the Ally J Band - Trust In You (CCM)

the Ally J Band - Trust In You
The Ally J Band has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Trust In You.

Allison Reitenbach writes: "Despite the things I've dealt with throughout my own life, I originally wrote this song 8-9 years ago to reflect the stories of some people I knew who were dealing with big health uncertainties. The original version was a bit longer. I never had done a studio recording of it until this past year.

Two of my cousins and I performed it at the church I was currently attending at the time in 2014. A lady named Liisa Livengood came up to me and expressed how much she enjoyed and appreciated the song and its message. She had been through something most people have to deal with but her faith and trust in Jesus remained firm. 
Her husband had passed away a few years before unexpectedly after the doctors found an issue with his heart. They had 6 kids with one on the way at the time of his passing. She spent around 6 years with just her and her 7 children till God brought along her second husband Andrew. They had 3 more children.

In September of 2020, this song came back to my mind, and wasn't really sure why, but knew there had to be a reason. So I began reworking it to be a little more recording-friendly. I set it aside a few days and planned to get back to it later. Shortly after, something very unexpected happened. I got a text from my friend/keyboard player Jennie, that Liisa Livengood had passed away very unexpectedly without any warning that evening. Jennie is Liisa's aunt, but they were right around the same age. That's a story for another time.

After hearing of her passing, I knew God wanted me to do something with this song. So I got one of my cousins who had played the song originally, Ashley, and a friend from church, Travis. I then recruited some friends who are now band members, Dave, Chaese, and Jennie, to play and record this song. We then decided to record some other original music in which the Ally J Band was then formed! My vision was to create a music video for this song, which we did over the summer, and dedicate it in memory of Liisa Livengood. We then created a story behind the song video which we released right around the one-year anniversary of Liisa's passing."

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Trials come when we least expect
We start to lose hope and wonder
Will everything be ok
With strength from above
God wants you to say

Chorus
Oh Lord have Your way
I belong to You
Take my life and let it be
A testimony oh Lord for thee
I give my all to You
No matter what happens
Or comes my way
I put my trust in You God
I put my trust in You

Verse 2
He went to the cross
Died and rose again
So you that you and I
Wouldn't have to die
That eternal death in sin
We can have eternal hope
And peace within
All He asks is that we humbly pray

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus then tag

"Whoop The Devil" by Destin Dumais: Standing in Christ's Authority

Who gave you the authority to stand firm? Destin Dumais opens his debut single with an amazing sound that excites, gets you up on your feet, and gets you ready to conquer. “Whoop The Devil” is a hard-hitting country-rock song with one clear message: As believers, we hold real authority in Christ! The song starts with a cowboy scene. “Gonna saddle up and ride, ain’t no place you can hide.” Then comes the line that makes an important difference: “Been deputized, authorized.” Nobody appoints himself to this work. The badge was handed over at Calvary. Jesus said it plainly in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Who gives the authority? Jesus does! This kind of confidence never relies on your strength, your mood, or your track record. This confidence rests on His name, and His name only! Does that now mean that our fears will disappear for good? Not always. Destin admits that...

"Send Me an Angel" by Josh Orange: Grace for the Struggle at 5 AM

What if help is one honest word away? Josh Orange, a folk-rock group from Sydney, Australia, wrote “Send Me an Angel” in about thirty minutes. Structure, lyric, the whole thing arrived at once and became the spark for the band’s sixth studio album. Some prayers work that way. They don’t wait for polish. The song opens at 5 am. A man puts his feet on the floor and asks Jesus, “for the strength to begin.” He doesn’t ask for much. He works for his living, and he isn’t proud of his sins. Then comes the plea: “Come help me Jesus. Send me an angel.” Sound familiar? You’ve tried hard, opened the door, and done it again. Gordon Burke, the lead singer of Josh Orange, sings about running all the way to Nova Scotia, and the further he went, the darker he got. Distance never fixed it. Ask yourself, where have you been running? Listen closely and notice what he never does. He never cleans himself up first. He prays with “blood on my boots,” and he prays honestly. Scripture says that’s the right w...

"Faith Like Daniel" by Marlee Smith: Praising God When the World Says No

Who do you trust when everyone disagrees? What do you do when the world says that your God doesn’t matter? Marlee Smith’s energetic pop-rock song, “Faith Like Daniel,” comes with an all-teenage female band behind her, and her response to what the world says is anything but timid. When the world feels overturned, she’ll keep “praising my Father,” even when the world says she shouldn’t. Remember what we read in the Bible about Daniel? Daniel knew that pressure. A royal decree banned prayer to anyone but the king for a period of thirty days. Daniel heard the news, went home, opened his windows, and prayed as he always had. No speeches. No protest. Just steady faith, three times a day. Then came the lions, and what happened that night in the den became a testimony. Scripture says, “No kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Daniel 6:23). Daniel never trusted that his circumstances would be easy. He trusted the One who stood over them. Marlee’s message carries t...
