Matt Pelt - Standing In The Ashes (CCM)


There's nothing quite like the power of Jesus to change a person's life. The song 'Standing in the Ashes' by Matt Pelt beautifully captures this experience, describing how Jesus' love, grace, and sacrifice can take us from where we were to the person we were meant to be. Matt wrote this song a while ago (prior to August 2020), and has now officially released it... and we're excited about this release.

Matt Pelt - Standing In The AshesThe lyrics speak of a melody written on the heart, a revelation of who Jesus is, and walls being torn down. It speaks of the love of Jesus as the river in the desert and the perfect shelter in the midst of life's storms. It talks about how Jesus' blood had a mission to bring redemption and change the world through the power of His sacrifice.

Matt sings about a new day turning, revival burning, and hearing Jesus' voice sing that He is still overcoming. The chorus is one that stays in my head long after the song has finished, where Matt sings about letting the fire of Jesus bring revival, purifying and burning down all of our failures, leaving behind ashes of who you used to be.

The message of the song is clear, Jesus' transformative power is real, and it can change us from the inside out. It doesn't matter how far we've fallen, or how deep we've sunk, the love and grace of Jesus can always reach us and raise us up, out of the ashes, to become the person that He meant us to be.

"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 ...

"What's That I Hear? (Murrell Ewing Cover)" by The Fosters: When Gospel Comes Home

What if one song could make you feel the pull of heaven so strongly that your heart wishes: "Please don't wake me // For soon the eastern sky will part and I'll see His face." That's exactly what The Fosters deliver with their reimagining of Murrell & Joan Ewing's 1978 classic, "What's That I Hear?" Originally a staple of Rev. Murrell Ewing's ministry and later recorded by various southern gospel legends, this song has been brought home, straight back to its Pentecostal roots. Andrew, Devi, and their three children breathe new life into it, layering family harmony over a real brass section that powers a Sunday morning revival. The longing that is at the heart of this song is unmistakable: "This old world has lost its charm; it's no place for me." It touches a feeling that many believers know quite well, a sense of restlessness and longing for something larger than what this earthly life has to offer. The song reminds us th...

"Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective: When His People Unite, Mountains Move

(by Jasper Tan) "Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective (featuring Sherwin Gardner, Marc Isaacs, and Alicia Taylor) is a live recording of a powerful, high-energy worship anthem that embodies what the collective calls "Caribbean Worship." The group invites us into a celebration of faith, utilizing the culture from the Caribbean islands and how they express it as a living proof of God's goodness. The song talks about our faith and the new beginnings that are promised to us after we overcome our struggles and hardships. Their repeated proclamation of "Lord, I'm living proof" aims to drive down the message that each one of us is already a living proof of God's faithfulness love, and mercy. We all have our own unique faith experiences and stories that could somehow inspire the people around us. So for those of us who have been know for our strong faith, being able to overcome our struggles and testify about it, brings a more concrete testimony an...
