Ray Curenton - Aroundabout (CCM)

Ray Curenton - Aroundabout
Ray Curenton has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'Aroundabout'.

"Lyrically, this song, like much of my catalog, is all about finding encouragement even amid uncertainty", says Ray. He continues: "It can be disillusioning to feel like your life is stuck on a loop of hardship and denials. Lord knows living through this pandemic for more than two years has felt like that for ALL of us. But, as the song posits, what if there might be little life lessons and revelations that we might be able to glean along the way? Perhaps they may even hold the key to our salvation…."


Lyrics:

Ayy, so I really need to break down and finally get a pedicure, man
I'm not tired yet…but I think my feet might be
You know, running for Jesus?

Round, round, round

Been around the block a few times now, and here's the thing:
Life has a funny way of sending you back and back, back and back again
You could have conniptions worried 'bout what seasons bring (Bring)
Truth is your need for closure could awaken events that once had been
I know you're already ready for greener pastures (Greener pastures)
Wanna kick and scream, feel like forces in charge have put you on parole
But what if the glow-up lies in unfinished chapters
And all you need to do is surrender to what is beyond your control?

And if you ain't get what you need on the first try
God will press repeat: it's your chance for a rewind
Get in your lane, don't let your exit pass by
'Cus if it does you'll have to go back a…

Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(Keep your head and don't let it take you out)
Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(You gon' win as long as you don't bow out)

Round and around and around and a
Ooh!

You may be about to really, truly, catch a case
Same job, same commute, same funny money, same broke-down relationship
Look, I don't know the reason why you've returned to this place
But I know a power discovering truth in thankless stewardship
If you don't allow cycles to fill you up with spite
Finding new perspective for your circumstance unlocks exclusive scoops
Here comes the opportunity to finally get it right (Mmm get it right)
Let it pave the way for you to find yourself out of that awful loop

And if you ain't get what you need on the first try
You can press repeat on this song for a rewind
Get in your lane, don't let your exit pass by
'Cus if it does you'll have to go back a…

Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(Keep your head and don't let it take you out)
Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(You gon' win as long as you don't bow out)

Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(Keep your head and don't let it take you out)
Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(You gon' win as long as you don't bow out)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Forever" by Randy Wade: The God Who Has Always Been

The King who reigns forever also reigns over you. Before a single star burned in the sky, before the first mountain rose from the earth, God was. Worship Pastor and Contemporary Christian songwriter Rev. Randy Wade captures this in his song “Forever”, a song built on the unshakeable and eternal nature of God. “Before the mountains were lifted high, before the stars gave light to the sky, You O Lord have always been, the One with no beginning and no end.”   Randy wrote “Forever” to point our hearts toward Christ. The song pulls your gaze off the noise of daily life and fixes it on the One who exists outside of time. We have a God who doesn’t react to circumstances, but One who reigns above them. Revelation 1:8 declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This scripture isn’t just a declaration; it can also be read as a personal promise. It is the same God who holds eternity in His hands who also holds your uncerta...
