"Blessed" by Lucy Shores Madeleines: Transforming humble hearts into His servants


Transforming humble hearts to true servanthood.

(by Jasper Tan) “Blessed” by Lucy Shores Madeleines (featuring Amy) is an English adaptation of a Japanese song of the same name that features heartfelt lyrics and a devotional. The song blends their contemporary gospel influences and brings a message of universal compassion and humility. 

Lucy Shores Madeleines - BlessedThe song serves as a meditative prayer that focuses on themes of God’s guidance, our human fragility, and the call to care for all things living in this world. The lyrics are a good devotional that is filled with gratitude and expresses a deep commitment to our Christian faith. The song encourages us to make our devotion a daily practice (0:18–0:31, 2:35–2:47), our offering to God the Father.

The song also acknowledges our imperfection and fragility, anchoring on these themes as the emotional pillar of the song. It is the acknowledgement of our weaknesses as human beings and our need for guidance that brings forth a genuine longing to be blessed with “strength and capability” (2:03–2:07, 4:17–4:24) from God. By surrendering ourselves to God, the song reminds us that true power resides in God alone and that we must seek him out with humble hearts. This includes taking a more caring approach to every living being here on Earth (1:51–1:55, 4:07–4:12), whether they be large or small life forms.

As the song heads towards the end, it encourages us to become servants of God, to dedicate our lives to sharing God’s love and good news with others. This perfectly encapsulates our growth as Christians. “Bless my imperfection and my fragility.” From someone who has acknowledged our shortcomings, to becoming God’s helping hands in ensuring that we can touch others’ lives and bring them closer to God. 

(Related scripture: Psalm 103:8; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Lamentations 3:22-23)

Background:

"Blessing" is a Christian song I wrote for God the Father. It is a song of praise to all living things in the universe, and I wrote it thinking that it might also be for me, a weak human being.

We human beings are all very weak creatures. That is why we cling to God the Father. We follow God's will, study God's Word, and try to conform to God's will. God is very merciful, so He always loves us human beings. God is very forgiving and quick to forgive our past sins. God is always merciful, so we should live up to His expectations.

We must never forget that what God the Father wants most is for us to repent. Our merciful God the Father is always listening to our voices and smiling at us. We must not forget and ignore this God’s holy plan.

"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...

Vertical Worship - Blessed (CCM)

Vertical Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Blessed. The Beatitudes serve as the inspiration for this new track. Quoting Vertical Worship: “The first line of the sermon on the mount, ‘Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ are words that we may be familiar with, but hold a profound invitation from Jesus. It is not those who have it all figured out, or have all the answers that will know more of His kingdom, but rather those who recognize their need of Him. And more of Him means more of His rule, His reign in my life. His law is love and He comes near with mercy.” They continued, “So, quite simply, that’s where the song started, from a place of remembering, a place of trust that when we turn to Jesus, we gain more of Him. And more of Him means more of His presence, His peace, His love. For what does it matter to gain the whole world, but forfeit our soul? What a gift that we get to at any moment recognize our deep need fo...
