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

"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....

"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...

'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...
