Jay Davids' 'I Say Yes': From Brokenness to Faith


Jay Davids' latest song, "I Say Yes," is a great follow-up to his single, "Free Indeed." Jay shares an important message about God's grace.

Jay Davids - I Say YesThe song begins with raw confessions that may sound familiar to most of us, of feeling stained and unseen, bearing the weight of past mistakes, and deep feelings of shame. Jay skillfully uses the lyrics to arrive at a moment where Jesus is asking him, "Do you believe?" Jay's responds with "Yes," and is filled with a fire of faith.

This song shows how powerful the word "Yes" can really be. One word that starts a heavenly process of transformation in us—where once there was dirt and grime, now there's peace and renewal.

May this song remind you that no matter how broken you are, all it takes is to say "Yes" to God, and that will bring His healing presence into your life, turning your ashes into something beautiful, and fill you with hope.

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28-30; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Isaiah 61:3)

"More Than a Conqueror" by Doyin Teru: A Live Worship Experience of Unshakable Faith

Doyin Teru's live rendition of "More Than a Conqueror" is a powerful gospel song that declares God's unshakable love and provision. The song was recorded in Vienna with the J423 Community. Inspired by passages in Romans 8, reminding us that nothing—neither life, death, nor any power—can separate us from God's love.

A few months later, he was inspired to write the verse, drawing entirely from the Scriptures. The first verse is based on Romans 8:38, and the second verse comes from Romans 8:32, passages that emph...
