Shawn Thomas - Takes Hold (CCM)

Shawn Thomas has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Takes Hold.

"Takes Hold" is a funky, upbeat Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song written and performed by Christian recording artist and worship leader, Shawn Thomas (https://www.shawnthomasonline.com).

The lyrics for "Takes Hold" are inspired by Romans 8:24-27 with specific emphasis on verse 26 which says "...the Spirit helps us in our weakness." This verse translated from Greek more accurately means the Spirit "takes hold" of us and is "together with us" in our time of infirmity and weakness.

Shawn Thomas - Takes Hold

The song uses the theme of the Holy Spirit taking hold, and incorporates it into the experience of uninhibited and free worship reflecting the excitement and energy that is present "when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth." (John 4:23).

Accompanying the digital release on August 20, 2021, is a high-energy music video available on YouTube (https://youtu.be/CSVDkRZ_Qzk). The first live performance of this song will debut during a Live on StageIt performance on Sunday, September 12th at 6pm eastern time (https://www.stageit.com/ShawnThomas).

Lyrics

Verse 1
On the edge keeping my face forward - God I’m tired but I’m gonna wait
Old doubt trying to keep me cornered - Another round another leap of faith

PreChorus
There’s hope though I may not see it - There’s truth if I just believe it
There’s joy if I choose to feel it - A breakthrough if I just receive it

Chorus
Look out cuz here I come – my feet are ready to run
No doubt where it comes from – When the Spirit takes hold, takes hold of me
Make room I’m coming through – Lord knows what I might do
I think you feel it too – When the Spirit takes hold, takes hold of me

Verse 2
Stepping out in all my weakness - Close my eyes trying to find my nerve
Letting go of giving up my secrets - Knowing grace is more than I deserve

Bridge
For in this hope I am saved – He searched my heart and knows
Together with us – with me and with you
What shall separate? I’m free in the truth!

Tag/Adlib
Hope is what I got cuz I am saved
Don’t know how to stop giving You praise
Spirit take hold, take hold and lead the way

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...

"You Came And Found Me" by Recovered Crown: A Journey from Pain to Purpose

"You Came And Found Me" by Recovered Crown is about the healing God brought after having been trapped in a cycle of deeply hurtful relationships for years and the strength she found to truly step into her calling. She experienced harmful relationships as a child and as an adult, and reached a point where she was completely exhausted. "I didn't know how much of myself I had lost trying to survive," she shares. "But even in the darkest moments, God never stopped pursuing me."   The song reflects the change God brought into her life: "In a desperate state, in a broken place // You came and found me." It's not only a song for anyone who has been in similar situations but also for anyone who feels abandoned or even voiceless. There is always hope, "You're all that I need and so much more." It's God who truly heals, and He is always within your reach, no matter how bad the situation looks: "Hallelujah, I am restored in...
