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.

"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....

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...

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.
