Luke Garfield - Hallowed (CCM)

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

Hallowed is the second single from the album The Unseen, a collection of faith-centred songs by Gold Coast songwriter and music producer Luke Garfield.

Garfield is a seasoned songwriter and producer having spent time in Nashville honing his skills recording other artists, as well as continually writing and recording new material at Banana Llama Studios, located on the Gold Coast, Australia.
 
Hallowed started musically as an improvisation during communal worship at Luke’s local church a number of years before.
 
“We were singing a well loved congregational song which has a simple but expressive chord progression. The song lends itself to free worship (improvised singing and expression) and I started to sing what became the chorus of Hallowed. I loved the melody and pacing of the phrases so I tucked it away in my memory thinking I’d like to write a song around it in the future”
“The lyric theme of the song started to take shape whilst driving down the Gold Coast motorway one afternoon. I was inspired by Michael Heiser’s book The Unseen Realm and in particular the idea that God sent Jesus to unite his estranged earthly family to Himself. When Jesus talks about the kingdom coming to earth it’s actually a call to return to our original home and position in creation as God our Father intended.”

One other unique aspect of this release is the synesthetic artwork for Hallowed. It was painted by friend and fellow artist Fear of Flight (Aaron Shipway) who has an amazing gift of seeing the music he hears. Garfield is filming a mini-documentary to explore synesthesia and the music of The Unseen album to be released later in 2022.

Garfield writes music for a wide range of genres, which includes alternative rock, indie electronic, and songs for a church setting. Hallowed has found a regular home as a live worship song in his local church for over 18 months and has been enthusiastically embraced by those who sing it.
 

Lyrics:


Verse 1.
The victory was won
To the joy of the son
Death where is your sting?
We are free, free indeed!
 
Verse 2.
The kingdom is established
Your rule will never perish
The nations can return
Loving Father you’ve called us home
 
Chorus
Your kingdom come
You will be done
Hallowed be your name
Hallowed be your name
 
Verse 3.
The victory was won
To the joy of the son
Death where is your sting?
We are free, free indeed!
 
Refrain
Holy! Holy, Holy, Holy! There is none beside you.
Oh no one like you
Holy! Holy, Holy, Holy! There is none beside you.
Oh no one like you
 
Bridge
You shall return in robes of white
Blinding light across the sky
Our bodies bruised, renewed to life.
The Kingdom comes to meet it’s bride.
You shall return in robes of white
Blinding light across the sky
Our bodies bruised, renewed to life.
The Kingdom comes to meet its bride.

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
