Cindy Clark's "I Lift My Eyes (Psalm 121)" was born during a special friendship. The backstory that Cindy shared says it all and deserves to be shared with a larger audience.  Cindy wrote:  "In 2024 I had the honour of meeting a young lady named Stephanie. This was what I would call a divine appointment, and it changed my life. Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to get to know her, as her health took a turn for the worse and she ended up in the hospital for a few weeks before passing away at the early age of 25. The time we did have together she shared a little bit of her journey with OCD/addiction and it was heartbreaking. During this season I met with her weekly, and prayed for her daily. Every time I did I would sing this old Vineyard worship song by Brian Derksen's called "I Lift my eyes up". For 4 months I sang that worship song numerous times a day, when one day I felt that inner prompting in my soul, this voice whisper "go and sin...

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

Have you ever considered Jesus’s actions as a benchmark for our own compassion? In their funky, soulful new track, John and Robert Fumo do just that. In their song, “If Jesus Could (Walk on Water)”, the brothers Fumo share how easy it is to be compassionate and loving in light of the accomplishments and miracles which Jesus performed. In other words, His incredible acts should make our own acts of kindness feel entirely achievable.  For example, “If Jesus could …walk on water,” the lyrics challenge, “then we can …love one another.” There’s more… If He could feed thousands with a few fish and loaves, surely “it shouldn’t be hard to keep the people fed.”   The song reframes Jesus’s acts into a call to action. Instead of seeing insurmountable problems, we are reminded that if Christ could “rise from the dead, // We could trade hate for love instead.” The song not only triggers a paradigm shift, but it also empowers. At its core, it reminds us of Jesus’s promise that ...

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, Jensen & Company's "Holy Is Your Name" is an all-original Christian Contemporary song that features Heidi Jensen North and "Sing Gospel", a finalist in the popular talent show called Britain's Got Talent.  The song is a straight up Praise and Worship song that is in tune with modern times. Churches nowadays need to sing these types of songs and update their catalogue of Praise and Worship songs to listen to. The song puts God in front and center right away as we are encouraged to give praise and worship to him. Heidi delivers a very powerful performance of the song. You could clearly see that this isn't just a mere singing performance, but an outright Praise and Worship prayer session from Heidi. And this beautiful song is enhanced by the presence of the "Sing Gospel" choir, who delivered the supplementary vocal choir that gives this song a more church-friendly vibe. As the title suggests, the song gives Prai...

(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...
