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.

'Love Might Not Wait' by Jeff H. Ulrich - A Melodic Invitation to Embrace Divine Redemption

I hear echoes of sacred scripture in Jeff H. Ulrich's 'Love Might Not Wait,' rekindling our connection to the divine and calling our hearts toward eternal love. This song is an enthralling testament to God's love and the promise of His soon return. This song is a call to timely repentance set against timely observations of a world that sees good as evil and light as darkness. Ulrich's lyrics gently implore us: 'Are you captive in time to a world of no meaning? But there is the love that liberates.' It emphasizes God's love as the ultimate liberator, and a beacon calling out to all souls. It's a reminder, like a plea from a kindred spirit, that we are not abandoned to darkness, but are the intended recipients of divine love that gave His Son for us. His love is not an abstract concept; rather, it is a gift steeped in profound sacrifice, as demonstrated by Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Listening to 'Love Might Not Wait' is like being on the
