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

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
