KDMusic - Bright Sky Blues - Acoustic & Dobro (CCM)


KDMusic has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Bright Sky Blues - Acoustic & Dobro.

"Bright Sky Blues is fun summer acoustic song in open tuning or DADGAD on guitar & dobro. There are hints of 'Sesame Street' in the guitar & 'I wish they all could be Californian' on the bass, with some nice brushes on the drums. I ran out of fuel once near the Mourne Mountains Co. Down, and had no mobile or cell coverage, but it was a beautiful day & I knew I'd get a lift eventually. So I sat on the bonnet (hood) of my car under a bright blue sky, surrounded by summer birdsong & buzzing bees and remembered these words from the sermon on the mount, in Matthew 6: "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these."
To fit in with that idea of the 'worry free beauty' of the bird and flowers, this lyric video has lots of fun animal clips that adults, families and kids will enjoy: People chilling in hammocks, pickup trucks with no gas, sea otters, wallabies, pigs, parrots, ducks, ducklings, camels, peacocks, dogs, orang-utans, love birds, a bald man, meerkats, pangolins, shelties, butterflies, flowers, beautiful girls, happy kids, lemurs, swans, goats, sheep, gibbons, kids with dogs, lion, armadillos, hedgehogs, Irish setters, black bear, penguins, elephants, pups, rhinos, hippopotamus, puppies, puppets, potters, woodworkers. I hope the song makes it onto your summer road trip playlist this year. we've had enough worry and its time for some fun!"

Lyrics:

Blue skies above my head,
I got food in my stomach, clothes on my back and a bed,
Life is generally, problem free,
I’m just takin the ups and the downs as they’re handed to me,
O I can’t change the past so there’s no point in worryin.

Fancy clothes and fancy cars don’t interest me,
Cos we’re all stink sinners anyway ……
an showin off is just cosmetic surgery
Can I pay my mortgage, will I be bald at 40,
Worry won’t help us my friend.
Can’t face the future till we get there,
Worryin is such a sin.

Middle 8
We’re the crown of God’s creation,
But just look at the birds and the flowers,
They’re more free an beautiful than us,
Cos they don’t bear worry’s scars.
Lead

Come to me when weak and heavy laden
The peace I give is nothing like this world gives,
Cos you get, peptic ulcers from rushin, and fussin, an ragin…
Like children playing mom an dad,
We run our lives as if we’re God it’s crazy,
Oh the problem is clear, we take ourselves too seriously,
We never take our neighbour seriously,
We never take our maker seriously.

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith. The opening line, "How wonderful is the cross of Christ,"  draws us into praise.  The song invites us to repentance and faith, but more importantly, the lyrics magnify the Trinity: the Father's eternal plan, the Son's sacrifice, and the Spirit's ongoing work in us. The song celebrates how every part of God is involved in redeeming us!  Have you ever wondered how a song can feel so unifying? That's the beauty of this song! It calls us, the Church, to stand together in bold praise. Instead of focusing on what divides us, it points us upwards, looking to our God who is glorious in love, power, and purpose. It encourages us to see the love of the Father, the blood of the Son, and how it is applied by the Holy Spirit.  There's no abstract theology in this song… the ...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Be Thou My Vision" by Son Francisco: Updating a Traditional Christian Hymn for the Modern Times.

Originally, "Be Thou My Vision" is a Christian Hymn that traces its roots to Ireland and Scotland. It is one of the most popular Christian Hymns in the United Kingdom. It has been interpreted multiple times by contemporary artists, mostly retrieving the Slane tune. I've heard the different versions of the song, most notably the one interpreted by contemporary artist Audrey Assad. But Son Francisco's version is a breath of fresh air. Composed and arranged as a ballad/lullaby, it evokes a Leonard Cohen-type song (though on the softer side of rock). I mean, there are really no replacements for the solemnity and the purity of the original hymnal version. But this is the type of arrangement that you can bring out to the secular world and transform the song into a more modern version. I love the subtlety of how Francisco attacks the opening lines of the song "Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my hear Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art…." It flows beautifully...
