"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.

"Lay Your Weapon Down" by Curtis Ray: The Strength It Takes to Let Go

Pride feels powerful until it costs you everything that matters. Curtis Ray wrote “Lay Your Weapon Down” out of an honest wrestle with something most of us know too well — the pull between proving a point and preserving a relationship. In a world where the loudest voice and the sharpest argument seem to be rewarded, we tend to forget it’s not about surrendering conviction. It’s about asking an important question: “If love is not the motive behind what we say and do, then what are we really fighting for?” That question doesn’t let you off the hook easily. In 1 Corinthians 13:2 (ESV) we read: “And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” The Apostle Paul wasn’t being dramatic here. You can be completely right and still be completely empty. Knowledge, conviction, even faith — none of it carries weight without love underneath it. The song captures the essence of this sc...

"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 ...

"Welcome Home" by Mary Oz: Love Is Already at the Door

What if the door you’ve been afraid to walk through has been open for you all along? “Welcome Home” by Mary Oz recalls one of the most tender stories in the Christian faith — the return of the prodigal son. His return wasn’t a march of shame, nor was it a hero’s parade. It was a quiet, tired walk back to the only place that ever truly knew and loved him. Mary wrote this song with a soft invitation, a conversational opening that builds into something victorious, with harmonies and drums leading the charge. Then settling again into that same warm, assuring, and secure invitation. A progression that mirrors the journey home.  The lyrics remind us that Jesus isn’t asking you to clean up first. “Come in, lost and wild prodigal / ‘Cos Love is waiting by the kitchen door.” There’s no courtroom here. No checklist. Just Love — patient, unhurried, already standing at the door. The broken don’t arrive here as burdens; they arrive as loved ones.  That’s the heartbeat of Luke 15:20: “But ...
