Maria Bencic - The king is coming


Maria Bencic has released a song in the style of ancient Hebrew songs called "The king is coming". The song is about the parable about the ten virgins.  

The lyrics are simple and clear: 

"I take my lamp 
I take my oil 
my feet is bare 
well I dont care, 
when the king is coming, 
I must be there 
I must prepare"

The song has an ancient classical orchestra sound surprisingly combined with a modern gospel pop sound, decorated with majestic parade instruments.  

Inspired by the parable of the 10 virgins, Maria explains the story behind the song: 
”If your beloved who you had not met in many years, who traveled away to a faraway country but promised to one day return to you, suddenly would appear outside your house in the middle of the dark night calling your name, would you get up from your bed with a yawn, shower, dress yourself decently and eat a meal before you would go out to greet him?  
Or... would you jump out of bed like it was on fire with glowing flames of love! Run out with only your nightgown on and with a fast-beating heart that does not even allow you to waste time to put on your shoes."

"Just Like You" by Senora Boyd: Chasing Christ Above All Else

What does it really mean to be transformed? Senora Boyd answers that question boldly in her Christian Rock/Pop anthem, "Just Like You" — and the answer might surprise you.  Less than a year before meeting her now-husband, "notlouwee!", and connecting with Billboard-charting producer "I Project", Boyd's life was looking completely different compared to where she is today. Her desires shifted, her priorities became centered on God, and the way she created music changed, together with her faith. We're talking about a full reset! What started out as a new spiritual journey quickly grew into a creative movement. Together with notlouwee! and I Project, she recorded nine songs within seven months. "Just Like You" is Boyd's fourth release, and it may be her most personal release yet.  The song is a raw, faith-filled confession. Lines like "Strip away my sin, I feel like a criminal" and "I was lost, running from the truth"...

"Soon and Very Soon" by Robby Robinson: Why This Classic Still Hits Like the First Time

What if one song could carry the weight of every hardship you've ever faced, and still leave you smiling? That's exactly what Andraé Crouch accomplished in 1978 when he wrote "Soon and Very Soon," and this new recording by Robby Robinson, Tony Galla, and Ray Reynolds makes sure you feel every bit of it.  The song is based on Revelation 21:3–4, reminding us of what's coming: no more crying, no more dying, just the glorious moment we finally see the King. Simple words, but it carries a profound promise.  Crouch was honest about the journey. There are "rivers we must cross" and "mountains we must climb." He emphasizes the truth that faith doesn't erase our struggles — it sustains us through them. God, as the lyrics remind us, will "supply all the strength that we need."   Featuring powerhouse vocalists Tony Galla and Ray Reynolds, Robinson blends this classic gospel energy with a rich, Hammond-organ-driven groove. Rather than a slow...
