Phillip Hill - Take Me Down To The Water - Special Edition (Gospel)

Phillip Hill - Take Me Down To The Water - Special Edition
Phillip Hill has released a Gospel track called 'Take Me Down To The Water - Special Edition'.

Phillip shares: "This is a gospel song I wrote that communicates the basic gospel message [...] that being baptized is one of the first steps of obedience God requires of those who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

'Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you' - Matthew 28:19-20

'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.'  - Acts 22:16

Phillip released an earlier version of this song, along with a music video, in 2019. This more recent release includes a new music video and a more traditional gospel arrangement. It is Phillip's most influential song to date.


Lyrics:

I believe with my whole heart, Jesus died for me
So you can take me to a river, or take me to the sea
Sinners wash away their sins, cause Jesus set them free

Now I can see the water, what's preventing me

I don't want to delay
No not another day
I've made up my mind
I'm going all the way

So take me down to the water
So I can be baptized
Take me down to the water
So I can dedicate my life

Take me down to the water
Where the saints are standing by
And dip my body under
And let me testify

I believe with my whole heart, Jesus died for me
So you can take me to a river, or take me to the sea
Sinners wash away their sins, cause Jesus set them free
Now I can see the water, what's preventing me

I don't want to delay
No not another day
I don't want to delay
No not another day
I've made up my mind
I'm going all the way

So take me down to the water
So I can be baptized
Take me down to the water
So I can dedicate my life

Take me down to the water
Where the saints are standing by
And dip my body under
And let me testify

'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...

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...

'Jesus' by Judane: Navigating through Life's storms with Divine Hope

Judane's beautiful song 'Jesus' really helps to grow a deeper appreciation for all that Christ has done and still is doing for us. This song was written between 2019 and 2021, during a time when Judane was facing quite a few challenges. The song is about personal struggles, how we tend to deal with fear, doubt, and insecurities, and where we can find true hope. The lyrics also share an eternal truth - a truth that serves as a lifeline that is thrown to us in the middle of stormy seas - that Jesus is our one true hope. The song 'Jesus' illustrates a journey from feeling 'not good enough' or 'never strong enough' to realizing, that even in the face of despair, there is someone we can trust, and that is Jesus. He is here to restore, renew, and strengthen us, showing us who we really are. Allow Judane's soothing melody to wash away your anxieties, break them down, and invite you enter into a solid and tangible bond with Christ. The song...
