“It’s hard to judge a song of praise, it involves the way of
thinking, faith, passion, and ability with the words of God in the
Bible.” These are the words of the Presiding Minister to the Members of
Church of God International (MCGI),
Bro. Eliseo Soriano, one of the judges in the 2010 A Song Of Praise Year-End-Finals.
The ASOP is being done twice a year by the MCGI as being administered by Bro. Eli Soriano and
Bro. Daniel Razon.
By years of sustenance, the program produced many songs of praises that
could be used to praise God. The songs’ lyrics are carefully and
vividly criticized according to the teachings based on the Bible. This
competition is not more on the musicality of the song; it is more in the
lyrics if it is according to the Bible. ”It carries the most important
message of the song,” according to Bro. Eliseo Soriano who is the
initiator of this program.
The
ASOP Year End Finals Night was comprised of thirteen finalists who were
from different parts of the world gathered together to promote the
singing of songs of praises to God.

Although, not all got a place in the rankings, none of them went home
without a prize. Bro. Eli Soriano told the organizers to give them
“recognition prizes”; this is to encourage the composers to create
better songs. As of now, the
UNTV where Bro. Daniel Razon is a CEO is planning to launch this coming year a
Tawag ng Tanghalan-like program which features a competition presenting newly composed songs of praises.
