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.

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
