Pair of Us and Their Soul-Stirring Song 'As I Behold You'


Pair of Us just released their single, “As I Behold You.” It’s an upbeat worship song that calls you to keep your focus on Jesus and follow His path. Written by Mykenzie seven years ago during a challenging period where everything seemed to pull her attention away from what truly mattered most — her faith in God.

Pair of Us - As I Behold YouNo matter what life throws at you, don’t lose your focus on Jesus. That’s the main message of the song.

Lyrics such as, “I’ll set my gaze and You lead the way… My heart is set ablaze with passion for Your name,” make it easy to feel inspired and uplifted. Each verse speaks to the daily struggle of staying true to our faith, and the chorus affirms our commitment: “Let this be my deepest cry… all my life… As I behold You.”

You don’t just listen — you experience it. Whether you’re getting ready in the morning, belting it out in the shower, or on a your way to work, this is a song that fits every moment.

The song has been performed in quite a few churches and Christian communities, and is loved by so many. Mykenzie and Mikko decided to record this in their home studio in Finland, bringing more intimacy into each note and lyric.

So why not let “As I Behold You” be a part of your daily playlist? May you find yourself inspired and more connected to God.

(Related scripture: Hebrews 12:2; Psalm 27:4; John 14:6)

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...

"Set Free" by Kristin Ambuhl: Naming Your Real Enemy

What battle are you really fighting today?   Some enemies wear a smile. Kristin Ambuhl calls this out in her song “Set Free”. The song calls these enemies a “favorite shadow” who’s “throwin’ words like daggers” while “hiding behind your laughter.” This is much more than a person who is being difficult. Kristin wrote this song about the daily spiritual battles we face as believers — battles found in arrogant people, dark influences, and forces that work to pull us away from who God made us to be. Whether it’s small fights or big ones, she’s naming them all.  The song doesn’t stay stuck in the shadows. Kristin declares, “I’ve been set apart, I’ve been set free, from my enemies, against dark powers, rulers, and authorities.” Part of that line echoes Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” W...

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...
