Inspirational

Contemporary Christian music (CCM), also known as Christian pop, and occasionally inspirational music, is a genre of modern popular music, and an aspect of Christian media, which is lyrically focused on matters related to the Christian faith and stylistically rooted in Christian music. Originating in the United States, it was formed by those affected by the 1960s Jesus movement revival who began to express themselves in other styles of popular music, beyond the church music of hymns, gospel and Southern gospel music that was prevalent in the church at the time. Initially referred to as Jesus music, today, the term is typically used to refer to pop, but also includes rock, alternative rock, hip hop, metal, contemporary worship, punk, hardcore punk, Latin, electronic dance music, R&B-influenced gospel, and country styles.

After originating in the US, it has since become a globally recognized style of popular music. It has representation on several music charts, including Billboard's Christian Albums, Christian Songs, Hot Christian AC (Adult Contemporary), Christian CHR, Soft AC/Inspirational, and Christian Digital Songs as well as the UK's Official Christian & Gospel Albums Chart. Top-selling CCM artists will also appear on the Billboard 200. In the iTunes Store, the genre is represented as part of the Christian and gospel genre while the Google Play Music system labels it as Christian/Gospel. CCM sets itself apart due to its versatile sound profile and accessibility. Its range of expression, from soft ballads to rock-infused anthems and content that goes beyond just worship to dealing with personal struggles and societal issues, is what makes it both compelling and relatable to a diverse listener base.

If we’ll turn our back on wrath and sin
We’ll have that map, that map within

On Repeat

We work for pay and a wage
We weren't made for a cage
We're saved by grace thru faith
The choice, of course, is yours to make

He died and rose from the grave
That our soul might be saved
He'll take His bride with Him
So give your life to Him

Before it's too late to start a new page
His plan for you's great, so don't wait
He waits at the gate, so don't hesitate
Only He, can fix the mess you made

This was predicted -- by prophets n sages
Choose His free gift -- or take your wages
Sand may shift -- but not, the Rock of Ages
God's plan, seems a bit -- outrageous

He calmed the sea and waves
Only by faith can we be saved
We're saved by grace thru faith
The choice is yours to make

He died and rose from the grave
That our soul might be saved
He'll take His bride with Him
So give your life to Him

Before it's too late to start a new page
His plan for you's great, so don't wait
He waits at the gate, so don't hesitate
Only He, can fix the mess you made

Be brave and courageous, it's a bit outrageous
Choose His free gift -- or take your wages
Sand may shift -- but not, the Rock of Ages
God's plan, seems a bit -- outrageous

Admit your sin n break free of your cage
Accept His free gift -- or take your wage
The choice, of course, is yours to make
Only He, can fix the mess you made

The choice, I guess, is on your shoulders now
Every tongue will confess, every knee will bow
Take your wage, and live like a refugee
Stay in your cage, or let Him set you free

It ain't too late to start a new page
His plan for you's great, so don't wait
He waits at the gate, so don't hesitate
Only Heee, can fix the mess you made
