David Leonard - Light a Fire (CCM)

David Leonard - Light a Fire
On Friday, July 22, David Leonard shared new music with this track titled 'Light a Fire'. 

A prayer, so simple and pure, one that many will recognize in their own life. "Lord, restore to me the joy of my salvation. Please take me back to the beginning, when all I desired was your presence. Oh, how my life has changed because of you. Breathe again on the ambers and reignite that fire in my heart. A love taken back to the start."

We are happy to be able to share the lyrics with you. The official audio can be heard below.

Lyrics:

[Verse]
Restore to me the joy of my salvation
Take me back to where it all began
Where all I ever wanted was your presence
How I long to be there once again

[Chorus]
Light a fire
That the world can't burn out
Fan the flame
Till nothing between us remains
My life is an alter to you
Breathe again
On the ambers that burn In my heart
A love taken back to the start
My life is an alter to you

[Verse]
Renew in me a pure and willing Spirit
Take me back to where it all began
Oh, before it all became so complicated
Oh, how I long to be there once again

[Chorus]
Light a fire
That the world can't burn out
Fan the flame
Till nothing between us remains
My life is an alter to you
Breathe again
On the ambers that burn In my heart
A love taken back to the start
My life is an alter to you

[Bridge]
God I'm sorry
Please forgive me
For when I've gone cold
Lord I need you
How I need you
To awake my soul

[Chorus]
Light a fire
That the world can't burn out
Fan the flame
Till nothing between us remains
Yeah, my life is an alter to you, oh
Breathe again
On the ambers that burn In my heart
Yeah, a love taken back to the start
My life is an alter to you

[Bridge]
God I'm sorry
Please forgive me
(For when I've gone cold)
(Lord I need you)
(How I need you)
(To awake my soul)

'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...

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
