'Deep' by Yemi Alafifuni: Navigating the Depths of God's Love


Yemi Alafifuni's latest release, 'Deep', has the subtitle 'The Journey', implying that this song symbolizes a journey we need to make to the Creator's heart. Yemi wrote this song during a period of intense reflection and an almost endless interest about the purest form of love.

Yemi Alafifuni - Deep: The Journey'Deep' is an intimate journey through a heavenly love landscape, with verses that express a constant bewildering at the depth of God's love and commitment to us. During the chorus, Yemi beautifully combines lyrics in both English and Yoruba, emphasizing God's love for all mankind and even more, the promise of a gift given to him when his daughter was born. A promise to love, come what may…

Yemi's lyrics connect with us on a personal level, echoing our own spiritual longings and reminding us of Christ's infinite mercy, as expressed in Ephesians 3:17-19. The song invites us to examine our relationship with God's love, a framework for living in His love and allowing His love to shape our identities and lives.

The challenge, joy, and amazement found in 'Deep' encourages us to think about how wide, high, and, most importantly, how deep God's love is for us. Play the song, close your eyes, and let it carry your heart to the depths of God's infinite love.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19; Romans 8:37-39; Psalm 103:11-12)

"Lord You Are So Awesome" by Mario Tucker: Turning Everyday Moments into Praise

“Lord You Are So Awesome” by Mario Tucker is a reminder that worship doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be powerful. The song is based on the fact that what matters the most is that God’s greatness deserves our constant praise. Our praise doesn't have to meet any quality standards for it to be pleasing to God. So, ask yourself... when was the last time that you took a moment to say, “Lord you are so awesome / Lord you are so great / Your name is above the Heavens”? This song invites you to be constantly aware of God’s greatness, and that includes awareness outside the walls of church, like during car rides, your quiet time, and those precious triumphs in life. It's an awareness that leads to response. “So let’s praise and magnify your name.” Praise is not a matter of passively observing and responding... it’s a call to turn your admiration into active devotion. Think about it for a moment: what would change in your life if praise became your first reaction instead of ...

"Repentance (20th Anniversary Edition)" by Thoughts and Notions: Remembering Christ’s Love Through Repentance

Thoughts And Notions released a 20th Anniversary Edition of their song "Repentance," emphasizing that the weight and purpose of this message is still very relevant to us today.  The song was originally inspired by The Passion of the Christ and shaped by the songwriter's memory of seeing a lone cross high above the Swiss Alps. The key message is less about performance and more about our response. It places us at the foot of the cross. When you listen to the lyrics, you'll notice that it is a prayer in song form, and one that looks straight at Christ's suffering. It asks you to reflect on the question: "what will you do with such love?"   The lyrics begin with awe: "I looked at your bloodied face" and "you laid down your life." From there, the lyrics move into an honest confession. "God, how I've been such a fool" isn't despair or an excuse to stay trapped in guilt. It is the first step toward His grace, a journey o...

"At The Feet (Midnight)" by Action Worship: Surrender and Rest

(by Jasper Tan) After making a review of Action Worship's song "All Praise (Dawn)" early this year (which, by the way, moved me so much), Action Worship is here once more with a beautiful follow-up single called "At The Feet (Midnight)." Continuing their songwriting sessions at a beach house retreat, "At The Feet" is a powerful and once more immersive Christian contemporary worship song that captures a raw and intimate atmosphere of worship. Like their other previously released songs, the track is anchored in a "Beach House" setting, leaning on a warm, organic, and slightly lo-fi feel as compared to the more traditional stadium worship recordings of other Worship songs. This makes the song feel more like a shared spiritual experience rather than a polished studio recording. This has always been Action Worship's greatest strength with their songs. And this creative process has definitely defined the signature sound of the Action Worship te...
