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

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...

'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...

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...
