Elias Dummer - How Many Songs Does It Take To Save the World? (CCM)

Elias Dummer - How Many Songs Does It Take To Save the World?
On Friday, June 24, Elias Dummer shared new music with this track titled 'How Many Songs Does It Take To Save the World?'. We are happy to be able to share the lyrics with you. The official audio can be heard below.

Ever catch yourself asking: "Where is God? How can this happen if He is in control?" But did you ever think about how you pray or sing? Is your prayer or praise the kind that has no power behind it? A prayer that doesn't reach higher than the ceiling, or is just one of those things you think you should do as a Christian?
What place does Christ really have in your life? Do you consider it a sacrifice when you go to church, and do you then sit there looking at the clock, anxiously waiting for the last 'amen' to ring?

All God asks is that we be faithful and include Him in our lives... not just when we face difficulties, have doubts, or during that hour or two on Sunday. He desires the entire package. Elias Dummer sings about how God is with you and that His song is more than strong enough to rescue. Ask yourself, is the song that you are singing in harmony with His song, and can it be heard throughout every part of your life? 


LYRICS

If I sing a new song
It had better be one worth singing
Not just for a quick buck
God knows that these verses don’t bring it
You cried for justice while I hummed a tune
You call the righteous now I’m asking You
Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

If I sing a new song
It had better be one I’m living
Not just Sunday morning
A cup of coffee, high notes, and giving
You want us faithful
We bargain for power
You want the whole thing
I offered an hour
Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

‘Cause if there’s one song
Well I’ll die to sing it
Don’t care bout hit songs
Preached to the choir
Wake up, you giant!
Quit lullabying
Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

If I sing a new song
It had better ring out with justice
Not just for its own sake
With tired lines and old borrowed phrases
When yours is kingdom, don’t need market share?
You’d kick over tables In our house of prayer
Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

‘Cause if there’s one song
Im gonna sing it
Don’t care bout hit songs
Preach to the choir
Wake up, you giant!
Quit lullabying
Tell me, how many songs does it take to save the world?

(One) God is with you and His song is
(Love) More than strong enough to rescue
(Come) he’s delighted so be silent
And you’ll hear that he’s been singing

"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...
