'Silent Night' by Erica Violet - A Reverent Nostalgic Blend


With Christmas approaching, it's time to revive the tunes that tune our hearts to the reason for the season, unfolding tales of God's magnificent love and his incredible gift to mankind. Erica Violet's rendition of the much-loved 'Silent Night' is one such song to treasure this season, a melodious blend of traditional charm and contemporary freshness.

Erica Violet - Silent NightRemember the hushed reverence of silent nights at church, when the soft glow of candles brought the beloved hymn to life? Erica does. She magically combines her childhood memories of candlelit Christmas Eve services with a modern sound, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is soothing.

Silent Night's familiar lines, peppered with the rhythmic charm of a 6/8 beat, convey the tranquil peace and divine light of that first Christmas night. The true gem, however, is the newly crafted bridge: a melody leading into intimate worship, a humble adoration of the child who would become our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

Allow the notes and words to wash over you. Allow the melody to awaken the heavenly peace that Christmas promises, echoing the angels' song of 'Holy, Holy'. Listen, and let your heart find the peace offered by Jesus, the radiant Son of God whose birth heralds the dawn of redeeming grace.

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(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...

"Great White Throne Judgement" by whispering HOPE: The Final Rebellion

“Great White Throne Judgement” by whispering HOPE takes us to Revelation 20, and how the chaos of this world will come to an end. The lyrics begin with the release of Satan after a thousand years and his ultimate defeat, where “fire comes down from God above.” In other words, Satan’s rebellion is consumed by God’s fire… chaos is instantly met with God’s perfect order. This song reminds us that justice is inevitable. The bridge is about that awe-inspiring moment that will come when “earth and heaven fled away” and the dead stand before the throne. (That’s mind-blowing!!) The question we can ask ourselves is, why live in fear when you can walk in confidence? Choose life today! Recognize that you have the choice to align with truth, His truth, right here and now. Find your security in Christ! Above all, you don’t need to wait for the books to be opened to ask where you stand. May this song inspire you to live faithfully and with confidence that the Judge is righteous eternally. His grac...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
