Shawn Thomas - Takes Hold (CCM)

Shawn Thomas has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Takes Hold.

"Takes Hold" is a funky, upbeat Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song written and performed by Christian recording artist and worship leader, Shawn Thomas (https://www.shawnthomasonline.com).

The lyrics for "Takes Hold" are inspired by Romans 8:24-27 with specific emphasis on verse 26 which says "...the Spirit helps us in our weakness." This verse translated from Greek more accurately means the Spirit "takes hold" of us and is "together with us" in our time of infirmity and weakness.

The song uses the theme of the Holy Spirit taking hold, and incorporates it into the experience of uninhibited and free worship reflecting the excitement and energy that is present "when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth." (John 4:23).

Accompanying the digital release on August 20, 2021, is a high-energy music video available on YouTube (https://youtu.be/CSVDkRZ_Qzk). The first live performance of this song will debut during a Live on StageIt performance on Sunday, September 12th at 6pm eastern time (https://www.stageit.com/ShawnThomas).

Lyrics

Verse 1
On the edge keeping my face forward - God I’m tired but I’m gonna wait
Old doubt trying to keep me cornered - Another round another leap of faith

PreChorus
There’s hope though I may not see it - There’s truth if I just believe it
There’s joy if I choose to feel it - A breakthrough if I just receive it

Chorus
Look out cuz here I come – my feet are ready to run
No doubt where it comes from – When the Spirit takes hold, takes hold of me
Make room I’m coming through – Lord knows what I might do
I think you feel it too – When the Spirit takes hold, takes hold of me

Verse 2
Stepping out in all my weakness - Close my eyes trying to find my nerve
Letting go of giving up my secrets - Knowing grace is more than I deserve

Bridge
For in this hope I am saved – He searched my heart and knows
Together with us – with me and with you
What shall separate? I’m free in the truth!

Tag/Adlib
Hope is what I got cuz I am saved
Don’t know how to stop giving You praise
Spirit take hold, take hold and lead the way

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br
