"It Is You." by HOMECOMING: Rediscovering the One Who Truly Satisfies


HOMECOMING's new song, "It Is You.", started during a spontaneous moment of worship and reflects the band's desire to create music that recalibrates hearts back to what truly matters—Jesus. Today's world seems to be obsessed with chasing success and validation, and this song pulls us back into a bigger reality… the reality that nothing compares to God's presence.

HOMECOMING - it is youThe lyrics wrestle with doubt, wandering faith, and feeling distant from God, and come back full circle to the core of our faith—that He alone satisfies. Lines like "Why does my faith start to wander?" and "Even when I am left faithless, Your love is steadfast" show the contrast we face between our human frailty and God's faithfulness. The chorus boldly declares: "It is You… You're all I've ever wanted, You're everything I need." 

This song transitions from an intimate prayer to a powerful proclamation (or a powerful wish…), combining synths and layered vocals to trigger both personal reflection and encourage you to join others in worship. May "It Is You." be your trigger to stop chasing all of the worldly honors and achievements and look for your true purpose and fulfillment in Christ.

"Three Times" by Mike Janzen: Forgiveness Beyond the Rooster's Cry

(by Jasper Tan) Emotionally raw, introspective, honest, and vulnerable, that's what Mike Janzen's latest single "Three Times" is. Exploring themes centered on guilt, failure, and finding redemption through the disciple Peter, the song aptly expresses that emotionally raw feeling when one is in a dire situation but remembers that Peter once denied Jesus "three times" yet Jesus forgave and loved him still. This is a novel way of connecting and finding inspiration from someone who had committed betrayal against Jesus, yet proved to be a testament of Jesus' love that even if he was betrayed, his love still remains.  Sometimes our strong faith also results in us being "dragged down" by guilt and shame, because we ask ourselves why we betrayed someone we had promised to put our complete trust and faith in. This often would lead us to be overwhelmed by our shortcomings, perhaps feeling shame. But as the song is trying to say, "Three Times" w...

"Green Enough Here" by John Long: Stop Chasing More and Start Living Now

What if the life you already have is actually the life you've been looking for? That's the question that John Long's song, "Green Enough Here", is answering. This song encourages us to take a fresh look at the endless chase in the world today, the one that encourages us to get more and more and more… John invites us to slow down, stay in the present, and find beauty in the ordinary. John doesn't waste time getting to the point: "Don't waste all of your time in the fast lane // Take it easy and learn to love the process." It's a simple message, opposite to what the world is telling us… that a full life is measured by what we have achieved or our status. Contrary to what the world is telling us, it's personal relationships, raising children, staying grounded, embracing the quiet seasons, and listening to God's guidance that matter most. The second verse takes the message a step further. "I'm done letting all my failures hold m...

"Dancing In Your Light" by Ora Street Mission Band: Shining Through Everyday Acts

Ora Street Mission Band put their finger on something important with "Dancing In Your Light." It's the fact that (as Christians) we don't generate our own light, we reflect God's light. It's like the moon reflecting the sun at night. As Christians, we are called to be lights to the world! The vibe of the song draws from a rich musical palette, inspired by The Police, Weather Report, and Toto, giving the song a contemporary groove that matches the song's present-day message. The song encourages you to come into action. So, what does it look like to live as a bearer of His light? The lyrics try to compare this with a firefly lit from within, and a lighthouse holding firm before a raging sea. Each comparison points to the same truth… His light is given to be shared with others. "If he has illuminated you, then fly and be free!" Jesus declared, "I am the light of the world." This song turns that fact into a call to action. Shine, move, and...
