Hanno Herbst's 'Shine on Jerusalem' - An Anthem for Unity and Peace


Hanno Herbst - Shine on Jerusalem

It has been said, 'Where words fail, music speaks,' and Hanno Herbst's 'Shine on Jerusalem' is a testament to this truth. This fine piece of music soars above linguistic boundaries, carrying a luminous message of peace. It is so much more than just a song; it’s an anti-war hymn for all humanity. Its lyrics peel back the worldly layers of strife and conflict, revealing at the core a radiant beacon of hope.

'Shine on Jerusalem' speaks to our collective longing for unity, a unity embodied in the symbolic heart of the song—'Jerusalem'. 'Jerusalem' represents not just a geographical place, but a spiritual locus of mutual respect, tolerance, love, forgiveness, and above all, unity. Crafted with an orchestra's symphonic richness and modern rhythms, the song captures the harmony that is not just a dream, but an attainable reality.

The power of unity is interwoven into the very genesis of the song itself. Majestic classical voices seamlessly blend with ebullient pop tones, echoing the delightful diversity we treasure in humanity. 'Shine on Jerusalem' is more than just an auditory journey; it's a call to action—a call for us all to build a harmonious, sustainable future together.

We encourage you to experience Hanno Herbst's uplifting anthem. Let's help 'Shine on Jerusalem' resonate further, touching more hearts, sparking more minds, and inspiring more souls. Together in faith and song, we can illuminate the path forward.

"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...
