'Abel to Jesus' by E. James Smith: A Melodious Journey from Beginnings to Aspirations


E. James Smith's new song 'Abel to Jesus' is a song with a strong rock base, a soulful horn section, and lively choral vocals. The story of this song, 'Abel to Jesus', tells something we all know too well: the ups and downs of life form us into who we are. Through faith, we have the confidence that all of these experiences are molding us into who we were meant to be. As a result, the name we've been given or the problems we've faced don't really matter. What really shapes us is allowing God to use these experiences to help us grow, improve and ultimately, do our best. Through the raw honesty of Smith's lyrics, the essence of our humanity finds a voice. 

E. James Smith - Abel to JesusJust as fascinating is the fact that Smith got the idea for 'Abel to Jesus' from looking through a phone book. I doubt if 'Abel de Jesus' realizes that his name helped to spark a masterful song of faith. A song highlighting that the journey from 'Abel,' who represents our beginning, to 'Jesus,' who represents how we strive to be the best version of ourselves, is both unique to each of us and shared by everyone.  

'Abel to Jesus' by E. James Smith is not only inspiring, but masterfully combines all of our complex human experiences into a beautiful song to reflect life's journey in general. It's a song that makes us reflect, resonate, and stirs our hearts. Give it a listen. Let it speak to your heart as you clap along to its energizing tune.

Imagine the skies tearing open with a thunderous cry. Difficult to imagine? Well, based on Revelation 19 and Daniel 7, we believe that day will come! When the skies tear open, it announces the moment we all have been waiting for.  Whispering HOPE captures this moment in "Rider of Glory," a track that talks about Christ's return as the conquering King.

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 ...
