'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)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

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.'

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...
