TheReal D.Tel - Surrender (CHH)

TheReal D.Tel - Surrender
TheReal D.Tel has released a Christian Hip Hop (CHH) an album called Kingdom Music. The highlighted song from this album is called 'Surrender'. 

Story behind the album 'Kingdom Music':

TRD shares: "When I was 12, I started writing music about things that I thought were cool and heard in songs at the time like: women, drugs, sex, violence, partying non-stop and being a good person gets you nowhere. That kind of music influenced my future decisions on what kind of songs I would start recording, which continued until I realized it.  I also thought it was cool to do the things I said in my music like:
Violence - the more violent the better (in songs)
Womanizing - the more woman you have sex with the better
Drugs and Alcohol - The higher and more drunk you are the better
Partying - Neglect all responsibilities if partying comes first

As I started making better decisions in life through God, my music was still the same and then I had a revelation.  I heard a random Christian song and it was so powerful and positive and full of joy and truth, I cried because it touched me.  I knew, even though I was saved and prayed all the time, something didn't feel right...That's when I started to question myself about the musical direction I was going in:

Would your music inspire or motivate the world?
Does your music help people who listen to it?
Does it make you feel good when you listen to your music?
If someone close died would your music help you cope?
Does your music give hope?

Unfortunately, all the answers to those questions were no...but I kept praying. One day I woke up and knew it was time for a change because beforehand, the decision to jump from all secular music to all Christian music was difficult until now because it was clear...it was peaceful.  I rewrote every song that was about to release and from that moment on, instead of making the music I thought I wanted to make, I vowed to only make Kingdom Music."

I am releasing 'Kingdom Music' to show that no matter what you're going through or what you have been through, it is never too late to turn your life around with Christ and get on what you've been called to do.

The message that I hope listeners take away is to be bold with your believing and endeavors because anything is possible with God."

The highlighted song is called 'Surrender'. 'Surrender' is intended as a reminder that God knows best for you, trust in Him to guide you through.


Lyrics:

let's go

every day every night (every day every night)
i surrender to Christ (I surrender to Christ)

even in the dark He'll cause you to shine (shine)
victory is mine by renewing of the mind
no matter what i face surrender it to You (You)
because of Your grace receive all truth (truth)
nothing else matters if it ain't about You (uh-huh)
making devils scatter not knowing what to do (do) ugh (ugh)
Your here so i gotta push through (push through)
Your face is what i pursue (pursue) look (yeah)
your joy my strength don't faint

i'm already healed
covered with your blood protects like a shield (protects)
God is a big deal (big deal)
never seen begging for a meal (never) look
i had to refocus (uh-huh)
broke free from the devils hypnosis (free)
i'm gonna feed life to my inner man (life)
at rest when i move into the promise land (rest)
gonna stand on a rock not quicksand (rock)
with God i will always have the upperhand

every day every night (every day every night)
everything in my life i surrender

"When I Saw The Light" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Folk, Grace, and the Moment Everything Changes

“When I Saw The Light” captures something painfully familiar — the trap that routine can bring. Tyler Philip Ratcliffe wrote this folk anthem as a follow-up to “This Little Light of Mine,” drawing on his bluegrass roots and the spirit of Bill Monroe’s classic to tell a story many will recognize in themselves. The verses don’t sugarcoat it. “Same faces, same mistakes, same places // Promise that I change it all tomorrow”  — the trap we need to be aware of… The routine masquerading as life. But Ratcliffe doesn’t leave the listener there. The chorus lifts everything: “I traded fake for something honest // Finally doing something right.” That’s the turning point! What makes this song land is its honesty about the moment before a breakthrough. When numbness sets in, when you’ve exhausted every other option — that’s when the light (His light) breaks through. Ratcliffe captures the surprise of grace: “I wasn’t looking for religion // Wasn’t searching for the truth.” Nobody ever is. And ye...

"Psalm 10 (Do You See)" by Red Letter Society: Honest Faith, Bold Trust, and the Hope of God's Reign

Injustice is hard to sit with. When evil goes unchecked, and the vulnerable are overlooked, even the most faithful hearts may be wrestling with silence from heaven. Red Letter Society's "Psalm 10 (Do You See)" is about that struggle. This song is part of the band's ongoing psalm project and gives the church honest language for prayer. Instead of wrapping pain in comfortable platitudes, it voices the raw cry found in Psalm 10: "Why, O Lord, do You stand so far? Why hide Yourself so I can't see?" That's not a crisis of someone's faith; it's faith being real, and there is a big difference between the two. Featuring Jordan West, the lyrics move through the frustration and toward a confession. In the chorus, you'll hear the weight shifting: "To You the helpless commits himself, in You the orphan finds their help." This is trust that is forged under pressure. In the bridge of the song, you'll hear the resolution, a resolution th...

"Hard Times" by Matt Rees: Finding Faithful Ground When Life Comes Apart

Hard times have a way of stripping everything back. Matt Rees knows this well — and "Hard Times" was came out of one of those seasons. The Michigan-based singer-songwriter has spent years writing music that builds up the church and glorifies God, and this song carries that same honest, unpolished faith. What makes it remarkable is the posture Rees takes. Rather than crying out from the pain, he's thanking God for it. "I thank You for the hard times // when You test what's in the depths of my heart." That's not wishful thinking… That's hard-won conviction coming from the slow & dark times, and the confusing times when everything comes apart at the seams. Rees names them all, and then he names what happens next: God shows up! The chorus wraps it together…. "This life ain't always easy // but You're always faithful and true." Simple, true, and more important…. it's enough! Because when you've lived through the kind of sea...
