"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.  The 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 ...

"Son of God" by Chidiya Ohiagu: Hope That Resonates

Chidiya Ohiagu releases a new rendition of Corry Asbury's song "Son of God" (2016). The message and intent of the song are just as relevant today as they were nine years ago. Chidiya has upgraded the song with a bit more tempo and captivating energy. The song is a reminder of God's grace, sacrifice, and eternal hope, and we're confident that this rendition will quickly deserve a place in many playlists. Although the original has been around for so many years, it still deserves a closer look at its message and intent. In short, the song invites us to stand still and think about what Christ's love really means to us. The song starts takes us back to "… a place of sorrow and love," where our Lord and Savior bore nails, thorns, and unimaginable pain… Not for Himself, He did it all for us. These words aren't heavy-handed; they're intended as a tender reminder of the redemption that He made possible for us. The driver was His love for us, His will...

"Overcomer" by James Bizak: Worship Born from Prayer

James Bizak's "Overcomer" is an acoustic song about overcoming the challenges that life throws at us by placing our faith in Christ. The song was born out of deep prayer and connection with Jesus. It's the kind of song that fills you with hope and reminds you of Who ultimately holds your victory. Imagine "His mercy pouring out far as the eye can see!" God's endless grace, so immense, can easily cover every struggle that we face if we let Him. Bringing God into your life is the key ingredient for victory! James doesn't shy away from the struggles that we may face - he acknowledges them head-on and declares that we too may have victory through Jesus. We are reminded that "His power towers over our enemies," with emphasis on 'towers', because no challenge is too great when we're leaning on Christ.  Worship and praise is the only appropriate response we can have: "You are the Alpha, Omega, the Son and the Savior." What ...

"Strong Foundation" by David Samuel: How This Track Will Strengthen Your Faith

"Strong Foundation" by David Samuel (aka In Him) is a track that is inspired by Luke 6:46–49, and turns one of Jesus' lessons about life's foundations into a beautiful CEDM track. The song follows the story of two brothers in Jericho - one brother carefully plans and builds his home on solid rock, while the other brother rushes off to build his house without much thought. The contrast between the two brothers also mirrors the differences in the way that we respond/deal with life's challenges. Are we holding on to something unshakable, or are we settling for shortcuts? The lyrics beautifully capture the tension between these differences. Lines like "Step by step I find my way // Through trials that block each day," the daily struggle and the determination to trust God. The chorus, "Closer to You I long to stay… Your light whispers and calls me near," that intimate moment when we realize that His love dispels fear and draws us near. In the bridg...

"The Spirit and the Bride" by the Ezra Worship Initiative: Longing Meets Victory in Song

Inspired by the book of Revelations, "The Spirit and the Bride" is a beautiful collaboration between Meredith Andrews and the Ezra Worship Initiative. The song is an invitation to long for something greater than what the world has to offer. The lyrics encourage everyone to develop a deep longing, looking forward to His return, "Stir up a longing / For Your returning." Using imagery from the book of Revelations, the lyrics blend worship with the anticipation of Christ returning triumphantly on a white horse — faithful, true, and unstoppable.  At its heart, this song is both a prayer and a declaration. Lyrics like "Creation is groaning / Heaven is yearning" reflect the increasing pain that all of creation is feeling and its longing for restoration. But it's not all agony; there's also joy, because, "We have a hope / We have a future." With that in mind, we are encouraged to prepare ourselves spiritually and celebrate the victory that Jes...

"Beautiful" by Clay Lambert: Reflections on Love That Changed Everything

Clay Lambert's "Beautiful" is a beautiful song that invites you to pause and reflect on the ultimate act of love—Jesus's journey to the cross. An act of love that extends far beyond what we celebrate during Good Friday/Easter, because it affects each day of our lives. The song has a beautiful blend of acoustic warmth and modern worship vibes, and the lyrics lead to gratitude and awe. It's ideal for quiet time and any other moments that you dedicate to reconnecting with the core of your faith. The lyrics remind us of "the bread and wine they broke before His death" and "The kindness of a man willing to die." The message of the song isn't a retelling of a story - it also draws you into the emotion and gratitude. The message in short? Everything about His sacrifice—the betrayal, the silence amid mocking, the steps toward Calvary— can be seen as horrible, but it is also breathtakingly beautiful because of what it accomplished… what it still m...

"Digital Kingdom" by Fading Faith: Challenging Modern-Day Idols

Fading Faith's "Digital Kingdom" is a wake-up call, encouraging you to have a close look at the way that technology is shaping your life. Fading Faith classifies this song as cinematic alt-pop with ethereal synths and a faith-driven theme. More importantly, it reflects on the isolating grip that social media has on lives, pointing out the emptiness of chasing validation through screens.  So many people are building almost their entire existence on "likes and views," trading their authenticity for digital illusions. Fading Faith's message doesn't hold back —  "You follow gods behind a screen, filter faith to keep it clean." What god are you placing in the center of your life? Do you see how easy it is to twist spirituality into something shallow and bend truths for online approval? But here's the kicker: when the noise fades and the glow dims, there's no escaping what truly matters. Fading Faith sings, "All that's left is you ...
