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.

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" by Robby Robinson & Andrea Hammond: Stand Firm in His Victory

What fortress stands when everything else shakes? Martin Luther wrote “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” in a time of upheaval. Now Robby Robinson and Andrea Hammond have given this hymn a fresh voice, released just in time for Reformation Week. The arrangement begins softly with piano and a single violin. Then Andrea sings, and it builds into a joyful, uplifting orchestral arrangement with layered strings, piano, and Andrea’s soaring violin. That journey mirrors the faith that we all may find in the lyrics. “A mighty fortress is our God, a sword and shield victorious.” The song doesn’t start loud. It starts with trust, and trust in God is where strength begins. Where do you run when the pressure rises? Many of us reach for busyness, control, or even worry. They crumble. The hymn points to something much more sturdy: “He breaks the cruel oppressor’s rod and wins salvation glorious.” Whatever is binding you has already met its match… in God. Psalm 46:1 says it plainly: “God is our refuge ...
