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

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"One That Matters" by Marija Clara: Because Only One Voice Matters

The song "One That Matters" by Marija Clare was born in a sunlit home studio in Tegucigalpa. The song sounds like a celebration, but the story behind the song adds a deeper meaning to the lyrics. Marija Clara wrote this song after a miscarriage, and that contrast shapes the song’s message! Joy isn't denial of the facts. Joy is what comes after the facts... joy is healing in the presence of Jesus. In other words, the bright horns and Latin rhythms are not just for dancing, they’re a reminder that God can turn even the most raw grief into a place of renewal. In these lyrics, Marija names the pressure that you probably also feel around you: everyone watching, expecting you to achieve, you can't permit yourself to slow down. Instead of chasing every demand, she points us to the freedom of knowing that when we have Christ, everything else in our lives becomes secondary. Each line in the song circles back to this simple confession: He is the only One that matters, He resha...

"All Praise (Great Are You Lord)" by Aaron Goodhew: Remembering His Sacrifice, Embracing His Reign

Aaron Goodhew's song, "All Praise (Great Are You Lord)," is a reminder of the ultimate hope that fuels our faith. Aaron shares that the inspiration for this song came to him while studying Revelation, specifically chapter 7. He was moved to tears by the promise of believers surrounding God's throne for eternity, experiencing pure joy, and free from all suffering. Just look around you at all of the suffering around the world, as well as the suffering close to home. Realize that we're just seeing a glimpse of all the suffering that is happening.  There is hope! Aaron explains, "The hope of that future in Christ is the fuel that drives believers every day to lay down their lives in pursuit of Jesus." This song is written with the desire that it will stir people to lift their eyes from their current circumstances and look up to Him who is seated in all authority.  The song reminds us of Jesus walking "the road that we deserved," carrying "th...
