TobyMac - Promised Land (CCM)

TobyMac - Promised Land
TobyMac has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Promised Land.

With "Promised Land," he follows up his No. 1 hit "Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)." The song is available across all digital service providers and is being featured on Christian radio around the world.

"I think if we're honest, each of us have wondered, where is the promised land?," he remarks. "...Where's the blessing for me and my family that I thought would come my way on this earth when I chose to follow the King of Kings?"
 
TobyMac shared the video on Facebook in memory of his grandpa, a miner in West Virginia, where TobyMac's dad grew up in a mining camp. "It was a hard life," he says. "A life where I imagine they must have really wondered where in the world is my promised land?"
 
He says: "The lyics land where I want my life to land: that the promised land is no land at all, but a relationship with the King that loves us deeply. It turns from where's my promised land, to you're my promised land. Maybe the promised land we're looking for is no place at all, but a person named Jesus." 

Lyrics "Promised Land"

Head down as I punch this clock
The hours roll they never stop
And I can't ever seem to get ahead

Always tryin' to do what's right
The straight and narrows getting tight
Don't know how much longer I can stand

And I'm wonderin' yeah I'm wonderin'
Where's my promised land

Out here on this dessert road
It's hot as fire but I've grown cold
Circlin' like a plane that never lands

And even though the questions change
The answers always stay the same
Maybe someday I will understand

So I'm wonderin', got me wonderin'
Where's my promised land

Yeah I'm wonderin' still I'm wonderin'
Where's my promised land

Well I've run this earth for many years
And there's one thing I know
There's nowhere on this side of heaven
Where streets are made of gold
I've long laid down my grand illusions
Lookin' toward the day that I'll be home

I won't give up on this race
Broken but I still have faith
That this old life is all part of a plan
And I can feel it in my soul
One day I'll stand before the throne
With nothing left but hope in these 2 hands

Through all these seasons, I'm still believin'
You're my promised land
In all my grievin' I'm still believin'
You're my promise land

You're my promise land
You're my promise land
You're my promise land

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

'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...
