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)

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...

"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, ...
