'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.

"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...

"Dancing On Water" by Mary Oz: When grief has no power over Hope

(by Jasper Tan) I have always been a huge admirer of Mary Oz's music. Since the moment I discovered her songs, without fail, I've always made it a point to add them to my playlists. If there was one CCM artist from the Philippines who deserves to be heard on a global scale, then my vote belongs to Mary.  Her latest single, "Dancing On Water" (which is a part of her forthcoming album), is a pure acoustic folk/rock song that talks about breakthroughs from grief. As Mary shares, "Grief can swallow you whole, but it's not a life sentence. The morning will come, and with it, Joy." This is a very empowering statement that seeks to inspire her listeners to take courage, rejoice, leave the sadness behind, and just conquer their fears.  What I love about Mary's songwriting is her deep metaphorical lyricism that makes her songs stand out among the clutter of songs in this age of digital music. You'll definitely know that her songs are very well thought of...

“We Worship You I AM”, Doyin Teru – Worship in Spirit and Truth

"We Worship You I AM" by Doyin Teru is a relatively simple song with a massive vision and message behind it. The song was born in a moment of prayer. In Bolaji Teru's own words: "Few minutes into the prayers, I knelt down on my knees with the consciousness that God is present and must be revered. In a moment, tears began to flow from my eyes as I heard the song in my spirit as if it's being sung by thousands of others. So I joined them to sing the song and right after, took my phone, recorded the song and gradually began to develop and produced it." In other words, this isn't just another worship track; it's an invitation to join in with a heavenly chorus.  The song repeats a few core phrases: "We worship Your Majesty," "We worship Your Royalty," and the declaration, "We worship You, I AM." Instead of crowding the song with many words, it leans on the weight of God's revealed name  —  "I AM," the Etern...
