Betty Lyles - Prayer Time (CCM)

Betty Lyles - Prayer Time
Betty Lyles has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Prayer Time.

Betty shares: "Prayer Time was written back in 2011 for my youth choir at Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas to sing at devotion for prayer. We needed a song that would be short and sweet for them to learn and prepare the congregation for prayer. The Lord placed it on my heart to write this song. We sang the song a few times during the year, but after that, we returned to our old repertoire of songs written by other composers. A few months ago I thought about Prayer Time and decided to go on Fiverr to hire a vocalist, rapper, synth bass, and lead guitarist to accompany me (I’m playing the keyboard) on the song. I was quite pleased with the outcome and decided to release the song, hoping it will inspire someone who’s feeling hopeless to go to God in prayer."

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
Prayer time, prayer time, prayer time
Prayer time, prayer time, it's prayer time
He will, he will answer
He will answer, it's prayer time

[Verse]
Hey! Yeah, ah, come on
In dark times we need a prayer, just wanna put my hands high and keep 'em there
No matter what you're going through, no need to fear
Just gotta keep faith, remember He is here
When the money's low, or when you're feeling lost
He died for you, He paid the ultimate cost (prayer time)
Things might seem tragic, but he can make it happen (yeah)
Bring you out of the storm for life everlasting
We're all looking for love and for purpose (prayer time)
And when I look at the world, my heart's hurting (oh-h-h)
'Cuz people suffering daily, can't handle (oh, it's prayer)
Trying to survive and just needed an answer
I pray for peace and I know it will get better
With help from the Messiah, the Alpha, Omega (better)
He gave me the good news, I just wanna share mine (he)
If you're looking for him, all you need is some prayer time (prayer time)
Oe, ah, o, ah

[Chorus]
Prayer time, prayer time, prayer time
Prayer time, prayer time, it's prayer time
He will, he will answer
He will answer, it's prayer time

'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...

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common: Letting Go of People-Pleasing for Good

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common is an interesting song that was born out of this duo's struggles with wanting to please people and the pressure they felt to perform. The song reminds us to stop chasing others for their approval and start chasing Jesus instead. "I'm so done tryna be someone else just to keep people's attention," they sing. It can be very exhausting to constantly pretend and perform. The song reminds us to keep our hearts and lives centered on Jesus—the only one who truly is worthy of being our role model. Not for applause. Not for attention. But because His way is the only one that brings real peace and fulfillment in our lives.  The need to please others and perform is probably a feeling that many of us know all too well — but it doesn't have to define us.  The lyrics of the song put the issue right there on the table: "Who am I tryna be, who am I tryna please? That's the question." And the answer? Ofcourse, Jesus i...

"the cost (given for us)" by HOMECOMING: Feeling the Weight of Grace

HOMECOMING's "the cost (given for us)" looks at the weight of what Jesus gave up to save humanity. The backstory that HOMECOMING wrote this song after talking about how easy it is to say "Jesus died for me" without really thinking about what that means. Like, what did it actually cost Him? Their approach wasn't to create another "thank You" song, but a song that invites us to slow down and truly feel the sacrifice He made. His sacrifice wasn't just a painful moment on a cross. It was everything. He gave up heaven. He was rejected, betrayed, beaten… and He still chose the cross for us. That kind of love doesn't make sense. But it's real. The lyrics give words to the awe we feel: "You took my place // How can it be // By your grace I'm saved." And lines like "Your blood washed me clean" and "By your stripes I'm healed" remind us of the freedom and healing that He paid for. Then comes the part that ...
