Emily Faith - Rebel (CCM)


Emily Faith has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Rebel.

This song carries a message of hope and a reminder that God is in control in spite of all the hurt and fear spreading throughout the world. 

While many artists feel pressure to fit into one box, Emily Faith chooses to fight against that narrative as she tells stories of faith, freedom, and persistent joy rooted in Jesus while highlighting the country styles of the Opry stages where she grew up performing.
Emily’s entry into the Contemporary Christian space began in 2017 when she opened for the Newsboys “God’s Not Dead - Rivals” tour, and shortly after, opening for FOR KING & COUNTRY when she was only 16. Releasing a few Christian pop songs, making regular writing trips to Nashville, and connecting with the right production team helped Emily develop her sound which includes elements of both Christian and Country.

Openness and true connection radiate through Emily’s music and lyrics. Drawing from her own personal experience with faith and culture, Emily’s songs walk listeners through a positive journey, encouraging them in their faith while bringing a sense of settled happiness.

Lyrics:

Staring at my screen
See the hurt and fear
Sticks and stones get thrown  
I’m on the edge of tears

Tough to not lose heart 
When I look around these days
World with so much dark
Weighing on my faith

Trying hard to drag me down
But I’m gonna stand my ground 
Won’t let go of this strength I’ve found

Call me a rebel
I won’t give up hope
I’ll keep believing
God’s still in control
There’s a reason for every moment
There’s a love that won’t let me go 
So call me a rebel
A rebel
Cause I won’t give up hope
No I won't give up hope

I know what to do
Shut the world away
Spend some time with you
It starts to lift the weight

You’ve got each moment in your hands
You see beyond the things I can 
 I want the future you’ve got planned
Your power gives me strength to stand

Call me a rebel
I won’t give up hope
I’ll keep believing
God’s still in control
There’s a reason for every moment
There’s a love that won’t let me go 
So call me a rebel
A rebel
Cause I won’t give up hope
No I won't give up hope

Go against the grain
Stepping out in faith 
Don’t care what they say
I won't give up
Go against the grain
Stepping out in faith 
Don’t care what they say
I won't give up hope

Call me a rebel
I won’t give up hope
I’ll keep believing
God’s still in control
There’s a reason for every moment
There’s a love that won’t let me go 
So call me a rebel
A rebel
Cause I won’t give up hope
No I won't give up hope
I won't give up
I won't give up hope

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.

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Navigating Life with Faith and Friends

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson explores one of the Greek words for love. This song focuses on "phileo" (friendship) and its vital role in life's storms. "Phileo" translates to love that is characterized by affection, fondness, and friendship. It's a warm, tender, and affectionate bond, often seen between friends, siblings, or within a community. It's more about the natural affection we have for those who are close to us.  Chelsea wrote this song when she returned home after living in Cambodia for two years. Faith brought her to Cambodia, sustained her there, and guided her back, but the journey left her feeling like "a little boat" lost in raging seas. At times we may feel like, "I'm drowning, drowning treading water in the wind // I'm drowning, drowning I could use a friend." It's a cry for connection, a reminder that we all need someone to anchor us when fear starts to take over. The fears and lies tha...
