Andrew Macdonald's 'Let Me Be Last' - A Song of Humility and Divine Love


"Let Me Be Last," Andrew Macdonald's newest song, is a beautiful reminder of how important it is to seek God's approval in everything we do and not just focus on our accomplishments in this world. While Andrew was in church, the hymn "Open My Eyes" moved him and became the trigger that led him to write this song. It is the line "the first shall be last" that we find in Matthew 20:16 that sparked even more reflection and became the key message for this song. 

Andrew Macdonald - Let Me Be LastIn a world that glorifies being first in everything, top of the class, employee of the month, etc., Andrew's song takes a different approach. Andrew encourages us to be humble, kind, and meek, and to place God first. With lines like "Got plenty of riches according to them, but it's my heart that's loved by you," he captures the essence of placing God first. 

"Let Me Be Last" is one of the tracks on Andrew's album, "Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength", an album that is all about placing God above all else, and loving Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. By making God the priority in our lives, we need to learn how to be first in His eyes, not ours or the world's eyes. 

May this song spark a prayer in your heart, a prayer to be humble and seek God's grace in a manner that He is truly first for in your life.

(Related scripture: Matthew 20:16; Micah 6:8; Philippians 2:3)

"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....

"He Must Increase" by Rorie: Humbling ourselves in God’s presence

Inspired by the verses John 3:30, Philippians 3:7–8, and John 10:27, Rorie releases "He Must Increase", a beautiful song that reminds us of the sound of CCM from the 2000s, easily the era when the rise of CCM was at its peak. Rorie sings the song with earnestness as she opens the lines "The seasons change and we are aging, But You alone are God of the ages." You'll immediately know that this song is putting God front and center. There's a certain aspect of the song that clearly wants to remind us that God will always be bigger than us. That his glory and mercy will always shine through, and we are mere travelers in the world that he built. Everything emanates from him, and we cannot claim to be bigger than God.  It's a humbling reminder that what we have, what we attained, it all comes as a blessing that He has gifted to us. We cannot claim that it is our works that brought us the joys and triumphs. These gifts and accomplishments are nothing without Hi...
