Out of the Dust - Rest
Out of the Dust has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Rest.

Husband-wife duo, Out of The Dust, release their new single “Rest”. Out of the Dust regularly plays Family Life marriage conferences and other marriage conferences across the US and this song was written to encourage married couples to persevere amidst the chaos the world brings.

Lyrics:

Head so heavy on the pillowcase
Eyes staring out the window pane
The harder that I try
The more I lose the fight

Think I'm fine then here it goes
What if's and scenarios
Betrayal by my mind
Feeling paralyzed

I'm hanging by a thread
Everything keeps running through my head
Can't stop the chaos around me
But I can surrender what's in me

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind
Oh, be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest

My rest

Try so hard just to make it work
Head down hands in the dirt
Carrying the weight
Hoping it's okay

Smile and try to cover my emotion
But I'm really drowning in an ocean
It won't go away
So I guess I'm not okay

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind
Be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest

My rest

Being scared isn't sinful
But God sometimes I'm forgetful
That You're right here in the middle
Father help me remember

Being scared isn't sinful
But God sometimes I'm forgetful
That You're right here in the middle
Father help me remember

That You want to carry this for me
This isn't the end of my story
Your love is forever restoring
Forever restoring

Yes You want to carry this for me
This isn't the end of my story
Your love is forever restoring
Forever restoring

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind

Be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest
My rest

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...
