New City Collective and Dave Aubrey - Rest in the Shadows (CCM Christmas)

New City Collective and Dave Aubrey - Rest in the Shadows
New City Collective and Dave Aubrey have released a Christian Christmas track called Rest in the Shadows.

We are sharing the title track to New City Collective's brand new advent album. 

Lyrics:

Eden's rest is lost and forgotten
Kings and kingdoms have come and gone
Shadows lengthened, hearts now hardened
Longing for the Morning Star

Every generation's been groaning
Darkness filling an earth left undone
How long 'til our God will save us
In the shadows, wait for the Sun

Heaven's army bursts on the night sky
Announcing peace, God's rest to bring
Shepherds, wisemen, all who come, find
In Bethlehem is born the King

Unto us God's Son is given
Here in us Christ Jesus now dwells
He the promised One will save us
In the shadows, Immanuel

See Him now, our Savior dying
Pierced for our sins by His own design
This darkest shadow no supplying
Life and light to all mankind

Risen now, the Light is shining
Filling earth with His love and truth
'til the day He comes back for us
And all creation will be made new

All our sin now long forgotten
God's great love forever we'll sing
Until then we'll live victorious
For in these shadows we rest in Him

You can rest in the shadows
There is hope in the shadows
There's good news in the shadows
Find His rest in the shadows

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

Brandon Lake - Praise You Anywhere (CCM)

'Praise You Anywhere' by Brandon Lake is a powerful anthem that encourages us to turn to praise in every season of life. No matter the circumstances we face, choosing to praise God will shift our perspective and ignite faith within us. The lyrics of the song remind us that in the midst of darkness, fire, and challenges, we can dance, sing, and praise God. We are called to worship even when it doesn't make sense and to boldly face the giants that stand before us. The song emphasizes the power of praising God in the highest, acknowledging His worthiness of all our praise. Brandon Lake's heartfelt message resonates with the reality that there are times when we find ourselves in prisons and battles. However, even in those moments, we can cry out to heaven, stand firm, and worship with our hands held high. The song encourages us to trust that God will bring us through, and in response, we will praise Him anywhere. The bridge of the song beautifully highlights God's faith...

'Whatever It Takes – Acoustic' by Stephen Stanley: Embracing Divine Grace Amid Trial

Stephen Stanley vividly portrays the profound journey of faith in his moving acoustic rendition of the song 'Whatever It Takes'. His sincerity echoes the difficulties of completely surrendering one's heart to God despite being burdened by past mistakes and self-doubt. However, as we all know, the journey to the divine, while difficult, ultimately changes everything. 'Whatever it Takes,' a testament to Stanley's commitment, is a vocal affirmation to live continuously for God. The lyrics touch listeners' hearts as he admits, 'I've been reckless with my heart / Now I'm falling apart'; a message that many can relate to. This bold declaration is followed by a powerful surrender: 'I don't wanna be the same / I need You to be the change / I surrender all I am.' Stanley's song reaches out to everyone who has struggled with their shortcomings and leads them to the comforting presence of God. Self-doubt and the fear of falling may plagu...
