'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)

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...

Vertical Worship - Blessed (CCM)

Vertical Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Blessed. The Beatitudes serve as the inspiration for this new track. Quoting Vertical Worship: “The first line of the sermon on the mount, ‘Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ are words that we may be familiar with, but hold a profound invitation from Jesus. It is not those who have it all figured out, or have all the answers that will know more of His kingdom, but rather those who recognize their need of Him. And more of Him means more of His rule, His reign in my life. His law is love and He comes near with mercy.” They continued, “So, quite simply, that’s where the song started, from a place of remembering, a place of trust that when we turn to Jesus, we gain more of Him. And more of Him means more of His presence, His peace, His love. For what does it matter to gain the whole world, but forfeit our soul? What a gift that we get to at any moment recognize our deep need fo...
