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

'Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester: Encapsulating the Resilient Battle of Faith

Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester is a powerful Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song that confronts a universal and challenging issue — the battle with inner demons. Nestled within the soothing melody and catchy rhythm are impactful lyrics conveying despair, struggle, and ultimate redemption. As the song begins, 'All my life, I’ve been battling with my demons,' listeners are instantly embraced with understanding, compassion, and know they are not alone in their struggles. The profound lyrics echo the pain of life's battles and the weariness they create, yet they’re also filled with hope. We are reminded that even while we are lost and conflicted, God's presence becomes our refuge. As we heed the voice of Nester, immersed in sincerity and conviction, the lyrics resonate, 'So fill me with your fire. Until I feel it burning bright and all the darkness turns to light.' It is a plaintive cry for God's sanctifying fire — His divine intervention to ov...

Next week, in part 2, we will focus on your online hub, ways to attract more visitors to your online hub, and being more than a musician.   Why do some Christian artists have millions of monthly streams on the streaming platforms, while other great artists struggle to get more than a few thousand monthly streams? Many Christian Artists struggle to reach new listeners.

What saddens me is that many Christian artists only scratch the surface of their music marketing possibilities. DIY-platforms, such...

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
