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.

"Set Free" by Kristin Ambuhl: Naming Your Real Enemy

What battle are you really fighting today?   Some enemies wear a smile. Kristin Ambuhl calls this out in her song “Set Free”. The song calls these enemies a “favorite shadow” who’s “throwin’ words like daggers” while “hiding behind your laughter.” This is much more than a person who is being difficult. Kristin wrote this song about the daily spiritual battles we face as believers — battles found in arrogant people, dark influences, and forces that work to pull us away from who God made us to be. Whether it’s small fights or big ones, she’s naming them all.  The song doesn’t stay stuck in the shadows. Kristin declares, “I’ve been set apart, I’ve been set free, from my enemies, against dark powers, rulers, and authorities.” Part of that line echoes Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” W...

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...
