"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)

"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 ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Forever" by Randy Wade: The God Who Has Always Been

The King who reigns forever also reigns over you. Before a single star burned in the sky, before the first mountain rose from the earth, God was. Worship Pastor and Contemporary Christian songwriter Rev. Randy Wade captures this in his song “Forever”, a song built on the unshakeable and eternal nature of God. “Before the mountains were lifted high, before the stars gave light to the sky, You O Lord have always been, the One with no beginning and no end.”   Randy wrote “Forever” to point our hearts toward Christ. The song pulls your gaze off the noise of daily life and fixes it on the One who exists outside of time. We have a God who doesn’t react to circumstances, but One who reigns above them. Revelation 1:8 declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This scripture isn’t just a declaration; it can also be read as a personal promise. It is the same God who holds eternity in His hands who also holds your uncerta...
