Zac Adams' "Joy In The Morning" - A Song of Hope and Resilience


Zac Adams released a beautiful cover of "Joy In The Morning". A song that has been incredibly meaningful to Zac and his team. In case you're not so familiar with the song, it's a reminder that even in life's darkest moments of our lives, keep your faith and trust that God will bring joy in the morning. It's a call to keep faith and trust that He is working for our good, even when we don't see it or understand how things will eventually work out for us. 

Zac Adams - Joy In The MorningOne of the reasons why Zac and the team connected with the song is the timing, it "popped-up" right when some of the team were facing personal and spiritual challenges. By performing "Joy in the Morning", the song also helped them get through their challenges, brought healing and a renewed sense of purpose and peace. They hope that this song will bring you that same sense of purpose and draw you closer to God. 

It's lyrics like "If it doesn't make sense right now, it will when it's over," that make the song so relatable. And still, we have a choice… hold onto your faith, accept that God's grace is always present, and that it will bring joy and restoration each morning. 

Zac shared that while they were recording the song, they noticed how singing it together brought such a lightness and energy to the team. It felt as if they were experiencing the joy that this song talks about in real-time! 

That is also what the team wishes for you: that this song will encourage you to hold on and grow your faith, know that God is truly with you, offering His guidance together with His promise that it will bring you joy and restoration in the morning. He's already standing at your door, ready to embrace and bless you… Will you let Him in?

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
