Did she just say Rascal Flatts? Yes, she did. You are either saying to yourself, “Wow, that’s cool!” or you’re asking, “Why is Shine.FM playing Rascal Flatts?”
This weekend Shine.FM added the new song from country mega-group Rascal Flatts, Changed. No, the New Shine.FM is not going country. Over the years many country songs have crossed formats and ending up in mainstream pop/rock radio and even Christian radio. There was a time when Shine played “Jesus Take The Wheel” by Carrie Underwood.
So, why would we do something like that?
First, I think this song is amazing. Just read these lyrics:
I came up out of the water
Raise my hands up to the Father
Gave it all to Him that day
Felt a new wind kiss my face
Walked away, Eyes wide open
Could finally see where I was goin’
It didn’t matter where I been
I’m not the same man I was then.
I got off track, I made mistakes
Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost
Lines get crossed
And the pain won’t go away
I hit my knees, Now here I stand
There I was, now here
I am
Here I am
Changed
I got a lot of “hey I’m sorry’s”
The things I’ve done, man that was not me
I wish I could take it all back
I just want to tell ’em that
Tell ’em that
I’ve changed for the better
More Smiles, that’s better
I even started to forgive myself
I hit my knees, I’m here, I stand
There I was, now here I am
Here I am, Here I am
I’m changed
Yes, I am
I’m changed for the better
Thank God, I’m changed.
Wow! What a message in those words.
I also know that the members of Rascal Flatts are believers. Member Jay DeMarcus was a member of the Christian band East to West.
