Rowan Newcomb & Carolyn Cates - Secret Keeper (CCM)


Get ready to be moved by the deeply personal CCM song 'Secret Keeper' by Rowan Newcomb. This heartfelt composition, co-written with Carolyn Cates, delves into the pain of enduring gossip and rejection in a relationship. However, the song's focus is on reconciliation, forgiveness, and finding solace in God as the ultimate confidant.

'Secret Keeper' beautifully captures the emotions of betrayal and the aftermath of having one's privacy exposed. Rowan Newcomb's honest lyrics paint a vivid picture of feeling judged and humiliated, with whispers and snickers following every step. Yet, amidst the hurtful words and the high school drama, Rowan finds strength in turning to God, knowing that their worth lies in Him.

Rowan Newcomb & Carolyn Cates - Secret KeeperThe pre-chorus reminds us that gossip and rumors hold no truth, for our value is rooted in God. It is through this realization that the chorus emerges, with Rowan opening up to God, the true Secret Keeper. In His presence, secrets are safe, wounds are healed, and renewal takes place. Rowan finds comfort in the knowledge that God is a trustworthy confidant who will never betray or expose their vulnerabilities.

As the song progresses, it transitions to a message of reconciliation and friendship. Rowan acknowledges the hazy cloud of blame and shame but longs for open and honest communication to mend their relationship. The power of soothing words and standing together becomes a testament to the strength found in unity and perseverance.

The bridge emphasizes the importance of staying close to one another, even in moments of disagreement. It is in God's guidance and grace that they will find the strength to overcome any obstacles they face. 

I encourage you to listen to 'Secret Keeper' by Rowan Newcomb. Allow yourself to be immersed in the raw emotions conveyed through the lyrics and the heartfelt delivery of the song. Experience the journey of pain, reconciliation, and finding solace in God as the ultimate Secret Keeper. May this song serve as a reminder that God is always there to listen, heal, and guide us through the challenges we face in our relationships.

"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...

"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...

“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...
