Christian McKinney - Closer To You (CEDM)

Christian McKinney - Closer To You
Christian McKinney has released a Christian EDM (CEDM) track called 'Closer To You'.

Christian  shares: "I wrote this song to explore who our Creator is. It started with what it means to know God on a personal level. Thus, “Closer to You” aims to seek and grow a relationship with God. The goal was to go on this journey to find God, even in the midst of the storm, and grow closer to Him no matter what we are going through and to trust Him."

Lyrics:

Creator of the universe
Lord you take my breath away
From my mother’s womb you’ve chosen me
I will forever live my life for you

Where you lead me, I will follow
Where you send me, I will trust in you
Your plans are greater, your love is higher
You will forever be right next to me

You know my heart
You are my strength
I want to know you more
God, I want to be closer to you

I open my heart to you
Lord, you filled me with your love
In you I find your all I need
I will forever give my life to you

Where you lead me, I will follow
Where you send me, I will trust in you
Your plans are greater, your love is higher
You will forever be right next to me

You know my heart
You are my strength
I want to know you more
God, I want to be closer to you

I want to be closer to you
God, I want to be closer to you

I want to know you more
I want to be in your presence
I want to be your hands and feet
I want to be closer to you
I want to know you more
I want to be in your presence
I want to be your hands and feet
God, I want to be…

I want to be closer to you
God, I want to be closer to you

You know my heart
You are my strength
I want to know you more
God, I want to be closer to you

I want to be closer to you
God, I want to be closer to you

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...

'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...
