Drakeford - Ruins (CCM)


'Ruins' by Drakeford is a captivating CCM song that delves into the depths of the human condition and the longing for restoration. The lyrics are filled with metaphors and vivid imagery that convey the brokenness inherent in humanity.

The song acknowledges the singer's own flaws and brokenness, recognizing that he has always been tattered and unable to hold himself together. The recurring theme of falling apart emphasizes the universal nature of human brokenness.

Drakeford - RuinsThe chorus draws parallels between personal brokenness and the ruins of ancient civilizations, serving as a reminder that no one is exempt from the fall. Despite this, there is a yearning for restoration, for the Maker to bring forth transformation and restore us to a city on a hill, a place of beauty and hope.

The second verse explores the fear of disappointing those we care about and the vulnerability that comes with growing closer to someone. The bridge introduces the concept of salvation and redemption, with the imagery of lifting hands in worship and the sacrifice of the one sent by God to save.

The song ends on a note of hope, highlighting the power of Jesus Christ to bring life to the ruins. It conveys the belief that even in the midst of brokenness, there is the possibility of restoration and renewal through faith.

'Ruins' offers a reflective and introspective perspective on the human condition and points to the hope found in Christ for redemption and restoration.

"The Christ" by NewSpring Worship: Answering the Call to Confess

NewSpring Worship's new release, called "The Christ", invites us to answer Jesus' timeless question: "Who do you say that I am?" The song takes us to the scene of Mark 8:29, where Jesus and His disciples were on their way to Caesarea Philippi, and He asked His disciples: "Who do men say that I am?" After the disciples answered, Jesus turned the question around and made it personal… He asked them: "But what about you? Who do you say I am?' Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah.'" Tom, one of the members of NewSpring Worship shared: "… we want that to be a confession of every individual in our church and outside of our church. And we want that to be a confession of everybody." That's the heart of the song. Ask yourself, if you had been there together with the other disciples on that road with Jesus, what would your answer be to His question, "Who do you say that I am?" With this song, you have the oppor...
