Rowan Newcomb & Carolyn Cates - Secret Keeper (CCM)


Get ready to be moved by the deeply personal CCM song 'Secret Keeper' by Rowan Newcomb. This heartfelt composition, co-written with Carolyn Cates, delves into the pain of enduring gossip and rejection in a relationship. However, the song's focus is on reconciliation, forgiveness, and finding solace in God as the ultimate confidant.

'Secret Keeper' beautifully captures the emotions of betrayal and the aftermath of having one's privacy exposed. Rowan Newcomb's honest lyrics paint a vivid picture of feeling judged and humiliated, with whispers and snickers following every step. Yet, amidst the hurtful words and the high school drama, Rowan finds strength in turning to God, knowing that their worth lies in Him.

Rowan Newcomb & Carolyn Cates - Secret KeeperThe pre-chorus reminds us that gossip and rumors hold no truth, for our value is rooted in God. It is through this realization that the chorus emerges, with Rowan opening up to God, the true Secret Keeper. In His presence, secrets are safe, wounds are healed, and renewal takes place. Rowan finds comfort in the knowledge that God is a trustworthy confidant who will never betray or expose their vulnerabilities.

As the song progresses, it transitions to a message of reconciliation and friendship. Rowan acknowledges the hazy cloud of blame and shame but longs for open and honest communication to mend their relationship. The power of soothing words and standing together becomes a testament to the strength found in unity and perseverance.

The bridge emphasizes the importance of staying close to one another, even in moments of disagreement. It is in God's guidance and grace that they will find the strength to overcome any obstacles they face. 

I encourage you to listen to 'Secret Keeper' by Rowan Newcomb. Allow yourself to be immersed in the raw emotions conveyed through the lyrics and the heartfelt delivery of the song. Experience the journey of pain, reconciliation, and finding solace in God as the ultimate Secret Keeper. May this song serve as a reminder that God is always there to listen, heal, and guide us through the challenges we face in our relationships.

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford: Forgiven by the Cross, Made Whole

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford retells the well-known story of Christ's sacrifice with a deep personal gratitude. A new rendition of a song that Avery first introduced at a 1993 youth rally on a humble blue cassette tape (!) with the lyrics that focus on Jesus' innocence, His willingness to suffer, and the mystery of a love that is beyond anything we are able to comprehend. Instead of dwelling only on the sorrow, Avery points us to the hope that His tears have made possible. You hear him marvel at Christ's mercy, remind us of His forgiveness even in suffering, and celebrate the healing that comes from a life that He has made whole. The message in this worship anthem, reimagined with cinematic flair, is simple (but not easy): Jesus gave everything, and there is nothing we can do or could have done to earn such an ultimate sacrifice. "With tears in Your eyes, You died for me," but most of all, the lyrics highlight redemption's triu...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"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....
