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!

"Run There" by Hayden Snook: When Life Overwhelms, Here's Where to Go

What do you do when life feels like too much? When the noise, the pressure, and the emotional weight won't let up? Hayden Snook found his answer — and he wrote it into "Run There."  Born out of a moment of genuine overwhelm, this folk rock track doesn't pretend everything is fine. Instead, Snook leans into the tension. "I may stray, I may move — all those feelings held within me are nothing to Your victory." Our struggles are real, but so is the God who meets us in it.  The lyrics recall some of Scripture's most powerful moments, like David crying out in anguish, the stone rolling away, men standing firm in the face of death. These moments are proof and they give each of us hope that we can build on today. If God showed up then, He'll show up now.  "Run There" is an invitation to trust God. "You may stray, you may move — there's nothing our God can't do." So don't walk… Run to Him! Give "Run There" a listen...

"Heal Me O Lord" by Sandra Lam: Restored by His Wounds

(by Jasper Tan) "Heal Me O Lord" by Sandra Lamb is a powerful, soul-stirring gospel song that touches on themes of faith, surrender, and finding healing in God. The song serves as a heartfelt prayer where Sandra expresses her vulnerability and her moments of weakness and loneliness, and her strong faith to find healing in God in order for her to be restored. Throughout the song, we are taken from a place of struggle to a testimony of Sandra's victory as she declares, "I'm strong and whole again" and "All my pain is gone." This affirms her faith through the healing that she received in Jesus. You can clearly hear the honesty of Sandra as she sings this song with her expressive vocals, which is keenly supported by the music that creates a meditative and uplifting atmosphere. This delivery largely helps us establish an intimate and worshipful tone when listening to the song. It helps us relate to the song more and reflect on our faith and how we are...

"Vine" by Oludee: Fruitfulness Through Surrender

(by Jasper Tan) "Vine" by Oludee is a very beautiful, soulful song that talks about trust, surrender, and putting our Faith in God. What makes this song so beautiful is the musical choice that Oludee chose to produce with the given theme. It's easy listening and soulful, which can be a good song to listen to during our moments of devotion and personal worship with God. The opening lines of the song quickly establish the message that we can't just rely on ourselves in our day-to-day living, but it is important that we learn to recognize God in our lives. By putting our complete trust and faith in Him, we would be able to navigate life's challenges more easily, as we would be experiencing more stability. To know and understand that God is with us, we would not succumb to our hopelessness because we understand that God will always carry us during our times of need. Using Vine as a metaphor, it serves as a symbol of life, nourishment, and protection. This recurring re...
