[COVER] Glorious Day

Original Artist: Passion & Kristian Stanfill

I actually started this cover concept in April 2019, with the intention of a post-hardcore/metalcore melodic singing and screaming dichotomy…but my vocal chords are too frail to scream like I want.

More importantly, the truths in this song constantly remind me of who I once was (a sinner, bound for eternal death); what God accomplished through Jesus on the cross (redeemed me from sin, giving me freedom to eternal life through his death and resurrection); and what I ought to do (share this Good News!).

Check out this different style pass the jump!

[ORIGINAL] Enter the Narrow Gate (Infinite Sleep)

In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus explains the path to eternal life, where the “gate which is narrow, and the way is hard”. To be a Christian is to suffer or struggle, but in the context that it is through the redeeming work of the cross that we have eternal victory, and therefore any struggles we do have while still alive are mere light momentary afflictions (throwback!).

I won’t lie, from early to mid-May my mental health was struggling really hard, prompting the 2nd half of this song. I contemplated the eternal, infinite sleep, thinking that it would be the better alternative to the hardships and struggles of life. Yet, this is a blatant lie! Our hope isn’t in our circumstances, nor are they in “positive vibes” or sunny dispositions; our hope is in King Jesus, the one who suffered immeasurably more, to the point of even suffering on the cross, for the atonement of sins and freedom from the infinite sleep by rising victoriously over death itself. So no, death isn’t the answer to our struggling.
