Apryl Dawn - The Banquet (CCM)


Apryl Dawn's CCM song, 'The Banquet,' draws inspiration from the parable of the great banquet in Luke 14. The song beautifully captures the essence of God's abundant mercy and grace, inviting the unworthy, the lame, and the poor to partake in His feast.

The lyrics vividly paint the picture of the King extending His invitation to the guests, only to be rejected by those who were initially invited. However, the King's heart overflows with compassion, and with a smile on His face, He instructs His servant to bring in the marginalized and overlooked individuals.

Apryl Dawn - The BanquetThe song celebrates the transformative power of God's grace, emphasizing that no one is beyond His mercy. It encourages all, regardless of their flaws and mistakes, to partake in the banquet of God's love and be made whole. The call to bring the lame and the poor signifies God's desire to fill His banquet hall with those who may not feel worthy but are welcomed with open arms.

The powerful bridge acknowledges the awe and humility of those who are embraced by God's love and mercy. It echoes the sentiment that His grace knows no bounds and leaves a profound impact on those who accept His invitation.

In 'The Banquet,' Apryl Dawn masterfully captures the essence of the parable, infusing it with an uplifting and inspirational melody that echoes God's boundless love and inclusive nature. The song serves as a reminder of the beauty of God's mercy and His desire to embrace all who come to Him with open hearts.

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"What A Savior" by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship: Never Growing Numb to Grace

Have you ever grown numb to a miracle?  “What A Savior” by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship began as a chorus in a co-write, before it took on a life of its own. Will & Jacinta wanted something rich and almost hymn-like, a bold declaration of who Jesus is — not a tired restatement, but a fresh look. They never wanted to grow “used to” what Jesus accomplished, so they wrote about holding on to Him in every season, regardless of whether it’s calm or chaotic.  The opening lines start with the redemption through Jesus’ blood: “The precious fount, that cleansing flow, the Son of God poured out for all.” That’s the blood that Jesus spilled for you. The song moves from the cleansing through His blood to the result: “The debt I owed and all sin’s claims were buried with You in the grave.” Your debt. Buried. Gone.  Here’s where it gets even more personal. Romans 5:8 says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...
