TheReal D.Tel - Surrender (CHH)

TheReal D.Tel - Surrender
TheReal D.Tel has released a Christian Hip Hop (CHH) an album called Kingdom Music. The highlighted song from this album is called 'Surrender'. 

Story behind the album 'Kingdom Music':

TRD shares: "When I was 12, I started writing music about things that I thought were cool and heard in songs at the time like: women, drugs, sex, violence, partying non-stop and being a good person gets you nowhere. That kind of music influenced my future decisions on what kind of songs I would start recording, which continued until I realized it.  I also thought it was cool to do the things I said in my music like:
Violence - the more violent the better (in songs)
Womanizing - the more woman you have sex with the better
Drugs and Alcohol - The higher and more drunk you are the better
Partying - Neglect all responsibilities if partying comes first

As I started making better decisions in life through God, my music was still the same and then I had a revelation.  I heard a random Christian song and it was so powerful and positive and full of joy and truth, I cried because it touched me.  I knew, even though I was saved and prayed all the time, something didn't feel right...That's when I started to question myself about the musical direction I was going in:

Would your music inspire or motivate the world?
Does your music help people who listen to it?
Does it make you feel good when you listen to your music?
If someone close died would your music help you cope?
Does your music give hope?

Unfortunately, all the answers to those questions were no...but I kept praying. One day I woke up and knew it was time for a change because beforehand, the decision to jump from all secular music to all Christian music was difficult until now because it was clear...it was peaceful.  I rewrote every song that was about to release and from that moment on, instead of making the music I thought I wanted to make, I vowed to only make Kingdom Music."

I am releasing 'Kingdom Music' to show that no matter what you're going through or what you have been through, it is never too late to turn your life around with Christ and get on what you've been called to do.

The message that I hope listeners take away is to be bold with your believing and endeavors because anything is possible with God."

The highlighted song is called 'Surrender'. 'Surrender' is intended as a reminder that God knows best for you, trust in Him to guide you through.


Lyrics:

let's go

every day every night (every day every night)
i surrender to Christ (I surrender to Christ)

God is a big deal (big deal)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Forever" by Randy Wade: The God Who Has Always Been

The King who reigns forever also reigns over you. Before a single star burned in the sky, before the first mountain rose from the earth, God was. Worship Pastor and Contemporary Christian songwriter Rev. Randy Wade captures this in his song “Forever”, a song built on the unshakeable and eternal nature of God. “Before the mountains were lifted high, before the stars gave light to the sky, You O Lord have always been, the One with no beginning and no end.”   Randy wrote “Forever” to point our hearts toward Christ. The song pulls your gaze off the noise of daily life and fixes it on the One who exists outside of time. We have a God who doesn’t react to circumstances, but One who reigns above them. Revelation 1:8 declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This scripture isn’t just a declaration; it can also be read as a personal promise. It is the same God who holds eternity in His hands who also holds your uncerta...
