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

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
