Скачать или смотреть Mathew Viray - Your Glory Shines | Christmas Song (Emotional)

This song, “Your Glory Shines,” came from a place I don’t always talk about those nights when everything feels quiet, but not because life is peaceful… more because you’re carrying things alone.

I composed and wrote this song during a season when my heart felt heavy, when the world around me was full of Christmas lights but I couldn’t feel any of their warmth. I wanted to create something honest, something that reminded me and anyone listening that even in the moments you feel unseen, God is still close.

Christmas can be beautiful, but it can also be lonely. Sometimes the lights don’t fix what’s hurting. Sometimes the cold outside feels like the same cold you’re trying to hide inside.

But while I was writing these lyrics, I felt this quiet truth over and over again: Christ shows up in the silence. He meets you where you’re broken. He sits with you in the room no one else notices. And His presence begins to fill the spaces you thought would stay empty forever.

So when I say “It’s starting to feel like Christmas tonight,” it’s not just about the season. It’s about that moment when hope slowly returns. When you remember God hasn’t moved away from you. When His peace makes the night feel warm again even if nothing around you has changed.

I wrote “Your Glory Shines” for anyone who feels broken this season…For anyone smiling on the outside but hurting on the inside…For anyone who needs to be reminded that Jesus came for the wounded, the weary, and the ones who feel like they’re barely holding on.

You’re not forgotten.
You’re not alone.
And His glory still shines...even in your darkest night.

Ang kantang “Your Glory Shines” galing sa lugar na hindi ko madalas ikwento—’yung mga gabing tahimik, hindi dahil payapa ang buhay… kundi dahil ikaw lang ang may dala ng bigat na ’di mo masabi.

Sinulat at kinompose ko ’to sa panahon na mabigat ang puso ko—panahon na punô ng Christmas lights ang paligid pero wala akong maramdaman na init. Gusto kong gumawa ng isang awiting totoo, isang paalala sa sarili ko—at sa kahit sinong makikinig—na kahit sa mga sandaling pakiramdam mo wala nakakapansin sa ’yo, malapit pa rin ang Diyos.

Maganda ang Pasko, pero minsan, masakit din. Minsan hindi kayang ayusin ng ilaw ang mga sugat. Minsan ’yung lamig sa labas, pareho lang ng lamig na tinatago mo sa loob.

Pero habang sinusulat ko ang lyrics na ’to, paulit-ulit kong naramdaman ’yung payapang katotohanang ito: Dumarating si Kristo sa katahimikan. Hinahanap ka Niya sa lugar na basag. Umuupo Siya sa kwartong ’di napapansin ng iba. At unti-unting napupuno ng presensya Niya ang mga puwang na akala mo mananatiling walang laman.

Kaya kapag sinasabi ko na “It’s starting to feel like Christmas tonight,” hindi lang ’yon tungkol sa Pasko. Tungkol ’yon sa sandaling bumabalik ang pag-asa. Sa paalalang hindi ka iniwan ng Diyos. Sa kapayapaang kaya Niyang ibalik ang init ng gabi—kahit wala namang nagbago sa paligid.

Sinulat ko ang “Your Glory Shines” para sa sinumang durog ngayong season…para sa mga nakangiti pero may sakit sa loob… para sa mga tao na kailangan paalalahanan na si Jesus dumating para sa sugatan, sa pagod, at sa mga pilit lang kumakapit.

Hindi ka nakalimutan.
Hindi ka mag-isa.
At patuloy na nagliliwanag ang Kanyang kaluwalhatian… kahit sa pinakamadilim mong gabi.
