"Let the Truth" by Presence Music Band: A Song for the Real, the Broken, and the Honest


It's so easy to meet someone with a smile plastered on and pretend everything's fine, e.g., when you walk into church. A complex mask to prevent questions and hold up appearances, both in faith and life. Presence Music Band gets it. They were seeing so many people who seemingly have everything all figured out, while they personally felt that they were often falling short. How is that possible? Is it real, or is it an act?

Presence Music Band - Let the TruthWe are under so much pressure to look perfect. Model citizens, model families, model parents, model students, model Christians… How can you keep up? This song is a beautiful invitation to drop the act. It acknowledges that we can "fool so many" with a smile while our "heart is heavy." Not everyone has the talent (or time) to see beyond our fake masks! That mask is hurting us, and it's sending the wrong message to others!

This song asks the question, "But what if we removed the masks and breathed?" A question that reminds us that beneath the surface, we're likely all "stuck in the same boat," wrestling with our own challenges and (hopefully) crying out to God for help. "We were never made to walk alone," encouraging us to share our struggles and embrace God's grace together. 

May this song remind you that it is okay to be real! God tells us to come as we are, and if that is fine for God, why should we insist otherwise from friends, family, others in church… or ourselves? If you've ever felt like you're the only one barely holding on, press play. You'll find you're not alone.

"All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away." - John 6:37

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...
