Luke Garfield - Behold (CCM)

Luke Garfield - Behold
Luke Garfield has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Behold.

Behold is the first single from the album “The Unseen”. The album is a collection of faith centred songs some of which are specifically for a congregational church setting.
“Behold” draws directly from book 21 of Revelation in presenting the beautiful hope of God’s place being with man in the new heaven and earth. This has always been a deeply moving chapter for me.

Luke shares: "I remember completely breaking up as I read these beautiful words in a group devotional I was leading. Someone came up afterwards to ask if I had stuff going on and I laughed and said “No mate, those words are just so beautiful and encouraging”.
For me Behold is about the only true “happily ever after” at the end of the story and I’m excited to be releasing it as the first song from this album.
“The Unseen” album has been strongly influenced by the work of Dr Michael S Heiser, particularly his book “The Unseen Realm”. Major ideas in this work include human worth as those made in the image of God, a loving Father’s mission over millennia to be reunited with his human family and the depth and fullness of Christ’s finished work.
When I write music for a church setting or music in general, the themes and ideas have to be authentic to me personally. I have to feel honest singing them. In a church setting, the challenge is to convey those deep lyric concepts in a musically accessible way. But when people talk to me about these songs I am always reminded that the beautiful thing about lyrics is that everyone has their own unique revelation when they hear and sing it."


Lyrics:

Verse 1
He will wipe away every tear from our eyes
Mourning shall be no more, no reasons to cry
Death will be unwritten, there'll be no more pain
For the things we knew in this life will pass away

Chorus 1
Behold, I am making all things new
Behold, you are home and I'm with you
Behold, I am making all things new
Behold, you are home and I'm with you

Verse 2
And as we stand in that glorious place
The past won't pass through those open gates
It is done! The beginning and the end
Into the joy of your Father, enter in

Chorus 2
Behold, I am making all things new
Behold, you are home and I'm with you
Behold, I am making all things new
Behold, you are home and I'm with you
Behold! Behold! Behold!
Behold! Behold! Behold!

Bridge
What we suffer now cannot even compare
To the glory revealed to us when we stand there
What we suffer now cannot even compare
To the glory revealed to us when we stand there

Chorus 3
Behold, I am making all things new
Behold, you are home and I'm with you
Behold, I am making all things new
Behold, you are home and I'm with you
Behold! Behold! Behold!
Behold! Behold! Behold!

"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...

“We Worship You I AM”, Doyin Teru – Worship in Spirit and Truth

"We Worship You I AM" by Doyin Teru is a relatively simple song with a massive vision and message behind it. The song was born in a moment of prayer. In Bolaji Teru's own words: "Few minutes into the prayers, I knelt down on my knees with the consciousness that God is present and must be revered. In a moment, tears began to flow from my eyes as I heard the song in my spirit as if it's being sung by thousands of others. So I joined them to sing the song and right after, took my phone, recorded the song and gradually began to develop and produced it." In other words, this isn't just another worship track; it's an invitation to join in with a heavenly chorus.  The song repeats a few core phrases: "We worship Your Majesty," "We worship Your Royalty," and the declaration, "We worship You, I AM." Instead of crowding the song with many words, it leans on the weight of God's revealed name  —  "I AM," the Etern...

"Dancing On Water" by Mary Oz: When grief has no power over Hope

(by Jasper Tan) I have always been a huge admirer of Mary Oz's music. Since the moment I discovered her songs, without fail, I've always made it a point to add them to my playlists. If there was one CCM artist from the Philippines who deserves to be heard on a global scale, then my vote belongs to Mary.  Her latest single, "Dancing On Water" (which is a part of her forthcoming album), is a pure acoustic folk/rock song that talks about breakthroughs from grief. As Mary shares, "Grief can swallow you whole, but it's not a life sentence. The morning will come, and with it, Joy." This is a very empowering statement that seeks to inspire her listeners to take courage, rejoice, leave the sadness behind, and just conquer their fears.  What I love about Mary's songwriting is her deep metaphorical lyricism that makes her songs stand out among the clutter of songs in this age of digital music. You'll definitely know that her songs are very well thought of...
