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

"The Perfect Man" by Kaylyn Sahs: Finding the Only One Who Never Fails

(by Jasper Tan) “The Perfect Man” is a very beautiful love song by Kaylyn Sahs. I’ve never heard such a beautiful love song written for Jesus that is very relatable, and that truly defines how it is to be loved. Jesus is the only perfect Man who can fulfill our hearts and complete us. His Love is the only kind of Love that we all should desire to have. A lot of the people out there who are still searching to find love and find the perfect partner that they could spend their life with should listen to this song. The song helps to define the type of person they should be looking for and not settle for anything less, because we truly deserve someone who could love them that is as pure as Jesus.  Kaylyn shares that this song is her personal testimony of finding a love that never fails or walks away. And like most people out there who are still in the process of finding love, Kaylyn has also been there, patiently waiting for the perfect partner to come into her life and complete her, on...

"Gentle" by Andrew Macdonald: Finding Grace in Life's Hardest Moments

(by Jasper Tan) Have you heard of any heartfelt song lately that elaborates on the pain, yet the yearning for healing feels so heart-wrenching? Andrew Macdonald's latest song, "Gentle," feels just like that. In what seems like a conversational piece with someone, the song actually is a prayer yearning for God's grace and healing. The lush sound of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the heartfelt delivery of the vocals, delivers a certain kind of sincerity wherein Andrew pours his heart out to Jesus. It is very seldom to hear songs wherein the singer cuts through our emotions just enough for us to feel an affinity to his pleas. And Andrew's outreach for help through prayer is something that really cuts through our own pains when we are in those moments of vulnerability while we deal with our own issues. Though the song starts off as a sad song and the lines that are delivered feel so gloomy and hopeless, the song makes a stark change for the better when it starts to...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...
