"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm


(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy.

Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ - He's My RockThe song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a run time of seven and a half minutes, the song packs in a lot of punch that highlights the heartfelt vocals of the aforementioned duo and the musical wizardry of Ayron Lewis, an award-winning producer.

The music starts with a slow, atmospheric feel that gradually swells with the inclusion of a full choir ensemble by the Triad4Christ. The song transitions smoothly from a more personal, intimate prayer to a rising communal anthem of praise. And it flows seamlessly throughout this 7-minute and a half track.

The song uses the classic biblical metaphor of God as a “Rock”, indicating God as our source of stability, strength, and refuge. It encourages us to hold on to our faith during our turbulent times, serving as a reminder that God will always be there to rely on and to have our faith anchored in him at all times.

“He’s My Rock” is a welcome addition to contemporary Gospel music. It’s not just to be consumed as a radio-friendly song, but also doubles down as a worthy, genuine worship experience in sync with modern times.

(Related scripture: Psalm 18:2; Matthew 16:18-19; 2 Corinthians 12:9)

Background:

During preparations for the Triad 4 Christ session, Ayron Lewis, an award-winning producer, and I determined that one more song was necessary to seamlessly connect the other music; within a short span of two hours, Ayron created the melody, and we collaboratively penned the lyrics, producing He’s My Rock

As the song took shape, I realized it encapsulated the essence of my testimony from recent seasons.

A scripture from my childhood came to mind – Psalm 18:2, describing GOD as ‘my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.’ The word ‘rock’ held significant meaning for me. Despite the instability that surrounded me, GOD remained the constant, unshakeable presence.

Release date: March 6, 2026

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...

"Consider the Lilies" by Madison Earl: A Gentle Call to Trade Worry for Trust

Who carries your worries when they feel too heavy? Arizona worship leader Madison Earl wrote “Consider the Lilies” for anyone who has lain awake worrying about tomorrow’s problems. It is the third of four original songs she plans to release in 2026. The message for this song is inspired by Matthew 6:26–34. Madison’s hope is that listeners remember that “they don’t have to carry everything on their own.” The chorus asks the questions we all ask. “What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?” Your questions may also be about an increase in rent, unpaid bills, test results, a difficult boss, a wayward child, and more… all of those questions fit. Then comes the answer: “He’s always there.” Jesus made the same point when He was sitting on a hillside. He told his listeners, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” Then he asked, “Are you not of more value than they?” Ask yourself that same questio...

"Lifeline" by Hudson Bezotte: Faith That Holds in Winter Seasons

Where do you turn when signs stop coming? Hudson Bezotte’s “Lifeline” opens with a confession, one you may also recognize. “I feel like I’ve been here a while.” He was met by Jesus as a child, and He “walked with me for miles.” But life happens, and it can be tough to keep the fire going “in the winter.” Have you been there, or is this where you’re at today? You still believe, but the wonder has cooled. Hudson wrote the song during a daily songwriting challenge, and the lyrics carry a lifetime of following Jesus: the disappointments, the desperation, and the hope that has outlasted them. He admits, “It’s not zero AD, I can’t just follow a star.” Nobody hands him a miracle on request. So he wrestles, and he demands “sign after sign.” God doesn’t scold him. He tears “through the nonsense” to remind Hudson (and each of us) that He is divine. That pattern runs through Scripture. Remember? Thomas wanted proof, and Jesus met him with nail-scarred hands. Then Jesus said something that ap...
