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!

'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.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? 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...

Brandon Lake - Praise You Anywhere (CCM)

'Praise You Anywhere' by Brandon Lake is a powerful anthem that encourages us to turn to praise in every season of life. No matter the circumstances we face, choosing to praise God will shift our perspective and ignite faith within us. The lyrics of the song remind us that in the midst of darkness, fire, and challenges, we can dance, sing, and praise God. We are called to worship even when it doesn't make sense and to boldly face the giants that stand before us. The song emphasizes the power of praising God in the highest, acknowledging His worthiness of all our praise. Brandon Lake's heartfelt message resonates with the reality that there are times when we find ourselves in prisons and battles.

"The Christ" by NewSpring Worship: Answering the Call to Confess

NewSpring Worship's new release, called "The Christ", invites us to answer Jesus' timeless question: "Who do you say that I am?" The song takes us to the scene of Mark 8:29, where Jesus and His disciples were on their way to Caesarea Philippi, and He asked His disciples: "Who do men say that I am?" After the disciples answered, Jesus turned the question around and made it personal… He asked them: "But what about you? Who do you say I am?' Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah.'" Tom, one of the members of NewSpring Worship shared: "… we want that to be a confession of every individual in our church and outside of our church. And we want that to be a confession of everybody." That's the heart of the song. Ask yourself, if you had been there together with the other disciples on that road with Jesus, what would your answer be to His question, "Who do you say that I am?" With this song, you have the oppor...
