Blessing Mokoena & Elaine Mackay - Misunderstood



This song is not quite what you would expect to see on Christian Dance Radio, but it is such a beautiful song. The voices are a pleasure to listen to, the lyrics are powerful, and together with the music the song just stole my heart.

This is what Blessing Mokoena writes about her song: "So a while ago I realized that often in our lives we are all misunderstood at some point, despite our best intentions to do the best we can sometimes our actions are misinterpreted and we are often given labels and brands that aren't truly who we are. Lord knows I done so many terrible things with good intentions and done terrible things with terrible intentions. But every day I'm saying this prayer for God to help me make the right choices every single day even if those choices seem unpopular I am willing to be misunderstood. So I put this in a song I hope you can be encouraged and the song can uplift your soul. 
So Thankful to My friend Elaine Mackay for doing this song with me! so much Love! Special Thanks to German Pianist Sebastian Gottlieb for his piano interpretation and to David Godwin Owulo for making the whole Production a Reality! And Diamond Productions for a fun-filled video shoot."

"In Victory" by Veanea: Praise Is How You Live in Victory

Jesus rose. That changes everything about today. Veanea had a simple goal: glorify the God of signs and wonders. What she didn’t expect was how quickly He would show up in the process.  Veanea had been working on a verse when a chorus for the song broke through —  “Amazing signs and wonders King!” She sang it over and over, sat down at the keys, and the bridge practically wrote itself. That evening, she prayed honestly, telling God she couldn’t write about His wonders without completely depending on Him. The next morning, on a train, she opened her Bible to Psalm 66. The verses seemed to sing right off the page in the exact melody she’d just received. She laughed, realizing that God had already answered.  That same joy runs through every line of the song. “You calmed the storm and stilled the wind and Your arm split the sea // So I can walk ahead in victory.” The God who parted waters for Israel is the same God who is walking with you through whatever it is that you’re carry...

"Guard My Heart From Lies" by whispering HOPE: Fully Changed, Fully His, Fully Free

When the lies crowd in, where do you run for truth? There is a whisper that knows exactly when to show up in your head. You hear it in the quiet moments — when doubt creeps in, when old wounds resurface, when confusion floods the mind before you have had a chance to stand firm. whispering HOPE wrote “Guard My Heart From Lies” from the very place where our battles for truth are fought, not on a stage but in the silence of your own thoughts. The song opens with a striking scene: “There’s a whisper at the window, speaking shadows to my mind, trying hard to steal the promise of the life You said was mine.” This enemy doesn’t need to shout. A whisper is more than enough to trigger the rest, unless you know whose voice to follow. And that is the reminder found in this song: “I don’t have to strive for rest, Your finished work has called me blessed.” This kind of rest isn’t something you earn or give yourself after a hard week. It is already yours. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes this clear: “If a...

"Gravity Of Grace" by Carli Lessing: The Pull You Can't Outrun

Can His grace really pull you back when you’ve drifted this far?  Gravity never asks permission. Drop something, anything, and it falls back to earth without effort or argument. Carli Lessing compares gravity with the way that grace works. You don’t fight your way back into God’s reach. He pulls you there.  The lyrics open with a familiar confession: “I don’t need to run away, hiding from the truth.” Running doesn’t hide anything from God anyway. He “sees every last mistake and selfish path I choose,” and despite that, He stays put. Carli admits she still catches herself trying to earn what God already gave away. That instinct runs deep in all of us. We dress up our effort and call it faith, all while missing the actual gift that is sitting in front of us.  Look at Ephesians 2:8–9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”   Grace isn’t a result of our wo...
