'DNA' by Yemi Alafifuni: Unmasking the Divine Impression within You


Yemi Alafifuni's 'DNA' succeeds in building a connection between the earthly and the divine, with a beat as contagious as the profoundly instilled truth within it. This piece of contemporary Christian music, arranged to an Afrobeat melody, conveys a timeless message rooted deep inside everyone's DNA: that every life is the masterful work of a loving Creator.

Yemi Alafifuni - DNAThis song, based on Isaiah 64:8, tells us, 'O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.' Any one of us may stray and lose our course as we go through life's highs and lows, longings and joys. The Shepherd, on the other hand, is always nearby, calling us back to the fold, because the seed of righteousness lives within us, it is our true DNA.

'Every breath I take, every beat of my heart/I feel it in my bones' - the lyrics echo the fundamental reality that God's presence is not a high abstraction. It is as real and as substantial as our breathing, heartbeat, and bone marrow. You can't run away from it, nor can you shake it. Embracing this essence, the term 'DNA' emphasizes that within each of us is much more than simply genes - it contains the love of our Heavenly Father, the ultimate source of our identity.

Allow the colorful rhythms of this song to remind you of God's unchanging love lying within your DNA. Remember that even in times of doubt, God's love remains faithful to those who seek Him.

"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....
