"Nyame Nkunim" by Kwame Acheampong H.: Dancing in God’s Victory


Kwame Acheampong H.'s "Nyame Nkunim (Under His Wings)" is a song that came from times of fear and uncertainty. The lyrics are inspired by Psalm 91, "He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler." The message is simple, God is our safe haven, even when life feels too much. Kwame encourages us to trust Him, "A thousand may fall, but I'm standing strong." He reminds us that God's protection isn't abstract; it's personal and something that you can bank on! "His truth is my shield" and "no weapon formed will ever succeed," lyrics that reflect the unshakable confidence we may have in His promises, because He never fails.

Kwame Acheampong H. - Nyame Nkunim (Under His Wings)This song not only has a powerful message, but it's also the blend of Afrobeats and reggae that quickly gets you in celebration mode! Kwame uses his Ghanaian roots to connect us with this beautiful message of hope and draw us into a vibrant celebration of faith. As Kwame sings, "me and my Father, we walk as one," we begin to feel the intimacy that is within our reach by walking with God every day. No matter how chaotic life can be, God's love for us is a constant! His love surrounds us and uplifts us. His love heals and gives us peace.

May this song invite you to embrace boldness under His wings. It is under His feathers that we may find a place, regardless of whether we're going through a rough patch or just need to feel His peace in our lives. Give the song a listen; it's bound to give your heart and soul a boost!

(Related scripture: Psalm 91:4; Isaiah 54:17; Deuteronomy 31:6)

"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...
