"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.

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...

"Good Grace / Clean Slate" by Century Worship: Heaven Came Down to Meet You

There is no one like Jesus. That's the key message of "Good Grace / Clean Slate - Live" by Century Worship, and once this truth sinks in, it's hard to shake. The song opens with a question that stops you in your tracks, pulling the essence of Christ's sacrifice right into your life: "Who is God that He would take our place?" Just think about it for a moment... what kind of God steps down from glory to walk the very ground He created and pay the price on your behalf? The answer to this question unfolds throughout the song. This answer talks about this exchange. "Good grace, clean slate // God met me where I was,"  a God who doesn't wait for you to get it together. He came down and paid it all. That's the story. That's the gospel. The bridge declares: "There's never been, never been, anyone like our God." Century Worship isn't asking you to take their word for it... They're inviting you into the moment where th...

What happens when 45,000 voices unite to proclaim the worthiness of Jesus? That's the scene from Passion 2026 in Arlington, Texas, where the original version of this beautiful song was sung. Originally released in 2017, "What A Worthy Name" is still very popular, continues to stir hearts, and Emmanuel Songsore's instrumental cover of the song captures that same spirit.  You'll love this beautiful piano cover of the song. As always, Emmanuel adds his signature touch to the song, making it easy to drift away in your mind to one of Passion's concerts and sing along.  As you listen to Emmanuel's piano arrangement, may you reflect on these timeless truths. The hands that "turn the universe surrendered to the Cross." Despite the sin that separated us, Jesus "took the fall once and for all." This salvation that can never be earned; it is given to you and me.  When you feel that your hope has "grown too cold to resurrect," may thi...
