Ruth A Harris - The Great Escape (CCM)

Ruth A Harris has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'The Great Escape'.

Ruth A Harris - The Great Escape

Ruth shares: "I had no intention of writing for 'the young at heart' until I was asked if I would consider writing a theme song for a children’s holiday club a couple of years ago. Having worked with children of all ages for the majority of my working career, and as a volunteer at church, I figured that it might be fun to try. The rest is, as they say “history”!! This is the third song aimed at younger ages that I’ve written, but the first officially released. It was originally written for a holiday club that got 'covid cancelled'!  I was inspired for the intro to the song by the theme tune for the children’s programme “Rhubarb and Custard” and I know its catchy because my family groan when they hear the song, because they know it will be in their head for the rest of the day!"

"I Need God" by Richard Baś: Because Nothing Else Really Satisfies

Have you ever chased what you thought was peace and come up empty?  “I Need God” by Richard Baś is a song for people who keep searching and never find enough. Richard wanted a Christian song with energy and edge — something that causes listeners to experience certain emotions that are regularly not in the Christian genre. The song opens with restlessness: “These days I’m running from my own shadow,” he sings, “trying to find a peace of mind.” He tries love. He tries drugs. He tries more. Nothing changes. That’s the trap that so many of us already know. We chase one thing, then another, hoping the next thing will finally be enough… But it never really is.  There is a shift in the song. “Jesus has set me free and I, I am free now,” Richard declares. The running stops. The striving stops. Richard names it clearly: “Yeah I need God.”   The song echoes the same message that we read in Psalm 42:1–2: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My so...

"I Love to Praise Your Name" by Chrystal: Worship That Survives the Storm

A declaration of consistent devotion and faithfulness to God (by Jasper Tan) Chrystal Williams-Alberty’s “I Love to Praise Your Name” is a beautiful and heartfelt contemporary praise and worship song. The song focuses on our devotion and adoration to our God. The lyrics are simple but deep in expression. Reminding us that to worship God is a lifelong commitment, and we should always give our gratitude and faithfulness to our loving God. The song shares a message that is similar to Psalm 34:1 —  “I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Chrystal came up with the song from her own personal experiences where she wants to praise God even in her most difficult times. This shows us that praising God isn’t just when things are going our way, but even in the most trying times; our devotion and faithfulness to him must remain constant. This is what makes this song beautiful because it came from a place of sincerity and raw honesty. Chrystal shows her unw...

"Arrows (Psalm 127)" by Matt Rees: Raising Children With God

Children aren’t a burden — they’re a gift. “Arrows (Psalm 127)” by Matt Rees is a simple family-centered message about trusting God to guide you as you build your home. Matt picked up an acoustic guitar and let Psalm 127 speak for itself — warm, simple, family-centered. No embellishment needed. The words carry their own weight. “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,” the song opens. “The fruit of the womb is a reward.” This line (quoting Psalm 127:3) points out that children are a “gift/reward from God,” and shouldn’t be confused with “wages you’ve earned” or “proof of divine favor you possess.” This scripture isn’t making a claim about the worth, status, or blessedness of people who don’t have children. Those are two different statements, and a lot of painful misreading happens when the second gets smuggled in under the first. Children are not a burden, or an inconvenience squeezed into a busy schedule. Psalm 127:4 compares children to “arrows in the hand of a warrior”  ...
