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

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

'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...

"Great White Throne Judgement" by whispering HOPE: The Final Rebellion

“Great White Throne Judgement” by whispering HOPE takes us to Revelation 20, and how the chaos of this world will come to an end. The lyrics begin with the release of Satan after a thousand years and his ultimate defeat, where “fire comes down from God above.” In other words, Satan’s rebellion is consumed by God’s fire… chaos is instantly met with God’s perfect order. This song reminds us that justice is inevitable. The bridge is about that awe-inspiring moment that will come when “earth and heaven fled away” and the dead stand before the throne. (That’s mind-blowing!!) The question we can ask ourselves is, why live in fear when you can walk in confidence? Choose life today! Recognize that you have the choice to align with truth, His truth, right here and now. Find your security in Christ! Above all, you don’t need to wait for the books to be opened to ask where you stand. May this song inspire you to live faithfully and with confidence that the Judge is righteous eternally. His grac...
