Chris, I need you to know that your music helped me through one of the most depressing times in my life. Your honest and raw lyrics just speak to me so much more than the most popular Christian hits. I’ve never cried to music before until i listened to yours, and that’s huge!! It spoke to me as if God was speaking to me through you. Please continue to encourage people with your amazing messages and talents. You are doing God’s work and it is so very good!! This went on my playlist as soon as I heard the first verse ❤️
His music has been a major impact in my walk with God. In the midst of confusion, sin, and struggle, its like i can feel the Holy Spirit really using this music to speak to God's children. Chris definitely has a different style than the more known Christian artists and is very underrated
"My heart is still caught in the reeds" Through terrible circumstances Moses was left to drift down the Nile among the reeds. Though the enemy through Pharaoh sought to kill him, God's plans were to give him a future and a hope. A broken world set Moses among the reeds, but a loving Father guided him into a new life within which he was able to find life and accomplish miraculous and wonderful things.
How often the trauma and pains of our past keep us from trusting in the healer. I hear this artist's heart in this song. Wanting to believe in a God of miracles, in a God that wants him and chooses him but being held back by deep hurts that keep him from that true intimacy with the Father. I pray for us that we know that though pains of our past may have caused the destruction of the life that we hoped for and deserved, that our loving Father yet has for us a future and a restoration.
I wanted to share that the Bible says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. And because we all have sinned against a Holy God, we are all worthy of His just and eternal wrath. But God, being rich in mercy, took on flesh and lived 33 years; a sinless life. He then willingly laid down His life and took it up again three days later and whoever will repent and believe in him will be saved.
I love how transparent and honest Chris Renzema music is. It’s exactly how we should approach God and speak to Him. The book of Psalms is clear that many people were blood honest and RAW with the LORD when praying to Him.
Everything about the music you write and the parallels you make to the bible characters is encouraging because what you go through, what Moses has gone through, what others have gone through and myself too proves that we are all alike and despite all the miracles and blessings God added to our lives it's all the very reason why He sent Jesus. Thank you for sharing your talents and staying steadfast. It's a hard but joyful walk even when caught in the reeds.
Wow. I felt this sudden urge to pull up RUclips just five minutes ago and listen to “Jacob” or something like that, only to find this song released at the exact same moment. It truly blessed my soul. Can’t wait for more of these character-inspired songs! Great job, Chris!
I saw a burning bush A flaming silhouette in the night If I'm standing on holy ground I'm living on borrowed time You said I am who I am I was your boat in the Nile All I know is there's blood on my hands Just that rivers bastard child Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh I talked to God like a friend And still doubted Him Saw the oceans split wide And still wondered why I still find it so hard to believe And why my heart still gets caught in those reeds I've seen signs and wonders Things that I can't understand So why do I keep on doubting That You're my promised land? You have been bread in the desert You've been water from the rock So why's it so hard to believe that That Your love never stops? Talked to God like a friend And still doubted Him Saw the oceans split wide And still wondered why I still find it so hard to believe And why my heart still gets caught in those reeds Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh My heart's been caught in the reeds I've been living waist deep my whole life But Your word, it has split seas It sets captives free And I wanna live in that light I wanna live in Your light My heart's been caught in the reeds I've been living waist deep my whole life Your word it has split seas It sets captives free And I wanna live in that light I wanna live in Your light Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Songwriters: Chris Renzema.

Draws truth deep from the well... so applicable for so many. Thank you and may God bless all who hear this. I needed this more than you’ll know Chris Renzema! Fast becoming a fan of your work that allows me to draw close to God. Stirs my spirit to bask in the light of His eternal love. ❤️❤️❤️
Keep it up Chris! Your music reminds me of what Christ said when He said “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth!” John 4:24. May we all learn to be as real with the Lord as you are in song!
today Jesus has a new name; HE's Almighty God, wrote a new word. praise. love ALMIGHTY GOD, WORSHIP n LOVE we r g3 different ppl,, but we have the spirit of christ
If I had to compare a band that is identical to Chris, it would be Rend Collective. They sound very much alike and both also praise God in their lives. Thank you for all that you do and may God bless you and those who you are around. 😇🙏
I’d say that Chris is making a statement about who Moses was, a bastard being a child who grew up without his biological Father, as we know was the case for Moses due to being sent down the nile...But I’d say Chris was also making a spiritual connection with himself as well. For we are all helpless apart from our Heavenly Father! Chris just being RAW like always.

You know every time I listen to his song 17 I cry. Every. Time.

He’s singing to himself. Putting words to our feelings

I saw a burning bush
A flaming silhouette in the night
If I'm standing on holy ground
I'm living on borrowed time
You said I am who I am
I was your boat in the Nile
All I know is there's blood on my hands
Just that rivers bastard child
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
I talked to God like a friend
And still doubted Him
Saw the oceans split wide
And still wondered why
I still find it so hard to believe
And why my heart still gets caught in those reeds
I've seen signs and wonders
Things that I can't understand
So why do I keep on doubting
That You're my promised land?
You have been bread in the desert
You've been water from the rock
So why's it so hard to believe that
That Your love never stops?
Talked to God like a friend
And still doubted Him
Saw the oceans split wide
And still wondered why
I still find it so hard to believe
And why my heart still gets caught in those reeds
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
My heart's been caught in the reeds
I've been living waist deep my whole life
But Your word, it has split seas
It sets captives free
And I wanna live in that light
I wanna live in Your light
My heart's been caught in the reeds
I've been living waist deep my whole life
Your word it has split seas
It sets captives free
And I wanna live in that light
I wanna live in Your light
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh

I love that its all about each books story with a reflexing gace to Gods revelation of the story
