"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)

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Navigating Life with Faith and Friends

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson explores one of the Greek words for love. This song focuses on "phileo" (friendship) and its vital role in life's storms. "Phileo" translates to love that is characterized by affection, fondness, and friendship. It's a warm, tender, and affectionate bond, often seen between friends, siblings, or within a community. It's more about the natural affection we have for those who are close to us.  Chelsea wrote this song when she returned home after living in Cambodia for two years. Faith brought her to Cambodia, sustained her there, and guided her back, but the journey left her feeling like "a little boat" lost in raging seas. At times we may feel like, "I'm drowning, drowning treading water in the wind // I'm drowning, drowning I could use a friend." It's a cry for connection, a reminder that we all need someone to anchor us when fear starts to take over. The fears and lies tha...
