"Six Feet Under" by Alex Young And Friends – Dancing in the Rhythm of Eternal Freedom


Alex Young And Friends' latest single, "Six Feet Under", is a joyful and upbeat song of hope. It's the kind of song and melody that puts a smile on your face and gives you summery feelings. It reminds you just how life-changing faith can be. 

Alex Young And Friends - Six Feet UnderThe song was born during a last-minute writing session on the day before they wrapped up their album, which is funded through a Kickstarter campaign. This song feels alive in every sense because it's all about resurrection and finding true freedom in Christ. The lyrics start with, "Six feet under is where I'd be without You." Without His gift of resurrection to all who embrace Him, there would be nothing for us but chains, emptiness, and despair. But then something changes: a new song, new heart, even the earth breaking … "I'm alive, because of You"

The song tries to give words to what it means to move from spiritual death to freedom. "I feel a new song, new drum beating again" and "Visions of resurrection, bodies rising up," the joy of being unchained and relieved from everything that is holding us down. It's a celebration that we're all longing for. So, if you're feeling weighed down by guilt or fear, may this song remind you that there is a way forward through Christ and the gift of redemption that he offers. Listen closely, you might just hear your own story in this song.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:4-5; Romans 6:23; John 10:10)

"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....
