Sarah Kroger Unveils “Galaxies”

Sarah Kroger unveils "Galaxies," the second single from her upcoming deluxe album. The bonus track has an overall folk pop feel that carries its wonder-instilling lyrics penned in collaboration with Leslie Jordan and Walter Halliwell. The song was birthed from the conceptual line "You set galaxies within us," which became the chorus's first line.
"I remember being instantly and deeply moved by this idea," Kroger said. "We were made in the image of God, who, in His boundless creativity, made the universe and all that fills it. Perhaps he has placed that same boundless creativity and complexity inside of us."
This song creatively declares the truth that what is impossible with us is not with God, as stated in the Gospel of Matthew. Kroger expands this idea by moving it from the macro to the micro, speaking to the heart of her listeners. The song is also a nod to one of her favorite authors, Madeleine L'Engle, who said:
"When I think of the incredible, incomprehensible sweep of creation above me, I have the strange reaction of feeling fully alive. Rather than feeling lost and unimportant and meaningless, set against galaxies which go beyond the reach of the furthest telescopes, I feel that my life has meaning. Perhaps I should feel insignificant, but instead I feel a soaring in my heart that the God who could create all this-and out of nothing-can still count the hairs of my head."
"Galaxies" is as expansive sonically as it is thematically, prompting listeners to see their stories as echoes of the endless possibilities of God's power, redemption, and grace.
