Charity Rouse - For a Thousand (CCM)

Charity Rouse - For a Thousand
Charity Rouse has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called For a Thousand.

Charity shares: "I was a worship leader for about 14 years and one of my favorite hymns has always been O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing. I love the lyrics and the meaning behind the song. One day after leading the hymn in church I went home and couldn't stop singing it. I wanted to keep going and keep singing so I sat down and figured out a new chorus. I also love the story behind why Charles Wesley wrote it. It is so deep and rich and beautiful!!"

Lyrics:

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of His grace!

Jesus! The name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
Tis music in the sinner's ears
Tis life and health and peace

So proclaim His great name
In every place
Shout for Joy so that all
May hear of His grace
O proclaim

He breaks the power of canceled sin
He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean
Oh it worked for me

Oh all you broken, lost and bruised
Come hear this good news
You can be whole and filled with joy
Oh how can you refuse?

Come proclaim His great name
In every place
Shout for Joy so that all
May hear of His grace
O proclaim

My gracious master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of your name

Come proclaim His great name
In every place
Shout for Joy so that all
May hear of Your grace

O proclaim Your great name
In every place
Shout for Joy so that all
May hear of Your grace
O proclaim

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics by Kapa Freeman  Why are John Mayer's song lyrics so easy to remember? It comes down to human psychology. I am notoriously bad at remembering song lyrics, except for John Mayer's Songs. Other artists may write a song I remember here or there, but John Mayer does it consistently. Why? I discovered the reason when I was working full-time as a teacher. Teachers can always tell when they're losing students. When those eyes start to glaze over, when that one eyebrow raises in confusion and someone yells out... "I don't get it!"  I got those a lot when I first started teaching. Talking to other teachers, I soon discovered why. I was giving too much information at once. I would vomit these elaborate explanations, thinking that more information would help clear things up... But they just got confused. Talking to my teachers reminded me of lessons I'd learned while getting my teaching degree:  "People remem...

'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...
