New City Collective and Dave Aubrey - Rest in the Shadows (CCM Christmas)

New City Collective and Dave Aubrey - Rest in the Shadows
New City Collective and Dave Aubrey have released a Christian Christmas track called Rest in the Shadows.

We are sharing the title track to New City Collective's brand new advent album. 

Lyrics:

Eden's rest is lost and forgotten
Kings and kingdoms have come and gone
Shadows lengthened, hearts now hardened
Longing for the Morning Star

Every generation's been groaning
Darkness filling an earth left undone
How long 'til our God will save us
In the shadows, wait for the Sun

Heaven's army bursts on the night sky
Announcing peace, God's rest to bring
Shepherds, wisemen, all who come, find
In Bethlehem is born the King

Unto us God's Son is given
Here in us Christ Jesus now dwells
He the promised One will save us
In the shadows, Immanuel

See Him now, our Savior dying
Pierced for our sins by His own design
This darkest shadow no supplying
Life and light to all mankind

Risen now, the Light is shining
Filling earth with His love and truth
'til the day He comes back for us
And all creation will be made new

All our sin now long forgotten
God's great love forever we'll sing
Until then we'll live victorious
For in these shadows we rest in Him

You can rest in the shadows
There is hope in the shadows
There's good news in the shadows
Find His rest in the shadows

'The Fall' by Josh Wright: Embracing Healing Through Pain

Josh Wright's new song, 'The Fall,' is about the dark and heavy moments that often come with loss, grief, and sin. Most of us have been there, feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame. But that is not where God wants us to linger! Yes, it's important to understand the consequences of our actions, but there is also a next chapter. God wants us to 'get up' and 'keep going.'  Josh beautifully sings about this next chapter in 'The Fall.' With lyrics like, 'I didn't want the valley, I didn't want the dark,' you can feel the pain and reluctance that Josh experienced. He continues, 'Nobody wants to stumble or ever hit the ground. Nobody wants to have to hurt for healing to be found.'   Josh emphasizes that although we're not looking for pain, it does play an important part in understanding God's love. If there is no contrast, e.g., no pain, then how will we be able to appreciate God's love and plan for us? This is how

'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.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that
