ELEVATION RHYTHM, Joe L Barnes - SIMPLE (feat. Joe L Barnes) (CCM)


ELEVATION RHYTHM, Joe L Barnes has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called SIMPLE (feat. Joe L Barnes).

Here are the lyrics to this song: 

Lyrics:

When I was just a kid
I dreamed about the life I’d live
Buy fancy cars and a new crib
And cruise around with all my friends
I’ve been waking up
And realizing all those things
They look so different through a screen
That type of life ain’t what it seems
Isn't what it seems

The designer bags are not all bad
But I’ll never find my worth in that

I 
Don’t need
A Bunch a money, clothes and diamond rings
To be 
Happy
All the best things in life are free
Give me the simple things

People might say
There’s a game you gotta play
Just play along and you’ll get paid
But I refuse to be a slave
I’m just gonna be me
Love all the weird things on my skin
My crooked smile my lazy grin
I’m throwing caution to the wind

Cause what’s popular don’t always last
So I’m okay with being the outcast

Joshua Holiday, Davide Mutendji, Joe L Barnes, Chelsea Plank
CCLI: # 7175274

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"I Stand Amazed In The Presence" by Jonathan Abel: When Everything Fails, This Holds

When life falls apart, what’s left to stand on?  At 32 years old, Jonathan Abel was in the hospital, unable to stand or walk without his heart racing above 130bpm. His nervous system was shutting down, and he didn’t know if he’d see 33. In the silence of that crisis, something broke open — not his faith, but his illusions about where his faith had been anchored. Health, strength, and the ability to fix yourself. These feel like solid ground until they aren’t. Jonathan writes that the temptation to root your identity in perfect health and great wealth is “deceivingly real.” But when everything he trusted in his own body failed, one truth held firm: Christ had already done what Jonathan could never have done for himself. This is the key message behind this song, “He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own. He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered, and died alone.” Jesus didn’t observe suffering from a distance — He absorbed it.  Romans 8:18 says it plainly: “I...

Ryan Stevenson - Carry Me (CCM)

Ryan Stevenson’s song ‘Carry Me’ is a powerful and emotive plea for help and guidance, and a reminder of the transformative power of faith. The lyrics are deeply personal and relatable, touching on themes of weariness, loneliness, and uncertainty. The song is a testament to the power of prayer and the strength we can find when we surrender our burdens to God. Stevenson’s own story of finding his way to a deeper understanding of grace and God’s love gives the song even more resonance. The honesty and vulnerability with which he shares his struggles and doubts will resonate with anyone who has faced similar challenges in their own life. The music itself is a beautiful and stirring blend of keyboard, guitar, and electronic elements, creating a haunting and atmospheric sound that perfectly complements the lyrics.
