New Horizons Worship - Leaving Empty (CCM)


'Leaving Empty' by New Horizons Worship is a powerful worship song that encourages listeners to give everything they have to Jesus, just as He gave everything for us. The lyrics speak of costly worship, inspired by examples such as the widow who gave her last mite and the expensive perfume poured on Jesus' feet. The ultimate example of costly worship is Jesus, who emptied Himself on our behalf (Phil. 2:7), and the song encourages us to pour out our lives at His feet and give Him all the glory and honor.

The song is filled with passionate lyrics, such as 'I wanna give you my last dime like the widow did,' and 'I'm leaving empty, I'm leaving empty.' The song speaks of losing all dignity and laying it all at Jesus' feet, in radical abandonment to the worthy One. The chorus repeats the phrase 'You're worthy, You're worthy of it all,' reminding listeners that Jesus is deserving of all our worship and praise.

New Horizons Worship - Leaving EmptyThe bridge of the song declares that 'I will dance like no one's watching,' expressing the freedom that comes from giving everything to Jesus. The song concludes with a final declaration that Jesus is worthy of it all.

'Leaving Empty' is a powerful and uplifting worship song that encourages listeners to give everything to Jesus and worship Him with radical abandonment. The lyrics are passionate and heartfelt, and the song is sure to inspire listeners to worship Jesus in a deeper way. I highly recommend giving this song a listen, and allowing it to stir up radical surrender and worship in your heart.

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...
