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

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

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"Time in Your Presence" by Austin J. Smith: Why Wasting Time With God Is Never a Waste

Could “wasting time” be the greatest worship? Austin J. Smith wrote “Time in Your Presence” around a simple but countercultural idea: “love doesn’t calculate” . We live in a world that is obsessed with output — checklists, side-hustles, proving what we are worth through who we're seen with and what we accomplish. So what happens when you bring that same mindset into your relationship with God? Austin sums up the answer in a single, defiant line: “I’ll waste my time in Your presence.” Not because sitting with God earns us anything. “Earning” isn’t required by God. The lyrics elaborate on that tension. “The world just might think I’m foolish,” Austin sings, “to waste my whole life on you.” ‘Foolish’ by whose measure and which definition? Our culture rewards busyness and prestige, but it’s not capable of measuring the benefit of a quiet moment with your Creator. Austin calls God his “morning star” and “golden hour” — the beautiful moments of the day that don’t need justification...

"Great Lord" by Sarah Emerson: When Mountains Teach You to Worship

Can mountains make you want to worship? Sarah Emerson wrote “Great Lord” while on a trip up in Leavenworth, Washington, surrounded by beautiful mountains. She was craving a song that she could shout from the rooftops about how great God is! That’s where this song was born — not in a studio, but looking up to something that is too big to ignore. The lyrics open with an acknowledgement: “Great is the name of the Lord, powerful is His hand.” No qualifiers. No hedging. Just stating a fact. Then the song widens its lens. “Let every mountain, every valley, speak of all Your majesty.” Suddenly it’s not just Sarah praising His majesty — it’s all of creation praising Him, “You are Great, Lord.” Reflect for a moment on your own life. Where do you feel small? Where do circumstances seem too tangled to fix? The song addresses that tension, “Nothing’s impossible, You’re making all things new… Is there anything You can’t do?” In Isaiah 55:12 we read, “the mountains and the hills before you shall b...
