Sophie Keye releases 'Trinkets' (CCM)


Sophie Keye, an Australian Christian singer-songwriter, based in Ecuador, announces new single ‘Trinkets’ from her debut album. A song that calls out the hypocrisy in the church and in ourselves.

Sophie Keye’s latest single “Trinkets” pulls no punches in calling out the hypocrisy she sees in parts of the church and in herself. Each verse tackles a different way our representation of God can be distorted into something that fits our own image and agenda.

“The chorus of Trinkets “Kumbaya my Lord” conveys two things at the same time. On the one hand, it is a tongue-in-cheek way of calling out people who are superficially religious but hypocrites on the inside. On the other hand, as “Kumbaya my Lord” translates to “ Come by here, my Lord ”, ‘Trinkets’ is not just a critique of hypocrisy in the church, but a genuine cry for God to come and change the distorted ways we see Him and represent Him to the world.

'Trinkets' Lyrics

Some like the God of a box of trinkets
Keep him all locked up so safe and warm
Pick him up dust him off on a Sunday morning
And put him back when the dawn arises

Kumbaya my Lord

Others like the God of a checklist
A set of rules to follow so religiously
Helps us measure ourselves up against others
And we forget he requires mercy

Kumbaya my Lord

Some talk to God like he’s a vending machine
Press his buttons then take what you want
Nevermind about loving your neighbours
As long as you get the right flavours

Kumbaya my Lord

"At The Feet (Midnight)" by Action Worship: Surrender and Rest

(by Jasper Tan) After making a review of Action Worship's song "All Praise (Dawn)" early this year (which, by the way, moved me so much), Action Worship is here once more with a beautiful follow-up single called "At The Feet (Midnight)." Continuing their songwriting sessions at a beach house retreat, "At The Feet" is a powerful and once more immersive Christian contemporary worship song that captures a raw and intimate atmosphere of worship. Like their other previously released songs, the track is anchored in a "Beach House" setting, leaning on a warm, organic, and slightly lo-fi feel as compared to the more traditional stadium worship recordings of other Worship songs. This makes the song feel more like a shared spiritual experience rather than a polished studio recording. This has always been Action Worship's greatest strength with their songs. And this creative process has definitely defined the signature sound of the Action Worship te...

"Paradise" by New Life Worship: One Moment, One Cry, One Promise of Paradise

Have you ever felt too far gone for grace? Like all of the wrongs in your life are just too many to be forgiven? If that is the case, then "Paradise" by New Life Worship has an important message for you. The song takes us back to one of the most powerful scenes in the Bible, the thief on the cross.  The song puts you right there. The thief, hanging right next to Christ on the cross. Guilty, undeserving, and despite that brave enough to be "Crying [to Christ] for mercy // Remember me." What this scene/song tells us is that it isn't about earning His mercy… It's about receiving it. The thief didn't have time to make things right again; he had no religious track record and no credentials. But he saw and accepted Jesus for who He was… and that was enough.  "You could've counted all my wrongs // Instead you counted me your own." These two lines alone are so precious. Just think about it! Instead of condemnation, Jesus offered paradise, extravag...
