Rachel Hale - Promised Land (CCM)


Rachel Hale has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Promised Land.

I love the lyrics of this song! I hear the lyrics as a prayer, and my favorite part is where Rachel sings the following lines: 
"For a promised land
Where your dreams are stars
That give you strength to stand
I will not fade
Still on my way
Take my hand to a promised land"

Rachel shared a video with her story behind the song. A story that helped me better understand the precious message that the song has, and I recommend viewing the story behind the song before listening to the music video....



We also have the lyrics for this song:

Man it feels like the desert
Thereʼs no rain coming down
I'm burning up in this wasteland
No release to be found

How long must I wander?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wander?
Is it too far?
Am I just too late?

For a promised land
For a promised land
Where your dreams are stars
That give you strength to stand
I will not fade
Still on my way
Take my hand to a promised land

Come too far to turn back
Still have miles ahead
Iʼve been searching for rest here
A rising up from the dead

How long must I wander?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wander?
Is it too far?
Am I just too late?

For a promised land
For a promised land
Where your dreams are stars
That give you strength to stand
I will not fade
Still on my way
Take my hand to a promised land

Even if I have to crawl
Even if I lose it all
When I am miles from home
Iʼll still be moving
And no matter what they say
Even if my bones break
I know itʼs not too far
Iʼll still be moving
To a promised land

How long must I wander?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wander?
Or am I just too late?

For a promised land
For a promised land
Where your dreams are stars
That give you strength to stand
I will not fade
Still on my way
Take my hand to a promised land
To a promised land

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

'Whatever It Takes – Acoustic' by Stephen Stanley: Embracing Divine Grace Amid Trial

Stephen Stanley vividly portrays the profound journey of faith in his moving acoustic rendition of the song 'Whatever It Takes'. His sincerity echoes the difficulties of completely surrendering one's heart to God despite being burdened by past mistakes and self-doubt. However, as we all know, the journey to the divine, while difficult, ultimately changes everything. 'Whatever it Takes,' a testament to Stanley's commitment, is a vocal affirmation to live continuously for God. The lyrics touch listeners' hearts as he admits, 'I've been reckless with my heart / Now I'm falling apart'; a message that many can relate to. This bold declaration is followed by a powerful surrender: 'I don't wanna be the same / I need You to be the change / I surrender all I am.' Stanley's song reaches out to everyone who has struggled with their shortcomings and leads them to the comforting presence of God. Self-doubt and the fear of falling may plagu...
