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

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"FUNK!" by Morgan Starner: When Worship Makes You Dance

Morgan Starner's debut single "FUNK!" isn't your typical worship track… and that's exactly the intent! The song comes out of Morgan's journey through anxiety, insecurity, and depression during adolescence. She shares the lessons learned during this journey in a joyful, 70s-inspired song, reminding us that you don't need to have it all together to praise God. In fact, your "funk"—that heavy, stuck feeling—can be the place where worship begins!  "Get me out of this funk… I'm thirsty for that living water only You provide," she sings, pointing to God for relief and renewal. We don't need to pretend that we've got everything under control, because God already knows what's going on. The song is an invitation to surrender our control and trust in a God who's "always right on time." And what if your next step of faith isn't a quiet prayer… but a dance?  The message is clear… joy doesn't depend on our cir...

'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...
