"Come to Your Throne (Live)" by Arcadia Worship: Honest Prayers, Restored Hearts


"Come to Your Throne (Live)" by Arcadia Worship is both a confession and a surrender. It's an invitation for the Spirit to break through our hardness and make us whole again. The song was written from a place of struggling between guilt and grace. 

The song starts with a prayerful confession, "Honestly, I come to Your throne." God makes it clear that we may come as we are, without polished prayers, and with all of our faults and imperfections. God asks us to come to Him with an honest heart. 

Arcadia Worship - Come to Your Throne (Live)This musical prayer continues with, "Shatter this heart I have of stone." Yes, we may admit our brokenness to God. But instead of feeling despair, we may know that each confession brings us closer to healing. We may ask Him: "Create a pure heart in me, God." Haven't we all needed that same prayer at some point in our lives? 

What I love about this song is its invitation. It's an invitation to really see God, not as a distant God, but to see God as "relentless with [His] love," eager to fill the empty parts of our lives and restore that which is broken. Most of all, this song teaches us that wholeness (healing) is found when we let go and allow the Spirit to do what only He can do. So, go ahead and listen closely. May these lyrics meet you where you are and then lead you to His throne, where you are truly welcome.

"The Perfect Man" by Kaylyn Sahs: Finding the Only One Who Never Fails

(by Jasper Tan) “The Perfect Man” is a very beautiful love song by Kaylyn Sahs. I’ve never heard such a beautiful love song written for Jesus that is very relatable, and that truly defines how it is to be loved. Jesus is the only perfect Man who can fulfill our hearts and complete us. His Love is the only kind of Love that we all should desire to have. A lot of the people out there who are still searching to find love and find the perfect partner that they could spend their life with should listen to this song. The song helps to define the type of person they should be looking for and not settle for anything less, because we truly deserve someone who could love them that is as pure as Jesus.  Kaylyn shares that this song is her personal testimony of finding a love that never fails or walks away.

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Gentle" by Andrew Macdonald: Finding Grace in Life's Hardest Moments

(by Jasper Tan) Have you heard of any heartfelt song lately that elaborates on the pain, yet the yearning for healing feels so heart-wrenching? Andrew Macdonald's latest song, "Gentle," feels just like that. In what seems like a conversational piece with someone, the song actually is a prayer yearning for God's grace and healing. The lush sound of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the heartfelt delivery of the vocals, delivers a certain kind of sincerity wherein Andrew pours his heart out to Jesus. It is very seldom to hear songs wherein the singer cuts through our emotions just enough for us to feel an affinity to his pleas. And Andrew's outreach for help through prayer is something that really cuts through our own pains when we are in those moments of vulnerability while we deal with our own issues. Though the song starts off as a sad song and the lines that are delivered feel so gloomy and hopeless, the song makes a stark change for the better when it starts to...
