Jonathan Jackson - God Had Another Plan (CCM)

Jonathan Jackson - God Had Another Plan
Jonathan Jackson has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called God Had Another Plan.

The lyrics to this song brought to mind a verse in Matthew 28, verse 20, "I Will Be With You Always."
These were His last words of encouragement to those whose world had been turned upside down and inside out! A group of people who believed Jesus to be the Messiah that would save the world, only to see Him arrested and crucified later. Their world felt like an emotional roller coaster. 

Despite today's challenges, this promise still remains true and powerful. A promise that also applies to you personally. Even if you feel like your life is a rollercoaster at times, there is comfort in knowing that God has another plan for you. 

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
I felt like I needed pain to heal the hurt
All the scars marked the signs of my worth                                                               
Would anyone miss me if I was gone          
Would anybody care if I wasn’t there at all

CHORUS
But God had another plan
That death was not my end
He spoke life in me again
My story wasn’t over
Cause he keeps moving closer
Till my pain is no longer my shame
God had another plan
 
VERSE 2
Deeper than I thought, greater than I knew,
Though my grief was strong, it melted in His truth
That every cut erased within His wounds
He took my scars to the cross and left them in the tomb
 
BRIDGE
I was lost
Within myself
But I wasn’t hidden
He was there with me
I was all alone
With my darkest thoughts my faith was cold
But it didn’t scare Him
Cause He was there with me
He stayed right with me

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...
