Let All Redeemed

(Stanley Chris)

The death of Christ on the Cross ushered us into liberty from the bondage of sin. The icing on the cake is that His ministry didn't end there; He lives on as our High Priest before the Father, interceding for us daily in order that He may present us to God blameless on the last day (1 Thessalonians 5:23). What a Gospel, one so glorious that He has entrusted us to take its message to those in our worlds so that they too can receive the blessings of its truth; to bring them home to love, faith and hope, the three eternal principles of the Kingdom (1 Corinthians 13:13). The other mind-blowing reality of this is that we have been raised with Christ to a position of authority where we rule in victory in His Name (Ephesians 2:4-6). These are the themes expressed in this song, and the Bridge invites all to bring high praise to the risen King who brought us back to God, and defeated man's greatest fear: the sting of deaths.

VERSE 1:
Lamb for our sins
On the old rugged tree
Now we are free to walk in victory

VERSE 2:
Faithful High Priest 
For the ones who believe 
Able to keep us standing on our feet 

CHORUS:
We're called from the dark 
And born into light 
To shine His magnificence

We're raised from the dust 
And seated on high 
To rule with Omnipotence 

VERSE 3:
Sent to the lost
To declare of the Cross
Bringing them home to love and faith and hope

BRIDGE:
Let all redeemed
All hail the King of kings
Who brought us near 

With joy and glee
All praises bring to Him
Who broke the sting

New Rules

By Stanley Chris

Times come when relationships go through turbulence of one form or another. Such are the flames which test the strength of our commitment to each other. This is the case in this song; the two lovers have just come out of a serious disagreement "so bruised." From it, the girl has come up with a lot of new rules; adjustments she wants the two of them to make, which are bound to turn the tables and rearrange their whole life. Earlier on she had said she was comfortable with the man calling the shots; now, with the changes she's proposing, her actions beg the question: was she really honest with herself when she settled for the way things have been? Among them, she wants them to stay low key, especially on social media, yet she wasn't as loud as the guy was. She also doesn't want him to tell her what to do, but had earlier said she wanted him to guide her, given he's older and has a lot more experience with relationships. She is also not comfortable with them going for hang outs at the guy's brother's place, where she had been comfortable before. Beside all that, she requires much more attention, raising issues with the guy being online and not talking with her, while he's there trying to find a job, which is something she had been pushing to do. Now she's left him "fears for the trust" he had before. What are her intentions? Is she putting one leg out? Or is she just taking it slow?

Irony

By Stanley Chris

Communication is one of the biggest challenges couples face. Most of the fatal issues that end up burying relationships are things that'd have been easily solved by a few minutes of honest conversation. That is the dilemma the persona in this song finds himself grappling with. In Verse 1 he alludes to the fact that the lover reacts quite negatively when they have arguments. He likes to pour his heart out, and says he doesn't want to measure his words. They had agreed to be brutally frank with each other should matters arise, yet when he uses that latitude to express himself, the other gets offended most times. In Verse 2 the same thought is followed up: she prefers to solve problems using parables and indirect references, forcing him to read between her lines to figure out what she's trying to say, and that often adds salt to the injury, when he finds himself unable to get her. The Chorus is a heavy confession: she puts him between a rock and a hard place, trying to choose between her fragile feelings and the naked truth. If it's all about protecting her from the hurt, then he loses his voice in situations where the truth would inevitably destroy her. The Bridge further intensifies the drama, buttressing the apparent irony in her actions. She's afraid to face the truth, and is conservative with it when it comes to her turn to speak.

Future

By Stanley Chris

The song is about songwriting. The art is personified as a woman who the persona is madly in love with. He had earlier on just finished writing a 10th album, which he says "is sounding right." Now it's onto the 11th, and it's "time to focus on the rhymes" since "we got just one short life." Because time is passing by, despite the many songs "they" have written together, they are determined to write even more, stockpiling them for the future. "The past is gone and will never be again," and "all we have is the here and now," a moment which might easily be missed if it's not seized. "There's nothing left to do," and "nothing else to do," let's us know that he has abandoned himself to his art, and finds the meaning of his existence in it. Verse 2 is a romantic description of his love for the art. He has "never seen a girl with such fire in her eyes," and she makes him lose his focus when she smiles. Songwriting has taken him to heights he never dreamt he would find, and opened up to him a whole different dimension full of nothing but pure bliss. It's a craft he finds tremendous fulfillment from; the best way he thinks he can spend his "one short life."

Memento Mori

By Stanley Chris

Steve Jobs said, "Your time is limited; don't waste it living someone else's life," and that is the heart and message of this song. We often get caught up in the motions of life and forget that our days on earth are numbered; even if one had a thousand years, they'd still come to an end. Many people tiptoe through life, hoping to make it safely to death, as one philosopher put it. We have people trapped in jobs they don't like, living lives they hate, and they feel like there is no way out of their misery; they have become so enslaved by society that they have forgotten about the dreams they once nurtured in their hearts when they had the liberty of mind to fantasize and explore the world of their imagination. The song is a reminder that each of us has a purpose to fulfill during our short stay on this side of eternity. It speaks of the fleeting nature of time, and challenges us in the Bridge to cut loose from the crowd, dare out into the unknown and chase the visions we hear calling out to us beyond.

Love isn't fair

By Howard Aronson

Love isn't fair is about exactly what the title says. Love doesn't care about you, or your feelings, it just exists in a weird realm of our brain. I mean can you touch love, can you show it to me in a picture, it's a feeling and I still know that sometimes it's misguided. There are certainly times when I know that I'm in a relationship and it was just for lust even though I thought it was love and vice versa. It's our nature to want love so badly, that we stay in these types of relationships much longer than we should. And even when you leave it, the feelings that you had don't go away. You want to reminisce, and keep going down that road of looking back and saying why didn't it work I did all, these nice things, didn't she appreciate it, what more could I have done? There are no real answers to these questions, they're just things that you have to accept in life.

Adieu

By Sherab Lhamo

A song in which love is compared to fighting a losing battle. War here is the relationship while the battles are the feelings. It’s when you do everything you can and realize there’s nothing left to give. So you accept defeat and bid farewell

Dear Storm

By Karianne Gabaldon

A lyric about facing your toughest storm and begging for mercy; you cannot fight this fight anymore, so you’re giving up—throwing in the towel. You just want this heavy storm to pass.
