Canyons - Oh, How I Trust You (Album) (CCM)



Canyons - Distant

Canyons have released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) album called 'Oh, How I trust You'.

'Distant' and 'River' are two characteristic songs from the album. An album filled with prayers and moments that many will be able to relate to... Moments and situations when we think that we may not deserve Him by our side, and then realize that He is always there.

'Distant' is an attempt to recall the confusion between overwhelming grief and the precious comforts that meet us in the midst of it. Knowing, as if it were a punch in the chest, that He is always there and you really can not miss it. Knowing that you don't need to ask because He is not far away. He is there by your side when you cry out, sing to the sky, and bring on the drama.

What greater comfort can He give us than knowing that all we have to do is lift our eyes to Him and pray? Have total faith in Him and know that He is a magnificent God! No matter how hopeless or desperate your situation appears, it pales in comparison to His power!


'River' is a song about peace, the kind of peace that can be compared to a river that is always flowing... and there will be plenty more to come... waiting to be yours to immerse yourself in. There is a rescue for the wayward, the wounded, and the weary soul. He is reviving us even as we are breaking. Our Healer is Jesus.

'River' was initially written for two of John and Trisha's friends who needed to know that, and ultimately 'River' became a reminder for their own soul...

We enjoy the songs on this album and believe there are more people that can use these beautiful musical reminders to help heal and tune their soul as well. He is an awesome God, deserving of your trust, and no matter how messed up things may seem... He is there for you.

A message from John and Trisha:

"We’ve written these songs for our local community, and from our personal journeys with Jesus. Some were created as a way for our church to sing and remember as we studied different parts of the Bible. Others were written from some of our best conversations, our worst moments, and a need to make music to process. Our crazy-talented musician friends joined us as we shifted these specific prayers and memories into collaborative celebration and grief. While we didn’t write with a theme in mind, the struggle, choice, and potential joy to trust in Jesus emerged as a through-line of the album.
We hope you love it." - John and Trisha

"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...

"Dancing On Water" by Mary Oz: When grief has no power over Hope

(by Jasper Tan) I have always been a huge admirer of Mary Oz's music. Since the moment I discovered her songs, without fail, I've always made it a point to add them to my playlists. If there was one CCM artist from the Philippines who deserves to be heard on a global scale, then my vote belongs to Mary.  Her latest single, "Dancing On Water" (which is a part of her forthcoming album), is a pure acoustic folk/rock song that talks about breakthroughs from grief. As Mary shares, "Grief can swallow you whole, but it's not a life sentence. The morning will come, and with it, Joy." This is a very empowering statement that seeks to inspire her listeners to take courage, rejoice, leave the sadness behind, and just conquer their fears.  What I love about Mary's songwriting is her deep metaphorical lyricism that makes her songs stand out among the clutter of songs in this age of digital music. You'll definitely know that her songs are very well thought of...

“We Worship You I AM”, Doyin Teru – Worship in Spirit and Truth

"We Worship You I AM" by Doyin Teru is a relatively simple song with a massive vision and message behind it. The song was born in a moment of prayer. In Bolaji Teru's own words: "Few minutes into the prayers, I knelt down on my knees with the consciousness that God is present and must be revered. In a moment, tears began to flow from my eyes as I heard the song in my spirit as if it's being sung by thousands of others. So I joined them to sing the song and right after, took my phone, recorded the song and gradually began to develop and produced it." In other words, this isn't just another worship track; it's an invitation to join in with a heavenly chorus.  The song repeats a few core phrases: "We worship Your Majesty," "We worship Your Royalty," and the declaration, "We worship You, I AM." Instead of crowding the song with many words, it leans on the weight of God's revealed name  —  "I AM," the Etern...
