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....

'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...

"Come Let Us Go" by NARROWAY: Journey to the Mountain of Light

It's difficult to imagine that there will be a day when all nations are tired of the chaos and finally ask, "Where do we go from here?" The answer to that question is the theme of NARROWAY's "Come, Let Us Go." The lyrics are inspired by Isaiah 2 and Micah 4, and look forward to "… the days that are coming, the mountain will rise // Lifted above all the nations and skies // People will gather from near and far // Saying, "Let's go to where His teachings are." As we observe the chaos in the world, the wars, and the rumor of wars, it's hard to imagine that "Swords turned to plows, war fades away // Shalom will reign in Yah's good way." Believe it or not, there will be a day with "No more fear, no more fight // Just His Torah shining bright." But the key message of this song isn't a distant promise! The lyrics pull us to the here and now… our present reality. The reality is that God's Kingdom is stepping on...
