Canyons - Oh, How I Trust You (Album) (CCM)



Canyons - Distant

Canyons have released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) album called 'Oh, How I trust You'.

'Distant' and 'River' are two characteristic songs from the album. An album filled with prayers and moments that many will be able to relate to... Moments and situations when we think that we may not deserve Him by our side, and then realize that He is always there.

'Distant' is an attempt to recall the confusion between overwhelming grief and the precious comforts that meet us in the midst of it. Knowing, as if it were a punch in the chest, that He is always there and you really can not miss it. Knowing that you don't need to ask because He is not far away. He is there by your side when you cry out, sing to the sky, and bring on the drama.

What greater comfort can He give us than knowing that all we have to do is lift our eyes to Him and pray? Have total faith in Him and know that He is a magnificent God! No matter how hopeless or desperate your situation appears, it pales in comparison to His power!


'River' is a song about peace, the kind of peace that can be compared to a river that is always flowing... and there will be plenty more to come... waiting to be yours to immerse yourself in. There is a rescue for the wayward, the wounded, and the weary soul. He is reviving us even as we are breaking. Our Healer is Jesus.

'River' was initially written for two of John and Trisha's friends who needed to know that, and ultimately 'River' became a reminder for their own soul...

We enjoy the songs on this album and believe there are more people that can use these beautiful musical reminders to help heal and tune their soul as well. He is an awesome God, deserving of your trust, and no matter how messed up things may seem... He is there for you.

A message from John and Trisha:

"We’ve written these songs for our local community, and from our personal journeys with Jesus. Some were created as a way for our church to sing and remember as we studied different parts of the Bible. Others were written from some of our best conversations, our worst moments, and a need to make music to process. Our crazy-talented musician friends joined us as we shifted these specific prayers and memories into collaborative celebration and grief. While we didn’t write with a theme in mind, the struggle, choice, and potential joy to trust in Jesus emerged as a through-line of the album.
We hope you love it." - John and Trisha

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

Red Letter Society - Image (Our Praise) (CCM)

"Image," by Rede Letter Society carries a profound message that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas and the revelation of God's character through Jesus. I encourage you to take a moment and listen to this beautiful song.  "Image" was originally intended to be a non-typical Christmas song, devoid of the traditional elements associated with the holiday season. Instead, it focuses on the significance of Jesus as the image of the invisible God. When we look at Jesus, we catch a glimpse of God's character and His desires for us. This realization brings reassurance and dispels any notion of God being distant or unknowable. The lyrics beautifully depict the revelation of God through Jesus, highlighting His majesty and reign. Red Letter Society poetically expresses the profound truth that Jesus, the Savior planned before time, is the Messiah present before our very eyes. It's a reminder of the eternal nature of God, who reveals Himself to us so that we may ...

"GREATER THAN THE GRAVE 2026 - Remaster" by Josh Clay: Overcoming Walls and Giants

Have you ever felt like your heart’s gone cold, walls built high like Jericho’s? That’s where Josh Clay’s journey began with his song “Greater Than The Grave”, a song first released in 2022. It was the first song he ever released as an artist, and it’s also the first song that made him say … “yeah, this is my sound!” Years have passed since this song was born, and Josh Clay still sings it with conviction, giving him a good reason to release a remastered version.  Josh shares that this song came after watching a Beatles documentary, where they were explaining that they had 14 days to write 14 songs. He decided right there and then to adopt the same challenge. On the second day of this challenge, while practicing for church, Josh just started singing: “no mountain that may come my way,” and then mumbled something about a grave. In the next 30 minutes, he had the basis for “Greater than the grave”. Josh recalls that this is the song that gave him wings to fly, and without it, t...
