"Silent Night" by Tammie Lecque: A Modern Take on a Timeless Classic


Tammie Lecque releases a soulful rendition of "Silent Night," and we're confident that you not only enjoy listening but also love to know how this rendition came together. The inspiration for this rendition started under the shower. Tammie was doing some vocal warm-ups and playfully started to include little bits of Christmas music. The melody stuck in her head and continued to shape as she was making dinner and during her drive to work. 

Tammie Lecque - Silent NightThis creative process brought Tammie back to her roots. Rooted in her family's a cappella tradition as "The Bellamy Spiritual" (that was founded by her grandfather Pastor Chavis Bellamy) and inspired by various genres, such as jazz and soul, Tammie's rendition of 'Silent Night' brings a fresh, soulful take to this beloved classic. The lyrics remind us of that holy night where "all is calm, all is bright" as the tender infant Jesus slept peacefully. The lyrics speak of the shepherds' awe and the heavenly hosts singing "Alleluia," encouraging all of creation to join in this heavenly praise. 

Tammie's heartfelt rendition captures these timeless messages, messages that inspire and move people, encouraging us to reflect His love & light and look forward to the dawn of His redeeming grace. May Tammie's rendition of Silent Night remind you of the peace and wonder that Christmas brings into our everyday lives, and encourage you to spread some of His peace to the people around you.

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...

"Send Me an Angel" by Josh Orange: Grace for the Struggle at 5 AM

What if help is one honest word away? Josh Orange, a folk-rock group from Sydney, Australia, wrote “Send Me an Angel” in about thirty minutes. Structure, lyric, the whole thing arrived at once and became the spark for the band’s sixth studio album. Some prayers work that way. They don’t wait for polish. The song opens at 5 am. A man puts his feet on the floor and asks Jesus, “for the strength to begin.” He doesn’t ask for much. He works for his living, and he isn’t proud of his sins. Then comes the plea: “Come help me Jesus. Send me an angel.” Sound familiar? You’ve tried hard, opened the door, and done it again. Gordon Burke, the lead singer of Josh Orange, sings about running all the way to Nova Scotia, and the further he went, the darker he got. Distance never fixed it. Ask yourself, where have you been running? Listen closely and notice what he never does. He never cleans himself up first. He prays with “blood on my boots,” and he prays honestly. Scripture says that’s the right w...
