"Giver of All Things Good" by Galen Crew: The Unchanging Source of Every Gift


What if every good thing in your life leads back to a single, unchanging source? That's exactly the truth Galen Crew and co-writer Jesse Reeves share with their song "Giver of All Things Good." They ask you to take a closer look at the incredible gifts you have received in your life. It's a reminder that "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change." - James 1:17 (NIV)

Galen Crew - Giver of All Things GoodIn a world where everything is constantly changing. Whatever was sure yesterday can change in the blink of an eye. Political unrest, acts of nature, the list goes on... but God remains the same. "You never change // Your glory shines // No shadow remains // All that I have // Comes from above." Everything from the breath in our lungs to the grace that refines and purifies us comes from our Father. Galen acknowledges that all we have is "made by your hands." So, how can we best respond? Galen has that answer... it's with wholehearted devotion. "All of my worship all my praise // All of my life lived for your name."

Listen closely to the lyrics, and take a moment to read the recommended scriptures. What stands out is the fact that the focus is on relationship over religion. It's about our relationship with the Father. It is through our relationship with Him that He places "an eternal spring" in our hearts and shapes us. It's personal. It's powerful.

Instead of chasing fleeting blessings, Galen points us to the origin: "Everything perfect comes from you." May this song help you to realize that "Every breath inside my lungs // Is a gift sent from above." May your response be an offering of continuous devotion.

(Related scripture: James 1:17; Malachi 3:6; Psalm 103:2)

"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...

"Dancing On Water" by Mary Oz: When grief has no power over Hope

(by Jasper Tan) I have always been a huge admirer of Mary Oz's music. Since the moment I discovered her songs, without fail, I've always made it a point to add them to my playlists. If there was one CCM artist from the Philippines who deserves to be heard on a global scale, then my vote belongs to Mary.  Her latest single, "Dancing On Water" (which is a part of her forthcoming album), is a pure acoustic folk/rock song that talks about breakthroughs from grief. As Mary shares, "Grief can swallow you whole, but it's not a life sentence. The morning will come, and with it, Joy." This is a very empowering statement that seeks to inspire her listeners to take courage, rejoice, leave the sadness behind, and just conquer their fears.  What I love about Mary's songwriting is her deep metaphorical lyricism that makes her songs stand out among the clutter of songs in this age of digital music. You'll definitely know that her songs are very well thought of...

“We Worship You I AM”, Doyin Teru – Worship in Spirit and Truth

"We Worship You I AM" by Doyin Teru is a relatively simple song with a massive vision and message behind it. The song was born in a moment of prayer. In Bolaji Teru's own words: "Few minutes into the prayers, I knelt down on my knees with the consciousness that God is present and must be revered. In a moment, tears began to flow from my eyes as I heard the song in my spirit as if it's being sung by thousands of others. So I joined them to sing the song and right after, took my phone, recorded the song and gradually began to develop and produced it." In other words, this isn't just another worship track; it's an invitation to join in with a heavenly chorus.  The song repeats a few core phrases: "We worship Your Majesty," "We worship Your Royalty," and the declaration, "We worship You, I AM." Instead of crowding the song with many words, it leans on the weight of God's revealed name  —  "I AM," the Etern...
