CCM Worship's debut EP release, "Real Gold Fears No Fire,” contains four original songs, including two new unreleased songs and two previously released singles. Each song was written by City Church Marietta’s Worship Leader, Caroline Fidell, and other collaborating worship songwriters from Atlanta, GA. The title track was inspired by the phrase, “Real gold fears no fire," an enduring expression used by the persecuted Church as a testimony of encouragement and comfort to one another while in the midst of suffering. The anchor verse for this song is rooted in 1 Peter 1:6-7, which says, “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” The second new track, “In No Rush,” was born from a prayer for a greater desire to simply be with Jesus, in no hurry to leave His presence. This song’s lyrics stem from Psalm 84, which says, “How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise!…For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.” The heart of “In No Rush” is recognizing that the best place to be is with Jesus, but we must first slow down so we don't miss what He wants to say and do in our lives.
