Emily Faith - Rebel (CCM)


Emily Faith has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Rebel.

This song carries a message of hope and a reminder that God is in control in spite of all the hurt and fear spreading throughout the world. 

While many artists feel pressure to fit into one box, Emily Faith chooses to fight against that narrative as she tells stories of faith, freedom, and persistent joy rooted in Jesus while highlighting the country styles of the Opry stages where she grew up performing.
Emily’s entry into the Contemporary Christian space began in 2017 when she opened for the Newsboys “God’s Not Dead - Rivals” tour, and shortly after, opening for FOR KING & COUNTRY when she was only 16. Releasing a few Christian pop songs, making regular writing trips to Nashville, and connecting with the right production team helped Emily develop her sound which includes elements of both Christian and Country.

Openness and true connection radiate through Emily’s music and lyrics. Drawing from her own personal experience with faith and culture, Emily’s songs walk listeners through a positive journey, encouraging them in their faith while bringing a sense of settled happiness.

Lyrics:

Staring at my screen
See the hurt and fear
Sticks and stones get thrown  
I’m on the edge of tears

Tough to not lose heart 
When I look around these days
World with so much dark
Weighing on my faith

Trying hard to drag me down
But I’m gonna stand my ground 
Won’t let go of this strength I’ve found

Call me a rebel
I won’t give up hope
I’ll keep believing
God’s still in control
There’s a reason for every moment
There’s a love that won’t let me go 
So call me a rebel
A rebel
Cause I won’t give up hope
No I won't give up hope

I know what to do
Shut the world away
Spend some time with you
It starts to lift the weight

You’ve got each moment in your hands
You see beyond the things I can 
 I want the future you’ve got planned
Your power gives me strength to stand

Call me a rebel
I won’t give up hope
I’ll keep believing
God’s still in control
There’s a reason for every moment
There’s a love that won’t let me go 
So call me a rebel
A rebel
Cause I won’t give up hope
No I won't give up hope

Go against the grain
Stepping out in faith 
Don’t care what they say
I won't give up
Go against the grain
Stepping out in faith 
Don’t care what they say
I won't give up hope

Call me a rebel
I won’t give up hope
I’ll keep believing
God’s still in control
There’s a reason for every moment
There’s a love that won’t let me go 
So call me a rebel
A rebel
Cause I won’t give up hope
No I won't give up hope
I won't give up
I won't give up hope

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.'

Avery Stafford's "Manna (Come on Down)": A Reminder of God's Faithfulness

Avery Stafford's "Manna (Come on Down)" is a beautiful reminder that God never forgets us. The song was inspired by Avery's own journey of faith. He remembers how excited he felt as a 7-year-old standing in front of a church in San Jose, CA, when he said "yes" to Jesus. Avery has that same fire and excitement for God's constant presence and provision today.  The song's title is a nod to a youth rally called Mannafest, emphasizing that God continues to provide for us amidst life's challenges, just as He provided manna in the wilderness. God reigns, even though hopelessness, loneliness, and disappointments constantly plague our world. The acts and consequences of people's choices can distract our focus from God. It is through lyrics like "Remind me, Lord, just why I need You living in my dreams" and "Spirit, come on down," that Avery calls us to remember God's unending faithfulness and reignite our initial love and de...
