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

'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...

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
