Anne Wilson testified how a listener desisted from su1c1d3 after hearing her song “My Jesus”. The impact of the song was so great that she decided to seek help instead of ending her life.
The testimony shared by Anne Wilson has touched thousands of people around the world, highlighting the deep influence that faith-based music can have in moments of extreme pain and vulnerability. For many listeners, songs are not just melodies, but lifelines that arrive at the exact moment when hope seems to be fading.
“My Jesus” is a song that was written after the death of his older brother Jacob in a car accident. It has already won important awards and has been on the list of most listened to songs. Wilson commented:
There’s a lady who came to me on the show the other week, she was battling cancer and she lost all her hair… She said she was ready to end her life.
But she was in the car and heard My Jesus on the radio, and she decided to give her life to Jesus and put those thoughts aside. And she now lives free in Jesus, still battling cancer, but she knows that she has a purpose and a reason for being here.
This testimony reflects the reality that many people silently struggle with emotional and physical suffering. The combination of illness, loss, and hopelessness can push individuals to the brink, yet this story serves as a reminder that a simple moment—like hearing a song—can become a turning point that changes the course of a life.
Anne took advantage of that moment to talk about the impact that music can have on a person’s life:
There is so much power in music, especially music that glorifies Jesus. So just thinking back to when I wrote this song, and now seeing how many lives it has impacted, it’s an honor and I’m so grateful.
Her words emphasize that music inspired by faith is not merely entertainment, but a form of ministry. Through lyrics rooted in real experiences and trust in God, artists like Anne Wilson are able to reach people who might never step into a church, yet are open to listening during moments of solitude, such as driving alone or resting at home.
Like the listener, the singer expressed that she had also gone through a process of depression after the death of her brother, so she wrote a book about the whole process. Writing became part of her healing journey, allowing her to reflect on grief, questions, and the restoration she found through her faith.
I wanted to share the story moment by moment, page by page, chapter by chapter to share with people what God has done in my life and how he has brought me to where I am today so that I can act and sing about my Jesus… Our testimonies are very important.
By openly sharing her testimony, Anne encourages others to speak about their struggles and victories, reminding believers that God can bring purpose even from the deepest pain. Her message resonates with those who feel broken, showing that healing is often a process, but one that does not have to be walked alone.
Stories like this reaffirm the importance of Christian music as a source of hope and comfort. Songs such as My Jesus continue to reach hearts, offering reassurance that life has meaning, that pain is seen by God, and that there is always a reason to keep going.
Ultimately, this testimony reminds us that God can use any medium to reach a hurting heart. Whether through a conversation, a book, or a song heard unexpectedly on the radio, His message of love and purpose continues to find people where they are. The story behind “My Jesus” encourages believers to remain sensitive to God’s voice and to trust that even their own pain can become a testimony that brings light, hope, and life to others who are walking through dark seasons.
