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)

"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....

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...

'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...
