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

"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....

Brandon Lake - Praise You Anywhere (CCM)

'Praise You Anywhere' by Brandon Lake is a powerful anthem that encourages us to turn to praise in every season of life. No matter the circumstances we face, choosing to praise God will shift our perspective and ignite faith within us. The lyrics of the song remind us that in the midst of darkness, fire, and challenges, we can dance, sing, and praise God. We are called to worship even when it doesn't make sense and to boldly face the giants that stand before us. The song emphasizes the power of praising God in the highest, acknowledging His worthiness of all our praise. Brandon Lake's heartfelt message resonates with the reality that there are times when we find ourselves in prisons and battles. However, even in those moments, we can cry out to heaven, stand firm, and worship with our hands held high. The song encourages us to trust that God will bring us through, and in response, we will praise Him anywhere. The bridge of the song beautifully highlights God's faith...

'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...
