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)

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...

"Consider the Lilies" by Madison Earl: A Gentle Call to Trade Worry for Trust

Who carries your worries when they feel too heavy? Arizona worship leader Madison Earl wrote “Consider the Lilies” for anyone who has lain awake worrying about tomorrow’s problems. It is the third of four original songs she plans to release in 2026. The message for this song is inspired by Matthew 6:26–34. Madison’s hope is that listeners remember that “they don’t have to carry everything on their own.” The chorus asks the questions we all ask. “What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?” Your questions may also be about an increase in rent, unpaid bills, test results, a difficult boss, a wayward child, and more… all of those questions fit. Then comes the answer: “He’s always there.” Jesus made the same point when He was sitting on a hillside. He told his listeners, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” Then he asked, “Are you not of more value than they?” Ask yourself that same questio...
