to show their struggles and express their pain, but God knows our hearts. We’re not fooling Him by only saying what we think He wants to hear. We’re fooling ourselves. God wants every piece of us, every tear, every scar. He wants us to take refuge in Him. Those people who are judging Hollyn so harshly for doing something that might interest a secular audience are not seeing how God can use her to reach people who traditional Christian artists haven’t been able to reach yet. God works in many ways. And He takes what the enemy meant for evil and turns it for His good. As a Christian who has felt lost and hopeless and desperate and frustrated, it’s inspiring to see how she still continues to pursue God and grow in her relationship with Him. God doesn’t stop loving us no matter how many times we feel broken down or distant. Hollyn has different songs for different seasons and moments. If you don’t like this song and can’t relate, then this message might not be for you at this time. I pray this song reaches those it was intended to reach and that their hearts will be open to God and to healing. 🙏❤️

[@sherrydickherber7078]

Couldn't have said this better myself! And I am in total agreement with what you have expressed. May all who hear this song be blessed and challenged by the message of it and may God continue to bless and prosper Hollyn as she pursues Him and shares Him with us, in Jesus name.

[@jacobsonstudios]

"the what if's" are one of my current struggles, maybe this song was released at the right time for me.

[@myyoutube7048]

So many that are struggling like this and fear to express it. Let’s pray for one another as Jesus instructed us to do so! We love like God when we have God in our hearts! 🙏🏽❤️

[@aquina29]

I loved this. I believe I understood what she was trying to communicate. If you ever been waiting on a promise that is taking a great deal of time to receive from the Lord, chances are you have experience different emotions. Energy, exhaustion, frustration, impatience...ECT. This video isn't for everyone as you will have to see the symbolism and understand the artistry of interpretive dance. Beautiful and relatable. New theme song😍!

[@Dianasaur78]

Woah, that was such a cool video. I didn’t expect that to be so strange and artistic! Thanks for making such a creative Christian, yet edgy piece of work! Both the song and the video are great!

[@lexa4066]

Love your new stuff Hollyn. This one is really powerful and will impact others especially in the Christian realm who are struggling and can come to good songs like this to find refuge and hope, and know they aren't alone. And when your music is not specifically labelled as Christian, others will come and enjoy it and find good messages in them, which is amazing. (Hope you understand what I'm trying to say haha) I'm glad that you are making the art you want to make, it must feel so good :)

There was no reason for this to go as hard as it did you you did the dang thing!

This is a beautiful song, i thought of my sister who suffers from a mental condition. It wasn't until near the end of the end of the song i thought of her, at first i couldn't work out what the song was about, and yes we all suffer differently, and my sister she is a beautiful person very gentle & yet she suffers. (The knife is not to kill but to learn how you must use it the right way. Like a two edge sword sharp to defend for the right cause.) God is good

I love Hollyn's music and all the lyrics, she makes an extra effort to give it a meaning and it has helped me a lot to understand and express thoughts and feelings to myself and to God. But I don't get the meaning of this one. Can someone explain me?😅 PD: Sorry for the writing, I'm practicing 😁.

[@crystalspencer6396]

I think songs are multi-faceted. They can mean different things to different people at different moments in their life. So, I can only give you my view on it. Someone else might give you a different perspective and at the same time, it could mean something different to Hollyn. To me it’s that moment when there is a lot of pressure, expectations, and/or stress in your life and you don’t know what to do next. You’re stuck. The tension is getting to you. You’re praying and praying but still waiting for God to advise you…to guide you on what course to take; what to do next. 😊

this stage is very difficult, and I am concerned about the meaning of the knife in this song, I don't want the message to be misinterpreted and someone thinks of "doing it"

[@haileythorne9415]

I agree, as a person who suffered sh, it was very triggering!

[@SuperHamrick94]

When I heard the song, I thought the opposite, actually. I thought of it as "felling the tension in the room" and "you could cut it with a knife" and really coming through and taking control of your life. From the teasing she did before releasing this song, that's why I thought that, and it kinda makes sense

[@christinakelly6794]

I mean this in the kindness way possible. My sister who lost many people to that and who even considered it herself even went as far as going out of state to do it, found nothing wrong with the knife. Instead it meant a different to her than it did me and only meant to be her heart suffering from her mental health. I'm not saying that you're wrong and I'm right, I just wanted to put that out there. ❤️

[@zoewillaschek462]

I think, the msg od the Story Is: God comitted your pain And tension fór some reason. This tension Is So great, that IT seems unbearable And impossible to Carry.....but this Is exactly the moment for the humans answer: "God, i can't solve it, Carry IT Alone, so...solve it instead of me!" God has Always a Proper (as a knife)solution (not ONLY some parts, but "a whole solution - a programme of personal rehabilitation by his merciful love"). You can watch the potentional killing knife absolutely peacefully again, because you Are hidden And healed in His arms And prepared to live fully again with healthy self aware
