Andrew Macdonald's 'Let Me Be Last' - A Song of Humility and Divine Love


"Let Me Be Last," Andrew Macdonald's newest song, is a beautiful reminder of how important it is to seek God's approval in everything we do and not just focus on our accomplishments in this world. While Andrew was in church, the hymn "Open My Eyes" moved him and became the trigger that led him to write this song. It is the line "the first shall be last" that we find in Matthew 20:16 that sparked even more reflection and became the key message for this song. 

Andrew Macdonald - Let Me Be LastIn a world that glorifies being first in everything, top of the class, employee of the month, etc., Andrew's song takes a different approach. Andrew encourages us to be humble, kind, and meek, and to place God first. With lines like "Got plenty of riches according to them, but it's my heart that's loved by you," he captures the essence of placing God first. 

"Let Me Be Last" is one of the tracks on Andrew's album, "Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength", an album that is all about placing God above all else, and loving Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. By making God the priority in our lives, we need to learn how to be first in His eyes, not ours or the world's eyes. 

May this song spark a prayer in your heart, a prayer to be humble and seek God's grace in a manner that He is truly first for in your life.

(Related scripture: Matthew 20:16; Micah 6:8; Philippians 2:3)

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...

"Stepp'n In Big Faith" by Colyn Kristopher: Why Faith Moves Before Proof Arrives

What would change if you trusted God with your very next step? (by Jasper Tan) “Stepp’n in Big Faith by Colyn Kristopher is a bouncy, uplifting, and smooth R&B CCM track that wears Colyn’s faith up his sleeves with a powerful declaration of trusting the Lord and persevering in our Faith. Ably produced by Sherwin Gardner, the song brings in a high-energy musical production with an empowering theme.

It cannot be discounted that life often deals us with a bad hand, and we’d just have to roll with the punches. But being resilient amidst adversity helps us get through life’s diff...
