Sanctus Real - Rebel (CCM)


Sanctus Real has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Rebel.

Here are the lyrics:

Born a rebel
Always tryin' to swim upstream
Answering to no one
No one, but me

Who needs Jesus
When you're tryin' to be James Dean
I never saw a tough man turn his cheek 
That seemed so weak

Look at me thinking I was free
When my hands were really tied
A ball and chain are easier to break
Than a man's foolish pride

I was stumbling down the road to Damascus
You were the truth that I couldn't see
But I heard you say come oh come
Be a rebel for me

For, for me
For, for me

You were a fighter
Love your only cause
You fought so hard
They put you on a cross

Can I believe it
That right up to the bitter end
You chose to lose your life so I could win
And start again

Look at me thinking I was free
When my hands were really tied
A ball and chain are easier to break
Than a man's foolish pride

I was stumbling down the road to Damascus
You were the truth that I couldn't see
I heard you say come oh come
Be a rebel for me

For, for me
For, for me

In this moment there's nothing left I want to hold
I'd give up all the world to gain my soul
So God I'm open, make me what you're looking for
Cause no kingdom of this earth compares with yours

And I'm yours 
I am yours
I'm yours 
Yeah I'm yours
God I'm yours
Oh I'm yours

Oh look at me now I'm finally free
I've got nothing left to hide
Oh if I'm a fool I'm a fool for you
And I give you all that pride

I was stumbling down the road to Damascus
But you knew who I could be
I heard you say come oh come 
be a rebel for me

For, for me
For, for me

Oh I heard you say come, oh come
Be a rebel for me

'Jesus Name' by Seek and Surrender: Embracing the Promise in Prayer

'Jesus Name' by Seek and Surrender is about how powerful it is to speak the name of Jesus. Many Christians will say, 'yes, I know that', but the truth of the matter is that speaking His name is a faith-driven force that is often overlooked as we go through our day-to-day activities.  This song gently reminds us that the truth of Jesus can overpower any lie we face, and reassures us of the freedom we find in Him. It's like having a conversation with your heart and reminding it of hope.  But there is more to this song. It expands on the promises that Jesus made about faith - especially the faith that can move mountains. I have to admit that I have doubts whether my faith can move mountains… I know I still have a way to grow in that. Thankfully, we don't need to to have mastered that level of faith before we see the effects of speaking His name.  Part of the lyrics refer to the passage, 'When you ask, it will be given unto you'. What does that mean? Anythin

Sarah Kroger, Nathan Jess - Belovedness - Live (CCM)

Are you tired of feeling inadequate and alone in your struggles? Have a look at Sarah Kroger's 'Belovedness,' a powerful ballad that reminds us of our worth as children of God. Initially released on Kroger's sophomore album, 'Light,' during the peak of a global healthcare crisis, 'Belovedness' quickly found a following among those battling mental health challenges. The revisited live version, recorded in a barn-turned-studio in the UK countryside, offers a sweet, intimate take on the song, featuring Northern Irish singer-songwriter Nathan Jess on vocals. Kroger wrote the song during a period of personal growth, as she discovered the truth of her identity through reading Henri Nouwen's 'Life of The Beloved.' The lyrics remind us to let go of our past mistakes and the lies we've been told, and to embrace the truth of our belovedness. This song is not only for the Christian community, it is also for anyone struggling with their identity, loo
