Ryan Leigh - PSALM 139 (CCM)



Ryan Leigh - PSALM 139
Ryan Leigh has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'PSALM 139'.

Ryan is a singer-songwriter & worship leader based in Atlanta, GA. She grew up singing in baptist churches while listening to Lauryn Hill, Jonathan McReynolds, Beyonce, Fred Hammond, Mariah, & Whitney amongst others.

Thousands of years ago David and other psalmists wrote these beautiful songs for the Lord. Psalm 139 is one of Ryan's favorite psalms. She's always wondered what they sounded like .... this song is where her imagination has taken her.

Psalm 139 talks of  God's omnipresence and personal understanding of us, which gives us an outsized feeling of hope and comfort in the face of hardship and trial. From birth to death, He sees us, cares for us, and promises to always be there for us. Ryan invites us to consider what it must mean to live with the understanding that God is present in all places and at all times.

Ryan shares: 'My goal is to compel people to learn, know, and trust the Lord. I joined Tik Tok in July 2022, and the Holy Spirit asked me to sing the psalms. I had been meditating on Psalm 139 for weeks before, so when I sat with my guitar, it took me no more than an hour to produce the psalm and upload a video that later went viral. While I never meant for this song to actually be one that was released, I know it is very intentional that people have been introduced to my music in this way. I am SO looking forward to sharing more.'

Ryan is currently working on her debut project with such music influences.

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
