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.

'Treasure (Live)' by Taylor Pride: Diving Deeper into Divine Intimacy

As you lean in close, you'll hear something truly special in this live rendition of Taylor Pride's 'Treasure.' Here's a song that breaks bread with your spirit, an earnest plea desiring deeper intimacy with God - and chances are that this is what your heart is also seeking.  Imagine being taught by God Himself, as Taylor asks in his lyrics, 'Teach me your way, O Lord.' Like a piercing heart-to-heart, don't you think? Because don't we all long to know Him more and more?  Pride paints a vivid scene of gazing upon God's beauty, of longing for God - and that's His profound message, isn't it? The desire of the faithful, the treasure we seek, is nothing more than God Himself - His comfort, His safety, His abundance, even in dire times.  Throughout the ups and downs of life, His steadfast presence remains our constant, promising to never run away, even when our hearts hit rock bottom. And it's in those deepest valleys that, if we're sti...

"Holy Flame" by Josh Grove - Talented Young Voice Inspires with Worship

Have you already heard Josh Grove's new song, "Holy Flame"? It's an upbeat worship song written and performed by Josh, and what makes this release even more intriguing is that Josh is a super talented 15-year-old singer-songwriter. He first shared this song at a youth event, and the response was so amazing that he was signed up by NRT. This release is the studio version. The song is all about the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, and celebrates God's constant goodness and grace. The lyrics remind us that He is with us in every moment, day, or night, through both joy and hardship.  With lyrics like "I see You rising like a wave // I see Yo u falling like the rain," Josh emphasizes that we can see God in every situation. He's right there with us through all of our ups and downs, offering us hope and ready to guide us (if we reach out and listen). "You're by my side // Until the end of time." What I also find very exciting is that i...
