'Born New: Journey to Zion II' by Kosj Yamoah - Celebrate Your True Birthday


Kosj Yamoah's 'BORN NEW: Journey to Zion II (J2Z2)' is a heartfelt anthem with an invitation to celebrate a deeper, spiritual rebirth. Kosj shares that August, his birth month, reminds him of the scars and scrapes he's gathered throughtout his life. As we get older, birthdays lose more and more of their sparkle. 'Born New' intends to reignite true joy by focusing on the day that you surrendered yourself to God - that moment you were truly born. 

Kosj Yamoah - BORN NEW: Journey to Zion II (J2Z2)In the first part of the song, Kosj centers his lyrics around keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. He sings, 'I don't look to the left or to the right, I got my eyes on the prize I ain't turning back.' What a beautiful reminder to stay focused on your faith journey, followed by a repeated affirmation, 'Brand New, I'm Born New.'

The second part of the song invites you to celebrate a more important 'birthday,' your anniversary of the day that you surrendered yourself to Christ. As Kosj sings 'Happy Birthday' he encourages you celebrate your rebirth in Christ and look forward to the joy that He promises us. 

So, if you're in need of a spiritual pick-me-up, then take a moment to listen to this song. May it ignite a celebration of your new life in Christ and help you to feel 'Born New' every day.

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Dancing In Your Light" by Ora Street Mission Band: Shining Through Everyday Acts

Ora Street Mission Band put their finger on something important with "Dancing In Your Light." It's the fact that (as Christians) we don't generate our own light, we reflect God's light. It's like the moon reflecting the sun at night. As Christians, we are called to be lights to the world! The vibe of the song draws from a rich musical palette, inspired by The Police, Weather Report, and Toto, giving the song a contemporary groove that matches the song's present-day message. The song encourages you to come into action. So, what does it look like to live as a bearer of His light? The lyrics try to compare this with a firefly lit from within, and a lighthouse holding firm before a raging sea. Each comparison points to the same truth… His light is given to be shared with others. "If he has illuminated you, then fly and be free!" Jesus declared, "I am the light of the world." This song turns that fact into a call to action. Shine, move, and...

"What's That I Hear? (Murrell Ewing Cover)" by The Fosters: When Gospel Comes Home

What if one song could make you feel the pull of heaven so strongly that your heart wishes: "Please don't wake me // For soon the eastern sky will part and I'll see His face." That's exactly what The Fosters deliver with their reimagining of Murrell & Joan Ewing's 1978 classic, "What's That I Hear?" Originally a staple of Rev. Murrell Ewing's ministry and later recorded by various southern gospel legends, this song has been brought home, straight back to its Pentecostal roots. Andrew, Devi, and their three children breathe new life into it, layering family harmony over a real brass section that powers a Sunday morning revival. The longing that is at the heart of this song is unmistakable: "This old world has lost its charm; it's no place for me." It touches a feeling that many believers know quite well, a sense of restlessness and longing for something larger than what this earthly life has to offer. The song reminds us th...
