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

"Psalm 112 (I'm Confident)" by Young Presley: No Fear in Bad News

What is your house built on?  We all face bad news at some point or other in life. It could be a diagnosis, a layoff, a broken relationship — the question isn’t whether hard news will come, but how you’ll respond when it happens. Young Presley wrestled with that question while he was writing his song “Psalm 112 (I’m Confident)”. The song is part of a Psalms series, coming from a simple vision: turn scripture into music that people will actually listen to. These songs are not intended as a substitute for reading the Bible, but an invitation to further read and explore the Bible. The chorus captures the key message of Psalm 112: “I do not fear bad news, I’m confident, trust in the Lord who cares to be my confidence.” That’s not the denial of bad news. It’s a decision to place your confidence and trust in God.  Look at what David wrote centuries ago in Psalm 112:7–8: “He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. His heart is steady; he will not be afrai...

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

For Such A Time As This - Amanda Nolan (CCM)

The lyrics speak to those who may be feeling hesitant or uncertain about stepping into their calling but are encouraged to trust in God's plan and purpose for their life. The song draws inspiration from the book of Esther and the concept that everything in our lives happens for a reason and that perhaps our past experiences have led us to this very moment. The chorus reminds us that we were born for this moment and that we have Heaven on our side. The uplifting message of the song is further emphasized by the powerful instrumentation and Amanda's passionate vocals. The song's bridge encourages listeners to raise their voice up to the sky and let their heart ring out for Christ.
