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.

"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...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
