In everything, give thanks.
In every joy or pain that we feel, we are taught to give thanks for the lessons we learn in that state we see ourselves in. For through it, we survive… we conquer…we become new.
And when we feel renewed…we become grateful…and our gratefulness leads us to, once again, give thanks. And the cycle goes on.
From our hearts, gratitude is translated into words.
These words are spoken…the spoken words are written…the written words are given melody… and the melody brings about songs…of praise.
And so, the birth of A Song of Praise Music Festival or ASOP.
Launched as a yearly songwriting competition in the congregation of Members Church of God International that is open to amateur and professional songwriters nationwide, ASOP has received and produced beautifully created songs of praise – acknowledging how God has moved in each of the participant’s life.
ASOP has become the venue for every songwriter’s thoughts, ideas and feelings which are rendered into songs.
It is at this juncture that we see fit to produce A Song of Praise Music Festival for television.
The program hopes to encourage songwriters to create innovative styles in composing music and writing songs that give glory to God.
As in all songwriting contests, prizes shall await the best song and performer in the weekly, monthly and grand competitions. Winners shall be chosen by a respected panel of judges.
