'Set Apart' by Kosj Yamoah: Healing Through Loss


Kosj Yamoah's song 'Set Apart' is about the emotions we feel when we lose a loved one, and a journey toward peace and healing led by God's grace. After the heartbreaking loss of their child, Zion, on July 7th, 2016, Kosj and his wife Jaymi were filled with grief. The pain of losing their child was almost unbearable, and it caused them to feel lifeless. The thing that kept them going was the hope of being reunited one day with Zion, when it is their time to return home. This hope carried them through their sorrow to peace and healing. 

Kosj Yamoah - Set Apart'Set Apart' begins with a weary heart stepping into the world, weighed down by loneliness. But just before the breaking point, there's a divine encounter. The love of Christ shines through the darkness, offering freedom from their struggles. When you listen to this song, you'll feel the tug of Jesus inviting you to let go of your pain and fix your eyes on Him. 

The chorus is a challenge: do you truly want to separate yourself from earthly burdens and find the perfect peace that can only be found in Jesus. It's a call to be 'set apart,' like a city on a hillside, fully in view of God's love. 

Kosj's lyrics remind you that even in despair, you're never really alone. Jesus promises to prepare a place for your return. Kosj's message is clear: Press on, keep trusting, and find peace in Him.

May 'Set Apart' kindle your fire and point you the ultimate Guide who will lead you back home.

'The Fall' by Josh Wright: Embracing Healing Through Pain

Josh Wright's new song, 'The Fall,' is about the dark and heavy moments that often come with loss, grief, and sin. Most of us have been there, feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame. But that is not where God wants us to linger! Yes, it's important to understand the consequences of our actions, but there is also a next chapter. God wants us to 'get up' and 'keep going.'  Josh beautifully sings about this next chapter in 'The Fall.' With lyrics like, 'I didn't want the valley, I didn't want the dark,' you can feel the pain and reluctance that Josh experienced. He continues, 'Nobody wants to stumble or ever hit the ground. Nobody wants to have to hurt for healing to be found.'   Josh emphasizes that although we're not looking for pain, it does play an important part in understanding God's love. If there is no contrast, e.g., no pain, then how will we be able to appreciate God's love and plan for us? This is how
