'Set Apart' by Kosj Yamoah: Healing Through Loss


Kosj Yamoah's song 'Set Apart' is about the emotions we feel when we lose a loved one, and a journey toward peace and healing led by God's grace. After the heartbreaking loss of their child, Zion, on July 7th, 2016, Kosj and his wife Jaymi were filled with grief. The pain of losing their child was almost unbearable, and it caused them to feel lifeless. The thing that kept them going was the hope of being reunited one day with Zion, when it is their time to return home. This hope carried them through their sorrow to peace and healing. 

Kosj Yamoah - Set Apart'Set Apart' begins with a weary heart stepping into the world, weighed down by loneliness. But just before the breaking point, there's a divine encounter. The love of Christ shines through the darkness, offering freedom from their struggles. When you listen to this song, you'll feel the tug of Jesus inviting you to let go of your pain and fix your eyes on Him. 

The chorus is a challenge: do you truly want to separate yourself from earthly burdens and find the perfect peace that can only be found in Jesus. It's a call to be 'set apart,' like a city on a hillside, fully in view of God's love. 

Kosj's lyrics remind you that even in despair, you're never really alone. Jesus promises to prepare a place for your return. Kosj's message is clear: Press on, keep trusting, and find peace in Him.

May 'Set Apart' kindle your fire and point you the ultimate Guide who will lead you back home.

(Related scripture: John 14:27; Romans 8:38-39; Isaiah 40:31)

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.

"Oceans (Hillsong Cover)" by Tiffany Ford - Stepping into the Unknown with Faith

Life can at times feel like a stormy sea! Do you recognize that feeling? Tiffany Ford does, and Oceans by Hillsong is one of her 'go-to' songs for those rough times in life. She released a beautiful cover of Oceans, and shared how faith became her anchor when her life seemed so overwhelming. "Seemed" is the key word here, because in her moments of doubt and fear she discovered that God was meeting her exactly where she stood — by her side as she stood on shaky ground or in deep waters.  Oceans is a favorite for many readers, a song that describes the tension we feel between trust and uncertainty: "You call me out upon the waters / The great unknown where feet may fail." It's a beautiful invitation to step out of your comfort zone, even when it feels quite risky. With this cover, Tiffany is reminding us (and herself) that He is there when we get of our comfort zone. We can count on Him being there to guide us —  "Your sovereign hand will be my guide...
