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

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...

"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...
