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)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
