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

'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...

"the cost (given for us)" by HOMECOMING: Feeling the Weight of Grace

HOMECOMING's "the cost (given for us)" looks at the weight of what Jesus gave up to save humanity. The backstory that HOMECOMING wrote this song after talking about how easy it is to say "Jesus died for me" without really thinking about what that means. Like, what did it actually cost Him? Their approach wasn't to create another "thank You" song, but a song that invites us to slow down and truly feel the sacrifice He made. His sacrifice wasn't just a painful moment on a cross. It was everything. He gave up heaven. He was rejected, betrayed, beaten… and He still chose the cross for us. That kind of love doesn't make sense. But it's real. The lyrics give words to the awe we feel: "You took my place // How can it be // By your grace I'm saved." And lines like "Your blood washed me clean" and "By your stripes I'm healed" remind us of the freedom and healing that He paid for. Then comes the part that ...

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common: Letting Go of People-Pleasing for Good

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common is an interesting song that was born out of this duo's struggles with wanting to please people and the pressure they felt to perform. The song reminds us to stop chasing others for their approval and start chasing Jesus instead. "I'm so done tryna be someone else just to keep people's attention," they sing. It can be very exhausting to constantly pretend and perform. The song reminds us to keep our hearts and lives centered on Jesus—the only one who truly is worthy of being our role model. Not for applause. Not for attention. But because His way is the only one that brings real peace and fulfillment in our lives.  The need to please others and perform is probably a feeling that many of us know all too well — but it doesn't have to define us.  The lyrics of the song put the issue right there on the table: "Who am I tryna be, who am I tryna please? That's the question." And the answer? Ofcourse, Jesus i...
