'Pieces' by Bennie Parker - A Song of Restoration and Hope


As you listen to Bennie Parker's song 'Pieces,' you will probably realize that we've all felt broken at some point in time. A song that echo's the struggles, doubts, and desire for change and growth that we've all felt. We've been there before - feeling more lost than found and trying to keep everything together.

Bennie Parker - PiecesDoesn't it feel comforting to know that we're not alone in this mess? Bennie sings that Jesus is a friend in the darkness, whispering words of peace. It's not just Bennie's story, it's also ours. That brokenness you feel? It's not the end. In fact, it's the start of something beautiful, because Jesus promises that He will take our pieces and put us back together again. Nope, this isn't a nursery rhyme or a bedtime story we share with our children. It's a promise that many people, like Bennie, have already experienced in their lives.

'Save my soul. Fill the hole,' lyrics that are echoed in every believer's heart, because deep down inside, we all long for a completeness that only Jesus can bring. Bennie calls us to let go of the struggle and let Jesus step in, because He can pick up our pieces and turn them into something beautiful.

Bennie asks: 'Is there hope for me? A boat for me to reach the final shore?' We already know the answer in our hearts: a resounding 'Yes!' Believing that Jesus is here, ready to guide us to safety and make us whole. It doesn't matter how broken we feel, God's gift of forgiveness, healing, and transformation is already available for us.

Go ahead and listen. Remember, His forgiveness is there for YOU! All it takes is to reach out and humbly accept His gift of forgiveness.

"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...
