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

"What A Savior" by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship: Never Growing Numb to Grace

Have you ever grown numb to a miracle?  “What A Savior” by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship began as a chorus in a co-write, before it took on a life of its own. Will & Jacinta wanted something rich and almost hymn-like, a bold declaration of who Jesus is — not a tired restatement, but a fresh look. They never wanted to grow “used to” what Jesus accomplished, so they wrote about holding on to Him in every season, regardless of whether it’s calm or chaotic.  The opening lines start with the redemption through Jesus’ blood: “The precious fount, that cleansing flow, the Son of God poured out for all.” That’s the blood that Jesus spilled for you. The song moves from the cleansing through His blood to the result: “The debt I owed and all sin’s claims were buried with You in the grave.” Your debt. Buried. Gone.  Here’s where it gets even more personal. Romans 5:8 says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ...

"If Jesus Danced" by Cameron Pruitt: Making Room for Laughter in Your Walk with God

Does your faith leave room for laughter? Can you imagine Jesus kicking off His sandals, dancing to a rhythm only He can hear? Strange thought? Maybe, but Cameron Pruitt’s song “If Jesus Danced” asks exactly that: “Sometimes I wonder if Jesus danced.” It’s a question worth pondering. Most of us picture Jesus as solemn, serious, carrying the weight of the world. But rarely do we picture Him laughing so hard that “the room relaxed.” Cameron insists this joy was real. Jesus wasn’t just a teacher of hard truths. He was, as Cameron sings, “the life of the party, radiant friend.” He warmed hearts. He had humor. People wanted to be near Him, not because He demanded reverence, but because His presence felt like sunshine. This connects to Psalm 16:11: “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Joy isn’t a distraction from faith. Joy is the destination. God doesn’t just tolerate your happiness; He included j...

"Hallelujah Anyway" by Zach Garrett: Praise That Doesn't Wait for the Storm to Pass

What if worship doesn’t require having answers? Storm clouds hide the stars. The road stretches on with no map and no end in sight. That’s the world Zach Garrett describes in the opening lines of “Hallelujah Anyway,” and if you’ve walked through a season of loss or confusion, you already recognize the setting. Zach wrote this song from inside real darkness, in his case, a stretch of loss, hurt, and unanswered questions that didn’t resolve on his timeline. Zach’s message is that we don’t need to wait for clarity before we choose to worship. Like Zach, we may need to make that choice daily, sometimes hourly, possibly even through gritted teeth. The bridge describes a common misconception: “I used to think that faith meant having all the answers, that doubt was just a sign I wasn’t strong enough to stand.” How many of us carry that same lie? We assume that real faith looks certain, steady, unshaken. We get confused when it isn’t! Zach flips the definition of faith: “Maybe trusting You me...
