Daniel Horton - Sycamore (CCM)


Daniel Horton is a talented, and less known, Christian musician who has just released a new song called 'Sycamore.' This song is about letting go of things that don't build us up and focusing entirely on God. It is based on the story of Zacchaeus, a dishonest tax collector, who climbed into a Sycamore tree and was called down by Jesus. He then sold all his possessions and gave back four times what he had stolen.

The lyrics speak of the struggles we all face in life, from the subtle ways the world can take us to the things we hold on to that keep us from truly knowing God.

Daniel Horton - SycamoreThe song begins with the verse, 'Who knew the world would take me in the most subtle way? My heart's been torn to pieces, I can't seem to put it in place.' This verse immediately captures my attention as it speaks to the struggles that I believe we all face in life. We often don't realize how the world is taking us until it's too late.

The chorus is particularly powerful as it speaks of letting go of everything we hold on to and focusing solely on God. 'Father make me now, all I never was. Father take me down from this Sycamore stump. I hate everything I'm findin' about the hand you hold. Take all the gold and glory, I just wanna know You, Lord.'

Daniel sings about the idea that from time to time we all need to come down our own Sycamore tree, just like Zacchaeus did, and give everything to God. Whether it's money, friends, work, or school, so many things can get in the way of what is truly important.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Daniel Horton further develops his talent. If you're a Christian music lover, I highly recommend you give 'Sycamore' a listen. It's sure to be an uplifting and inspiring experience.

Brandon Lake's heartfelt message resonates with the reality that there are times when we find ourselves in prisons and battles.

"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....

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
