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)

"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....

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"No One Like You Jesus" by Morgan Starner: Why Only Jesus Can Carry Your Burdens

Who really deserves your loudest praise? “No One Like You Jesus” by Morgan Starner didn’t start in a studio. It started as a voice memo, hummed late at night, half-formed and unfinished. Morgan took that fragile melody into the studio and built it up, layer by layer, until it held over 100 stacked vocals. The result sounds like a celebration. Bright, rhythmic, and impossible to sit still while listening. That’s the point of this song… Gospel-pop with a modern pulse, made to move bodies and hearts at the same time.  Listen to the bridge, and you’ll hear a question underneath the beat: “Who else gonna take my burdens? Who else gonna get me through?” Morgan answers the question without hesitation. “No one else but You.”   Scripture asks the same question, thousands of years earlier. Here is how Moses responded after crossing the Red Sea: “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?” (Exodus 15:11, ESV...
