Switchfoot - beloved (CCM)

Switchfoot - beloved
Switchfoot has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'beloved'.

We also have the lyrics for this song:

Lyrics

Maybe all the world is insecure
Maybe all of us are looking for a cure
Maybe something that can finally reassure, maybe
We’re chasing after money like a dog
But the money’s never gonna be enough
No, it’s never gonna take the place of love, maybe
I’m still looking for the truth
But I can’t seem to find it in the news
Maybe I’ll start singing like the blues, maybe
The days start feeling like the nights
Like it’s just another way to lose a fight
Like I’m the only one who’s looking for the light, maybe

If only I could open up my eyes
Would the truth be what would set me free?
If only I could open up my eyes
Would I see that maybe I need you
Like you need me?

And the new year dawns
And the old year’s drifting on and on
Like my doubt’s in orbit ’round the sun

Everyday begins to feel the same
Like I’m waiting on [?] to go and change
But there’s no one but myself to blame lately
I’m staring [?] on the screen
Turning everything that’s real into a meme
But the feeds that I read don’t feed me what I need

Oh, if only I could open up my eyes
Would the truth be what would set me free?
If only I could open up my eyes
Would I see that maybe I need you
Like you need me?

And the new year dawns
And the old year’s drifting on and on
Like my doubt’s in orbit ’round the sun
And I still
To be somewhere that still needs broken, longing songs
Like my doubt’s in orbit ’round the sun
Around the sun
Around the sun
Around the sun
Ooh, ooh

The questions that we’re too afraid to ask
‘Cause the present is the future of the past
‘Cause the river is the same, but moving fast lately
And maybe every other is a weed
Maybe differences are easier to see
Than a family we are that’s underneath, maybe

Like you need me
And the new year dawns
And the old year’s drifting on and on
Like my doubt’s in orbit ’round the sun
And I’m looking in your eyes
I see reflections of the sea reflecting the sky (I see myself looking at you, looking at me looking up)
The sky (I see myself looking at you looking at me)
I start to recognize that I need you
I start to recognize that I need you
Like you need me

Like I need you
Like you need me

'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...

"Change Coming On" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: Feeling the Shift Towards Hope

Ever feel like life's a bit… frosty? Or that you're longing for something more profound and meaningful in life? Robert Peterson and The Crusade connect with that feeling. In their second release, "Change Coming On," they explore the search for meaning and change. Robert Peterson, who has been playing music since his early teens, has an interesting approach to writing lyrics. He is especially careful that his lyrics do not immediately lead to people labeling the song as "Christian," and tries to avoid classifications like "Christian Rock" so that he can reach a larger audience with his message. People who otherwise would be turned off by overt religious references. "Change Coming On" accomplishes this with subtlety and depth. The song opens with the image of being "all alone on a crowded city street," creating a feeling of isolation and longing. As the song continues, a powerful awareness is building up, "I can feel a chang...

"Always More" by Jeffrey Dickson: Trusting in God’s Limitless Provision

Jeff Dickson's song "Always More" was triggered by challenges that he hadn't seen coming. Jeffrey turned to writing songs as a way to deal with what happened and share his faith journey after being laid off from a ministry role he had held for 13 years. Hard decisions like this one were taken as a result of financial struggles at his church. The result is a song filled with hope and encouragement to trust in God's boundless provision. Lines like "When the famine comes, I'll always have a portion" emphasize that even in loss there's still abundance waiting for us to discover.  The chorus points us to God: "All these hills are yours but my eyes look above them / When my cup is dry, ask, who fills the ocean?" When we're facing challenges of our own, it can be easy to forget to lift our gaze beyond our struggles and look at the eternal Source of all things. Jeffrey emphasizes the freedom we have… the freedom to let go, to love freely,...
