Kali Joy - Sand (CCM)

Kali Joy has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Sand.

Kali shares: "I wrote Sand last summer after I was in a worship service where they read several verses from Psalm 139. The verses immediately captured my imagination in a way that they never had before. The passage says that God's thoughts, if we were to count them, outnumber the grains of sand. That is insane to me! That God thinks of you and of me more than we can even comprehend. He knew us before we were even born, because he created us. And he also believes in us enough that he's willing to patiently walk with us as we become all that he created us to be.

I was raised in the church, but I think as is the case with many people who are raised in the church it is much easier to know about God instead of actually knowing him personally. I have been on a journey of allowing God's presence and love to flood into my life. His amazing love is becoming more and more real to me the more that I get to know him, and it's truly delivering me from every fear and anxiety, from condemnation and guilt, and from the grips of shame and emptiness. My prayer is that God would breathe his presence into lives through this song to many many more who long to not just know about God, but really know him. Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly!"

Lyrics

Were I to count your thoughts for me
They’d outnumber every grain of sand
Were I to count your thoughts for me
They’d outnumber every grain of sand in the sea 

Your love is like an ocean 
Sweeping my fears away
And your love is how I know I’ll make it to the other side of
This raging storm into wide open places of your love

From dust you brought me into life
Made me in your very likeness
You raised my soul up from the grave
Savior healer everything I want and need

Oh your love is like a river 
washing these sins away
And your love is how I know I’m forgiven
Of my past completely new and unashamed because of love

May I not just know about you
But really know you
May I not just know about you
I was made to know you

May I not just know about you
But really know you
Yeah may I not just know about you
I was made to know you

May I not just know about you
But really know you
Yeah may I not just know about you

I was made to know you

Cuz your love is like a flood that’s filling 
this desert soul 
And your love is living water that will 
satisfy this emptiness 
Your love will last for all of time

Were I to count your thoughts for me

They’d outnumber every grain of sand

"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...

"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...

"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...
