"Son of God" by Chidiya Ohiagu: Hope That Resonates


Chidiya Ohiagu releases a new rendition of Corry Asbury's song "Son of God" (2016). The message and intent of the song are just as relevant today as they were nine years ago. Chidiya has upgraded the song with a bit more tempo and captivating energy. The song is a reminder of God's grace, sacrifice, and eternal hope, and we're confident that this rendition will quickly deserve a place in many playlists.

Chidiya Ohiagu - Son of GodAlthough the original has been around for so many years, it still deserves a closer look at its message and intent. In short, the song invites us to stand still and think about what Christ's love really means to us.

The song starts takes us back to "… a place of sorrow and love," where our Lord and Savior bore nails, thorns, and unimaginable pain… Not for Himself, He did it all for us. These words aren't heavy-handed; they're intended as a tender reminder of the redemption that He made possible for us. The driver was His love for us, His willingness to pay the price on our behalf, so that there is a way back for each one of us. "There is a place for all who will come // His arms are open // Our sins are washed white in His blood," emphasis on "His arms are open," because this part of the song is a constant reminder that there is also room for personal connection. He invites us to "Come find your home," an invitation that extends His warmth and love to anyone who is feeling lost or unworthy.

What makes this track special is the reverence and intimacy. When Chidiya sings about rivers of mercy flowing endlessly or the promise of seeing His face one day, you feel it touching your heart and soul. "Son of God," a lifeline for everyone. Take a moment to listen  -  you won't regret it.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 53:3-5; John 3:16-17; Revelation 5:12-13)

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
