CS Survival Kit - Manger (Christmas)



CS Survival Kit - Manger
CS Survival Kit has released a Christian Christmas (CCM) track called 'Manger'.

There are many people who spend time thinking about what Christmas is all about this year. Take some time this year, as you celebrate everything you have, to think about what Christmas means to you. CS Survival Kit has put together this Christmas tune in the form of a melancholy ballad, as they examine the holiday, its significance, and their place in it all.

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...

"Returning - Live" by Victory House Worship: Waiting with Fire in Our Lamps

“Returning — Live” by Victory House Worship makes us aware that all of creation seems to hold its breath. “The earth is groaning for redemption, Creation reaches for Her King.” That’s the present-day reality that the apostle Paul described centuries ago, and Victory House Worship beautifully captures that in this song. The lyrics don’t dwell only on what Jesus already did at the cross; it looks forward. “The oil in our lamps is burning, For Him who was and is and is returning.” That line carries the whole weight of our Christian hope: Past, present, and future, all coming together in One. Jesus! The bridges elaborates on this hope, comparing His first coming with His second coming. “Though You came as a Lamb, You’ll return as a Lion.” Gentleness gave way to sacrifice once. With His next coming, sacrifice will give way to triumph. Romans 8:22–23 describes the groaning: “the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now… waiting eagerly for adoption as...
