​Rorie - ​Resonate (CCM)

​Rorie - ​Resonate

​Rorie has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called ​Resonate.

​Rorie wrote "Resonate" alone in her living room during the turbulence of the year 2020, which ended with her and her husband going through a heartbreaking miscarriage. “Resonate” is a worship song filled with the hope of the Gospel, conveying the way that the good news resonates both through sound waves and inside hearts. Rorie writes: "In a year filled with so much heartache, both globally and personally, I felt strongly compelled to sing about the reason behind the hope that I have. It’s not because of anything I’ve done or will do, or because of what I can see here in the temporary, but because of who Jesus is and all that He has done. It changes everything!""

 Resonate” was produced by Nashville-based 2x Grammy-nominated and multiple Dove award-winning producer Jordan Sapp (Jeremy Camp, Tauren Wells, Riley Clemmons).

The single will be followed by an EP, which is set to release on September 10, 2021.


Lyrics

On my own I had no faith, no place to rest
Just a complicated past, and a goal to do my best
Even when I tried the world kept crashing down
Til You led me from sinking sand to solid ground
Let hope rise in this place
And Hallelujahs resonate
Death has no power in Your name
Jesus, the one who saves
You are the one who saves
(Ohh)

We could not repair the damage that was made
Your holiness so powerful, our brokenness so great
Even then redemption entered on the scene
A story being written to set captives free
Let hope rise in this place
And Hallelujahs resonate
Death has no power in Your name
Jesus, the one who saves
You are the one who saves

Hallelujah, let it resonate
Hallelujah, let it resonate
Hallelujah, let it resonate
Hallelujah, let it resonate

What shame declared as hopeless
Your promise overcame
You bore it on the cross, standing in my place
And in the quiet hour the grave could not contain
Your resurrection power
All glory to Your name
Hallelujah, let it resonate
Let hope rise in this place
And Hallelujahs resonate
Death has no power in Your name
Jesus, the one who saves

Let hope rise in this place
And Hallelujahs resonate
Death has no power in Your name
Jesus, the one who saves
You are the one who saves
(Ohh)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
