Ray Curenton - Aroundabout (CCM)

Ray Curenton - Aroundabout
Ray Curenton has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'Aroundabout'.

"Lyrically, this song, like much of my catalog, is all about finding encouragement even amid uncertainty", says Ray. He continues: "It can be disillusioning to feel like your life is stuck on a loop of hardship and denials. Lord knows living through this pandemic for more than two years has felt like that for ALL of us. But, as the song posits, what if there might be little life lessons and revelations that we might be able to glean along the way? Perhaps they may even hold the key to our salvation…."


Lyrics:

Ayy, so I really need to break down and finally get a pedicure, man
I'm not tired yet…but I think my feet might be
You know, running for Jesus?

Round, round, round

Been around the block a few times now, and here's the thing:
Life has a funny way of sending you back and back, back and back again
You could have conniptions worried 'bout what seasons bring (Bring)
Truth is your need for closure could awaken events that once had been
I know you're already ready for greener pastures (Greener pastures)
Wanna kick and scream, feel like forces in charge have put you on parole
But what if the glow-up lies in unfinished chapters
And all you need to do is surrender to what is beyond your control?

And if you ain't get what you need on the first try
God will press repeat: it's your chance for a rewind
Get in your lane, don't let your exit pass by
'Cus if it does you'll have to go back a…

Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(Keep your head and don't let it take you out)
Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(You gon' win as long as you don't bow out)

Round and around and around and a
Ooh!

You may be about to really, truly, catch a case
Same job, same commute, same funny money, same broke-down relationship
Look, I don't know the reason why you've returned to this place
But I know a power discovering truth in thankless stewardship
If you don't allow cycles to fill you up with spite
Finding new perspective for your circumstance unlocks exclusive scoops
Here comes the opportunity to finally get it right (Mmm get it right)
Let it pave the way for you to find yourself out of that awful loop

And if you ain't get what you need on the first try
You can press repeat on this song for a rewind
Get in your lane, don't let your exit pass by
'Cus if it does you'll have to go back a…

Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(Keep your head and don't let it take you out)
Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(You gon' win as long as you don't bow out)

Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(Keep your head and don't let it take you out)
Round and around and around and a oh-oh
Round and around and around and a oh
Round-round and around and around and aroundabout
(You gon' win as long as you don't bow out)

'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
