Moving Mountain Worship - Prayer of David (Psalm 71) (CCM)

Moving Mountain Worship - Prayer of David (Psalm 71)
Moving Mountain Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Prayer of David (Psalm 71).

Dale Rugge shares: "The Holy Spirit pointed the lyrical direction of this song to Psalm 71, where King David pours out his heart to God in earnest prayer. He refers to God again and again as the source of his strength as he pleads for deliverance from, and God's justice upon, his enemies. This song has a distinctly Messianic Jewish vibe, and puts the themes of King David's prayer from Psalm 71 in modern verse and rhyme. Instruments with sounds similar to the Lute, the Harp and the Timbrel are used in keeping with what might have been heard in King David's court as accompaniment for the Psalm."

Lyrics:

In You oh Lord, do I take refuge. Deliver me, may I be rescued.
Let no one else shame me, Hear Lord won’t You save me. You are my rock, to You I come.
My stronghold and my dwelling; my fortress so compelling.
Rescue me Lord from the wicked ones.                      

You are my hope. You are my confidence. And from my youth, You taught deliverance.
My praise continually of thee. My words speak of Your glory. Forsake me not in advancing years. 
And when my strength has left me, Lord You still protect me.
Make haste to help me and hear my prayers.

I praise You God for Your faithfulness. To You I sing, of Your deliverance.
For You alone are righteous. You restore and revive us. Lord won’t You do this once again.
And to this generation, I’ll declare Your salvation.
Your might and Your power yet to come.      

To future generations, I declare Your salvation.
Your might and Your power, yet to come.

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...

"Set Free" by Kristin Ambuhl: Naming Your Real Enemy

What battle are you really fighting today?   Some enemies wear a smile. Kristin Ambuhl calls this out in her song “Set Free”. The song calls these enemies a “favorite shadow” who’s “throwin’ words like daggers” while “hiding behind your laughter.” This is much more than a person who is being difficult. Kristin wrote this song about the daily spiritual battles we face as believers — battles found in arrogant people, dark influences, and forces that work to pull us away from who God made us to be. Whether it’s small fights or big ones, she’s naming them all.  The song doesn’t stay stuck in the shadows. Kristin declares, “I’ve been set apart, I’ve been set free, from my enemies, against dark powers, rulers, and authorities.” Part of that line echoes Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” W...

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...
