"Our Father" by Yemi Alafifuni: Crying Out to Our Ever-Present God


Our Father is the latest release that completes Yemi's latest EP, "YHWH". An EP with 4 songs in the CCM genre, 1 song in the CEDM genre ("Our Father") and an instrumental version of "Our Father." Each one of these songs aims to help us grow our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Yemi brings us a message that the world is thirsting to hear. In Our Father, you will recognize most of the lyrics as the Lord's Prayer, and the beat helps to spread this message to a new group of listeners.

Yemi Alafifuni - Our FatherWhen we cry out to God, we're not praying to a distant, uninvolved, abstract thing called "god." We are praying to the living God, our Father who "abound[s] in faithful love" (Psalm 86:15). We are crying out to a protective Father who is full of love, courage and wisdom. And His answer is always, "I'm here. I've got you."

Heavenly Father is not a deadbeat father. He is near. He is present. His concern for us touches our biggest problems and smallest details. He hears our cries before we ever speak a word.

Heavenly Father fills in all the gaps where earthly fathers fail. Do you need to cry out to your Father today? Do you desperately need rescue and His peaceful, protecting presence? May this song (and other songs on the EP) help you to make that connection today! HE is eagerly waiting for you to call to Him, waiting to come to your rescue and accompany you with everything you do.

(Related scripture: Matthew 6:9-10; Isaiah 64:8; 1 Chronicles 29:11)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
