"God Of…" by Blessing Tangban: God Isn't Limited by Our Mountains or Valleys


Have you ever stood on a mountaintop, awed by the vastness of creation, and wondered how God can be both infinite and intimately close? That's the heart of "God Of…" by Blessing Tangban, the African Nova Scotian Music Association's 2025 Songwriter of the Year. Blessing wrote the lyrics for this song on a mountaintop in Nigeria. 

Blessing Tangban - God Of…The song reminds us that God isn't limited to our highs or lows. He's the God of the mountain and the valley, as Blessing sings, and He's the God of the healed and the broken. She sings, "God on the mountain, God in the valley // God every waking moment I see," emphasizing that God is there for us through our highs and lows… He is not there as an observer; He is deeply involved in our life. 

"God in your splendor, God in your rage // God never changing from age to age." Blessing admits that she isn't always able to grasp this. "I try to understand, and I try to reconcile // All the ways that you show up." And the best thing we can do is to find peace in simple awe: "When I see you, I know it's you."

The core message of this song isn't about explaining God… It's all about acknowledging Him and how He brings comfort to our chaos. It's an invitation to take a few moments each day to recognize His presence in your life. May this song empower you to embrace Him, and let Him lead you along your unique path, and stand tall in reverence. Go ahead and give this song a listen, and let its message touch your heart and draw you closer to God.

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...

Vertical Worship - Blessed (CCM)

Vertical Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Blessed. The Beatitudes serve as the inspiration for this new track. Quoting Vertical Worship: “The first line of the sermon on the mount, ‘Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ are words that we may be familiar with, but hold a profound invitation from Jesus. It is not those who have it all figured out, or have all the answers that will know more of His kingdom, but rather those who recognize their need of Him. And more of Him means more of His rule, His reign in my life. His law is love and He comes near with mercy.” They continued, “So, quite simply, that’s where the song started, from a place of remembering, a place of trust that when we turn to Jesus, we gain more of Him. And more of Him means more of His presence, His peace, His love. For what does it matter to gain the whole world, but forfeit our soul? What a gift that we get to at any moment recognize our deep need fo...
