Ben Myers

Ben Myers was sitting in the hospital room with his wife Marlayna after they were given the news that they had lost their unborn child. Sorrow and grief had overcome them both as anger crept in. After months of avoiding God’s presence, and after being inspired by his wife’s strength, Myers decided to grab his guitar and put his emotion to song. Through the sadness and frustration, Myers’ song “Tired” was written as a response to his struggles. “Tired” placed him in the quarterly top 10 of the CMunited songwriters contest along with a number 1 spot on the Christian radio chart it’s first week of release. The song speaks of perseverance through trials and emphasizes that with God, there is triumph in tribulations.


Today, Ben Myers writes of giving your life to Christ and being buried in the water of baptism, as heard through the lyrics of his new song, “Bury Me In The Water”. This song is an anthem of being a victor through Christ Jesus, and clinging to Him in good times and in difficult times. With influences such as Zach Williams and Rhett Walker, Myers continues to write songs that point to peace and joy through Jesus. Myers now looks back at the day he lost his unborn child and finds peace in knowing that through the struggle he gained perseverance.
