Wole Awolola - Immanuel (Gospel)



Wole Awolola - Immanuel
Wole Awolola has released a Gospel track called 'Immanuel'.

We are rapidly approaching a special time of year, and Christmas time is an especially great time to reflect on the birth of baby Jesus.

'Immanuel' is a brand-new song by Wole Awolola. The song is a soulful fusion of Afrobeat and R&B that will make you feel festive. The song was written by Wole and Mr. Eff, who also served as the producer.
Immanuel is a masterfully crafted medley of contemporary and classic songs honoring the magnificent gift that was given to us through the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, more than 2000 years ago. Wole explains succinctly how the arrival of the baby Jesus in the manger was the greatest thing to happen to humanity because it meant that God had actually come to live among us. The simple but artistically written verses and chorus are interjected with a quote from the scriptures where the name Immanuel is first mentioned --Isaiah 7:13-- and the chorus of the popular Christmas hymn 'O come all ye faithful'.

The video for this song was shot by Snatcha (who also did other great music videos). It's a nice mix of shots that capture family life and community togetherness during this special time of year! Click on the video below to watch / listen to this song!

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"the cost (given for us)" by HOMECOMING: Feeling the Weight of Grace

HOMECOMING's "the cost (given for us)" looks at the weight of what Jesus gave up to save humanity. The backstory that HOMECOMING wrote this song after talking about how easy it is to say "Jesus died for me" without really thinking about what that means. Like, what did it actually cost Him? Their approach wasn't to create another "thank You" song, but a song that invites us to slow down and truly feel the sacrifice He made. His sacrifice wasn't just a painful moment on a cross. It was everything. He gave up heaven. He was rejected, betrayed, beaten… and He still chose the cross for us. That kind of love doesn't make sense. But it's real. The lyrics give words to the awe we feel: "You took my place // How can it be // By your grace I'm saved." And lines like "Your blood washed me clean" and "By your stripes I'm healed" remind us of the freedom and healing that He paid for. Then comes the part that ...

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common: Letting Go of People-Pleasing for Good

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common is an interesting song that was born out of this duo's struggles with wanting to please people and the pressure they felt to perform. The song reminds us to stop chasing others for their approval and start chasing Jesus instead. "I'm so done tryna be someone else just to keep people's attention," they sing. It can be very exhausting to constantly pretend and perform. The song reminds us to keep our hearts and lives centered on Jesus—the only one who truly is worthy of being our role model. Not for applause. Not for attention. But because His way is the only one that brings real peace and fulfillment in our lives.  The need to please others and perform is probably a feeling that many of us know all too well — but it doesn't have to define us.  The lyrics of the song put the issue right there on the table: "Who am I tryna be, who am I tryna please? That's the question." And the answer? Ofcourse, Jesus i...
