Rico Dawson - Suppose To Be (Gospel)

Rico Dawson's Gospel track called "Suppose To Be" is still as relevant today, as it was when it was released as a single in July 2020. The song is now part of the album "Suppose To Be" which was released on May 2nd, 2021. "Suppose To Be" is a Gospel album consisting of eight God-inspired songs Rico hopes will inspire all listeners.

The song's theme is love and unity. The song was inspired by the present state of the United States in regards to racial injustice and police brutality.

Last Monday we came across Rico's story and decided to share his story and song with you. Rico Dawson - Suppose To Be

In the summer of 2004, Rico gave his life to Christ, thus putting him on a different path, musically. He no longer produced music for man’s glory, but for God’s glory. He began to put together gospel music selections and with God’s help, he produced numerous contemporary gospel music selections. In 2006, Rico wrote and produced his debut contemporary gospel CD, “It’s Time.” Due to a lack of financial resources, Rico was unable to get the project commercially ready. Once again Rico took time away from music to establish a stronger relationship with Christ. During that time of the wilderness, Rico continued to write songs, but he didn’t record anything again until 2008. Rico pursued the possibility of becoming an established songwriter. Although he received some interest, the interest didn’t materialize into any legitimate offers. Once again Rico has written, produced, and recorded several God-inspired songs. Rico’s desire is that through his music that the body of Christ is edified, God is glorified, and the un-believer is inspired to turn to the Lord.


SUPPOSE TO BE - Lyrics:

Lend a hand, let’s help each other
Take a moment to help your brother
That’s how God wants it to be
But we’re so blind that we can’t see

Chorus: Ooh, Ooh, Oh, Oh, can’t you see I’m a friend, I’m not an enemy, can’t you see that’s how it is supposed to be

Hatred spreading all around, splitting families, dividing towns.
Instead, let the love flow forever
We can do things better, if we’re together

Repeat Chorus

Join hands let’s come together
As we help our fellow man
These times we need to help each other
Love is the greatest gifts, it’s like no other

Repeat Chorus

"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...

"How Many Times" by Ben Jero: Falling and Being Caught

Do you feel like you’ve fallen too many times to still be worthy of God’s love? If that is the case, then Ben Jero’s song “How Many Times” carries an important message for you! The song opens with three big questions: “How many times can I fall and you catch me again? // How many sins are too great to not love me again? // How many ways can I go away from your presence?” ** Spoiler alert !! ** God’s love for us is never dependent on what we do! Seriously! It doesn’t matter how far we wander from His presence or how many mistakes we make, God remains faithful. His door is always open! All we need to do is call out to Him and come back home! Ben recalls the story of the prodigal son in his song, as a reminder that “There’s no sin that’s too great // No work that’s undone // Like the prodigal son // You never left me alone.” God doesn’t place any barrier between us and His love because of what we do or have done! God isn’t holding the door shut! Instead of turning away from us when we fa...
