Maria Bencic - Le dodi

Maria Bencic - Le dodi
Maria Bencic releases a unique genre of worship songs with lyrics inspired by the "Song of Songs”. Her latest song 'Le dodi', is a reference to Song of Songs 6:3a.

For centuries, many phrases from King Solomon's Song of Songs have been used at weddings. Maria relates this particular phrase (L'Dodi - or better yet in full: "Ani L’Dodi V’Dodi Li") to her relationship with Christ.

The tones are produced by a single harp. English and Hebrew, together with Maria's old-time singing style, produce a sound that is reminiscent of ancient music.


Lyrics:

Le dodi
Le dodi
Oh Le dodi
My beloved
My lips on your royal feet
Lean my head at your chest
Le dodi
Your royalness makes me shiver
Yeshua of Nazareth
For you and only you I give myself away
Le dodi
Le dodi
Oh le dodi
My beloved
Knees bow low
Heart fly high
Up to him whom my soul loves
Le dodi
Yeshua Ha Mashiach
For I am my beloveds
and my beloved is mine
Le dodi
Le dodi
Yeshua my beloved

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.'

That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Fire Fall" by Joseph Craft - Ignite Your Faith

Joseph Craft's "Fire Fall" is a cry for surrender, a song that invites the Spirit to "set my soul ablaze." The first lines of the song place you before God: "Here in Your presence I stand // Fully surrendered to You." And what is it that Joseph asks? "Spirit awaken inside of me // Invade my heart again." Is this scenario too distant to imagine? God is much closer than many people think! He is only a prayer away… On a bended knee, we invite Him to be part of our lives. "Are you ready to let go of everything holding you back?" That's the big question that kept going through my mind as I listened to this song. This is Joseph Craft's debut release, a song about desiring the fullness of God by sacrificing ourselves completely to Jesus. Joseph wrote, performed, and produced this song himself. You'll love the lyrics, such as "Spirit set my soul ablaze" and "Give me undying desire for all that You are," ...
