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...

“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...

'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...
