Red Letter Society - CANYON (CCM)

Red Letter Society - CANYON
Red Letter Society has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called CANYON.

The third installment to Red Letter Society's upcoming album “Pioneer” explores the depths of God’s love for us. Not only does God love us ‘while we were still sinners,’ but He knows us by name!

“Canyon” begins with a small intimate arrangement reminding us of the closeness of God and bringing the song back to its origin, a simple song written on a mountain by a campfire. Later, the song explodes into a triumphant anthem of worship responding to God’s love.

Lyrics:

Verse
I dare not even draw near 
For this is holy ground 
This mountain sparks in me fear 
But I hear a precious  sound 


Prechorus
You call my soul to ascend 
The hill of the heavens 
You called my wretched heart a friend. 
Welcomed me to your presence

Verse 
Your goodness welcomes me here  
And on this holy ground 
Valleys of shame disappear 
As You speak a precious sound 


Chorus
How dark is my valley 
At the foot of your mountain
Your glory and fire ablaze
And I am amazed 
I am amazed

How deep are the canyons 
Filled with your goodness 
That you would even know me by name 
Oh I am amazed
I am amazed 

Bridge 
Your goodness calls me 
My heart will listen 
As deep calls to deep 
It’s you alone I’ll seek

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"You Are Holy" by Spirit Worship: Honest Worship When Hope Runs Thin

Honest worship starts exactly where your pain is. Years of loss pushed the songwriter behind “You Are Holy” into a wilderness. Loved ones died, jobs and homes disappeared, health and finances faltered, and a church plant that failed. Most worship songs felt dishonest to him during that season, so the Psalms became his lifeline. “You Are Holy” sits down beside you and tells the truth. “It’s hard to be patient with nothing but time.” “It’s hard to be hopeful when everything dies.” Have you ever whispered something like that? That’s okay, it’s what we do next that makes a difference! “Yet though I am suffering, I’ll trust in Your name.” David faced that same kind of challenge in Psalm 13. He opens with “How long, O LORD?” and lands here: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” His circumstances barely moved between the first verse and verse five, but his gaze did. You can do the same today. Be honest with God. Tell Him exactly how heavy e...
