Daniel Mayer - Let Your Light Shine (CCM)



Daniel Mayer - Let Your Light Shine
Daniel Mayer has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'Let Your Light Shine'.

This song is an expression of Daniel's unapologetically Christian faith, breaking into the contemporary Christian music world where he is not afraid to speak what is on his heart and give all of his praise and creativity to God.

'Let Your Light Shine' has a catchy melody and lyrics that remind me of a passage from Matthew 5: 14-16: 'Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.'
Nobody lights a candle and places it underneath a table because the light will be obscured if you do so. To allow the candlelight to shine fully, light the candle, place it on a candlestick, and place it on a table. That candle is lit by God, and it is for us to shine so that all may see. This is the message I also take away from this song.

Daniel, who was born in the Rocky Mountains and raised in the City of Angels, has been playing guitar and singing since the age of seven and has trained and worked as an engineer/producer with leading professionals in New York, Washington D.C., and Florida. Beginning with a snippet of a melody in his head, he layers hip-hop-influenced drum machines/synths over his signature bluesy and psychedelic guitar licks, as well as his distinct alternative rock/pop vocal melodies. Daniel presents himself as a praising poet, giving all the glory to the Lord.

"Hiding Place (Live)" by DBU Chapel Worship: Forgiven, Covered, and Free

How often do you hear worship songs being sung live in the comforts of your day-to-day living? For sure, there are a dime a dozen. Some you commonly share with the person next to you, featuring songs by popular Christian Artists. But there's a certain form of unique sincerity when one discovers a worship song that is yet to break through to a larger audience. This is how the song "Hiding Place" by DBU Chapel Worship featuring Olivia-Grace McKern felt like when I first listened to the song. It felt like a new testimony being told, of one's dedication to find God and remain in his presence.  Taking root from Psalm 32, the song is a collaboration of Olivia with a host of songwriters from the DBU Chapel Worship. Enriching her experience as a songwriter and moving her through the songwriting process. In perhaps a reflection of what the song eventually became, it wasn't so that Olivia conveniently hid behind the DBU Chapel Worship songwriters/musicians. This song is a c...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
