Amanda Nolan - Broken Pieces (CCM)


We've most likely all had times in our lives when we felt broken and shattered, as if there was no way to put the pieces back together. Amanda explains that her song is about God reshaping the broken pieces of our lives into something better than they were before. She says: 'When we feel we are a lost cause, Jesus picks us up piece by piece and makes us a masterpiece through closeness with Him. He picked up all of my broken pieces, and he can do the same for yours.'

The song's lyrics beautifully express this message. Amanda sings about the broken pieces of her heart scattered on the floor and how God can use broken pieces to create something beautiful. She sings, 'I give You all my broken pieces, with You I know I can leave it. You're the God of stained glass miracles, You're making all things beautiful.'

Amanda Nolan - Broken PiecesAmanda continues to sing about how God sees the beauty in scars and the art in broken pieces. Every masterpiece is actually made up of broken pieces, and in the hands of the Master, these pieces change into something with eternal beauty.

It's easy to believe that our broken pieces will never be put back together again if all you are looking at is a world that can be quite harsh and unforgiving. Amanda's song reminds us to look beyond the world and knows that God is in the business of making masterpieces. So, if you're feeling broken and shattered, let this song remind you that God is ready to use your shattered pieces and turn them into a masterpiece if you let Him.

"Thankful" by Lowen: The Practice of Being Thankful

Lowen's "Thankful" isn't one of those typical feel-good gratitude songs. Life is good most of the time… and even when it hurts, there's often something quietly waiting inside the pain, like a lesson, a softening, or a deeper understanding. Lowen found inspiration for this song in what Stephen Colbert once said, "… he learned to love the thing he most wished had never happened, and that simply being here is a gift. Gratitude means holding all of it, not just the easy parts."   The lyrics open with a warm anchor: "Every day that I wake, I just feel so thankful." We're encouraged not to flinch from the messy middle. This is not about ignoring life's quakes! Lowen admits, "honesty is telling me I need space" when the world feels unsteady. In other words, the gratitude that Lowen sings about isn't about forcing a smile through pain — it's about meeting every moment (including the hard moments) with presence, care, and res...

"He Must Increase" by Rorie: Humbling ourselves in God’s presence

Inspired by the verses John 3:30, Philippians 3:7–8, and John 10:27, Rorie releases "He Must Increase", a beautiful song that reminds us of the sound of CCM from the 2000s, easily the era when the rise of CCM was at its peak. Rorie sings the song with earnestness as she opens the lines "The seasons change and we are aging, But You alone are God of the ages." You'll immediately know that this song is putting God front and center. There's a certain aspect of the song that clearly wants to remind us that God will always be bigger than us. That his glory and mercy will always shine through, and we are mere travelers in the world that he built. Everything emanates from him, and we cannot claim to be bigger than God.  It's a humbling reminder that what we have, what we attained, it all comes as a blessing that He has gifted to us. We cannot claim that it is our works that brought us the joys and triumphs. These gifts and accomplishments are nothing without Hi...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
