Long Hollow Worship - The Wonder (CCM)


As a Christian music lover, I am always on the lookout for songs that will truly resonate with my soul. And I have to say, Long Hollow Worship's 'The Wonder' is definitely one of those songs.

The lyrics of 'The Wonder' speak of the amazing love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was fully God and fully man. He left His throne in heaven to rescue us, and His victory over death means that we too can have victory over death.

The song begins with the lyrics 'Beyond what I can understand, Fully God and fully man.' These words immediately capture the awe and wonder of the incarnation, the fact that the infinite God took on finite human flesh to save us.

The chorus of 'The Wonder' repeats the phrase 'Oh, the wonder of it all' three times, emphasizing the sheer magnitude of what Christ did for us. The bridge continues this theme, proclaiming that 'It's the wonder of Your glory, Of how much You love us, It's the wonder of Your goodness and Your kindness.'

Long Hollow Worship - The WonderBut the song doesn't just focus on the abstract wonder of God's love. It also acknowledges our own sinfulness and the fact that we are the ones in need of rescue. The lyrics of the second verse declare that 'If You would leave the ninety-nine, And I'm the one You came to find,' highlighting the fact that Christ's sacrifice was not just a general act of love, but a specific act of love for each and every one of us.

The final verse of the song celebrates the victory of Christ over sin and death, proclaiming that 'Hope was lost until day three, When You arose in victory, oh, You have shattered sin's decree, The death of death is life for me.' These words are a reminder that the resurrection of Christ is not just a nice story, but a historical reality that changes everything.

I encourage you to listen to 'The Wonder' by Long Hollow Worship and let its message of awe and wonder sink deep into your heart. Let it remind you of the incredible love of Jesus Christ, who left His throne in heaven to rescue you and me. I pray that this song will inspire you to live a life of wonder and gratitude, always remembering the incredible price that was paid for our redemption.

"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...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...

"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...
