Cyber Chord - "On That Glorious Day": A Hope-Filled Reunion


"On That Glorious Day" by Cyber Chord is a ballad about the enduring power of love and our hope to be welcomed "home" and reunited one day with loved ones who have passed away. The song starts with so much warmth in the melody (such a professional sound), that it took a few moments before I realized its message. And it wasn't until I reviewed the details behind the song that I realized that the song is AI-generated. That fact doesn't change anything about the beautiful message of hope in the lyrics, but it may trigger some mixed feelings of loss when you realize how easy this cutting-edge technology is already able to replace some of our God-given human talents. 

Cyber Chord - On That Glorious DayThe lyrics tell the story of a loved one's passing and the grief that follows. It beautifully gives words to the bittersweet emotion of losing a loved one, and at the same time it offers a message of comfort, hope, and faith. As a Christian, I cherish this promise of a heavenly paradise, where tears will be wiped away and we will be reunited with loved ones. It's lyrics like "Crystal rivers are shining" and "Angels singing, 'Welcome home'" that gave that extra nudge that felt like a lump in my throat.

The song "On That Glorious Day" is a song that gives comfort and reassurance and is a valuable reminder that even in the face of loss, we may know that love will endure and that we may count on His promises. 

May this song encourage you to hold onto your faith, cherish it, nurture it, grow your faith in God, and trust that one day you will be reunited with your loved ones in heaven.

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
