Jonathan Jackson - God Had Another Plan (CCM)

Jonathan Jackson - God Had Another Plan
Jonathan Jackson has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called God Had Another Plan.

The lyrics to this song brought to mind a verse in Matthew 28, verse 20, "I Will Be With You Always."
These were His last words of encouragement to those whose world had been turned upside down and inside out! A group of people who believed Jesus to be the Messiah that would save the world, only to see Him arrested and crucified later. Their world felt like an emotional roller coaster. 

Despite today's challenges, this promise still remains true and powerful. A promise that also applies to you personally. Even if you feel like your life is a rollercoaster at times, there is comfort in knowing that God has another plan for you. 

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
I felt like I needed pain to heal the hurt
All the scars marked the signs of my worth                                                               
Would anyone miss me if I was gone          
Would anybody care if I wasn’t there at all

CHORUS
But God had another plan
That death was not my end
He spoke life in me again
My story wasn’t over
Cause he keeps moving closer
Till my pain is no longer my shame
God had another plan
 
VERSE 2
Deeper than I thought, greater than I knew,
Though my grief was strong, it melted in His truth
That every cut erased within His wounds
He took my scars to the cross and left them in the tomb
 
BRIDGE
I was lost
Within myself
But I wasn’t hidden
He was there with me
I was all alone
With my darkest thoughts my faith was cold
But it didn’t scare Him
Cause He was there with me
He stayed right with me

"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...
