'The Unknown' by Kosj Yamoah: Finding Light In The Midst Of Loss


Kosj Yamoah's contemporary Christian song 'The Unknown' illustrates how a parent's grief can change over time through God's love. The song a personal journey from devastating loss to divine hope. The lyrics were inspired by their painful loss of their son Zion. It tells a moving story of faith that speaks to everyone who find themselves walking the uncertain paths of life.

Kosj Yamoah - The Unknown'The Unknown' a heartfelt reminder that God is with us always, even when things are bad. Even though the challenges that we're going through may seem impossible to overcome, Kosj's lyrics remind us even a world turned upside down is not beyond God's redemptive reach. 'I am glad I'm alive in You,' he sings, voicing the immense strength that can be found when we realize how small we really are within God's grand scheme of divine love.

God's light can change our lives, as the bridge of 'The Unknown' says, 'You spoke to life all of my dreams and my vision... You gave me beauty for all the ashes.' Faith is such a beautiful grace-filled mystery—that new sense of hope and purpose can emerge out of pain and uncertainty—a faith that has been refined by fire and is rooted in God's unwavering love.

This beautiful song, 'The Unknown,' has a message of trusting God even when things in life are uncertain. I invite you to listen and let it echo during your own journey. What you experience today will become your testimony tomorrow!

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
