Switchfoot - if i were you (CCM)


Switchfoot has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called if i were you.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
2020 enemies
What a dismal odyssey
[Hell bound the apathy?]
Is there any remedy?
'Cause we bicker over Listerine
With Twitter as our liturgy
What a crummy legacy
2020 enemies

[Chorus]
If I were you
And you were me
Would we still be doomed
To disagree?
'Cause you'd be me
If I were you
And you never see
My point of view
If I were you
If I were you, mm-mm

[Verse 2]
Hey Romeo, it's Juliet
Are you [?] to kill a Capulet?
Or some denigrating apathetic insult that we both forget?
'Cause fake is on the internet
And fear is on the TV set
Our rage is a habitat
For our 2020 novelettes

[Chorus]
If I were you (If I were you)
And you were me (And you were me)
Would we still be doomed (Would we still be doomed)
To disagree? (To disagree?)
'Cause you'd be me ('Cause you'd be me)
If I were you (If I were you)
And you never see (And you never see)
My point of view (My point of view)
If I were you

[Bridge]
Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs (Oh-oh)
I get the feeling we've been here before (Oh-oh-oh)
Ain't it clear what we're aiming for? (Oh-oh)
Hey babe, we're the dinosaurs
Yeah, but what if me and you
Were in each other shoes
Could we break through?
To somewhere different, somewhere new
'Cause if you're stuck with me
I guess I'm stuck with you
Could we rise above the scars that we both put each other through

[Chorus]
If I were you (I think I'm ready to try us)
And you were me (I think I'm ready to try)
Would we still be doomed (To put the past behind us)
To disagree? (Yeah, to put the past behind)
'Cause you'd be me ('Cause it's already behind us)
If I were you (Yeah, I'm sick of falling behind)
And all I see (I think I'm ready to try us)
Is what you put me through (Maybe I'd be ready to try)

[Outro]
If I were you and you were me, I would be you
And then we'd both be true
I wonder what we'd do
If you were me, I would be you
Would one plus one be two?
I wonder what we'd do
If I were you

Brandon Lake - Praise You Anywhere (CCM)

'Praise You Anywhere' by Brandon Lake is a powerful anthem that encourages us to turn to praise in every season of life. No matter the circumstances we face, choosing to praise God will shift our perspective and ignite faith within us. The lyrics of the song remind us that in the midst of darkness, fire, and challenges, we can dance, sing, and praise God. We are called to worship even when it doesn't make sense and to boldly face the giants that stand before us. The song emphasizes the power of praising God in the highest, acknowledging His worthiness of all our praise.

'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
