Sometimes the hardest word to embrace is “change.” We cling to old habits, familiar paths, even when they’ve led us into brokenness. Rare of Breed’s song Change is a raw and honest anthem about surrender — about letting go of the life we thought we wanted and opening our hearts to the transformation God offers.
Rare of Breed, born Rob Hardin in North Carolina, knows this message firsthand. His journey took him from foster care and troubled teenage years into a radical encounter with Christ that reshaped his life. Out of that redemption came his unique “GodTwang” style — a blend of hip-hop and country that speaks to both the streets and the backroads.
The chorus asks, “Will you give it all away? Will you let go of the life you thought you wanted in the first place?” That’s the heart of discipleship. Jesus Himself said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Rare of Breed echoes that call — not to a half-hearted adjustment, but to a radical surrender that reshapes everything.
In my own testimony, I’ve seen how surrender brings freedom. There were times when I resisted God’s leading, afraid of what I might lose. But the Word reminded me: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). That verse isn’t just poetry; it’s reality. Rare of Breed’s Change captures that moment when the old life is laid down and the new one begins to rise.
This song also challenges us to reflect on the cost of transformation. Paul writes: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). That’s not easy — it means letting go of comfort zones, friendships, and even identities we’ve built apart from Christ. But it’s worth it, because true change brings peace, purpose, and eternal hope.
Change is more than music; it’s a call to action. It asks us to stop delaying, to stop waiting for a better time, and to step into the life God is offering now. Transformation doesn’t happen by accident — it happens when we surrender, when we open our hearts and let Him in.
Rare of Breed’s powerful single Change, from the album GodTwang 4: Redemption, is a heartfelt anthem of surrender and transformation — reminding us that real change comes when we lay down our old life and embrace the new creation in Christ.
