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."

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"Blame Jesus" by Drew Parker: When Grace Rewrites Your Story

Who were you before Jesus found you?  Drew Parker spent a decade chasing a country music dream. He got the record deal, the Opry stage, the number 1 songs written for other artists. Then Jesus interrupted the plan. Drew realized that he’d spent years asking God to bless his ambitions instead of surrendering to God’s. So he decided to walk away from something that was working, not something that was failing. Walking away like this requires a special kind of courage.  In the song “Blame Jesus”, Drew Parker and Steven Curtis Chapman share Drew’s story in plain terms. The song speaks about burning bridges, chasing a “lost highway,” being “a prodigal, a rebel on a losing streak.” Sound familiar? Most of us may have seen a comparable variation of that story in our lives. When God is working in our lives, things change! Drew sings about that change: “these days if you look at me, and what you see ain’t what you used to see.” He doesn’t credit it to willpower or self-improvement. H...
