Quit Rapping After Coming to Christ
“To my fans. Thank you for being loyal &
patient. We are specifically fixing mixes on
‘Everything We Need’ ‘Follow God’ & ‘Water.’
We not going to sleep until this album is out,”
he wrote on Twitter early Friday morning.
To the delight of his fans, the album was
released mid-day on Friday, containing 11 songs,
that can be listened to in under a half-hour.
You can preview the songs
here or listen to
them in full on Spotify or YouTube.
The album contains Bible verses, references
from Bible stories, and a continuous theme of
praising God’s faithfulness.
In the song “Selah,” West sings
the lyrics: “They
say the week start on Monday / But the strong
start on Sunday / Won’t be in bondage to any
man / John 8:33 / We the descendants of
Abraham / Ye should be made free / John 8:36 /
To whom the Son set free is free indeed / He
saved a wretch like me.”
In the song “God Is,” West sings: “Worship
Christ with the best of your portions / I know I
won’t forget all He’s done / He’s the strength in
this race that I run / Every time I look up, I see
God’s faithfulness / And it shows just how much
He is miraculous / I can’t keep it to myself, I
can’t sit here and be still / Everybody, I will tell
’til the whole world is healed.”
The song “Jesus Is Lord,” is a mere thirty
seconds but contains the powerful
lyrics: “Every
knee shall bow / Every tongue confess / Jesus is
Lord / Jesus is Lord / Every knee shall bow /
Every tongue confess / Jesus is Lord / Jesus is
Lord.”
The other nine songs on the album are worth
giving a listen to, carrying biblical themes
throughout, and encouraging listeners to turn to
God in all things.
The album, which is trending on Twitter, has
received kudos from many major artists.
Quavo, one of the three members of Migos a
rap group, tweeted that the album is “fire.”
Lecrae, a Christian rapper tweeted: “Regardless
of how you feel about #KanyeWest the content
is refreshing to hear. God will get His glory. And
#JesusIsKing.”
Marco McKinnis, an artist, tweeted, “God is really
working through Ye. If you don’t recognize that,
it’s time to catch up.”
How did we get here?
From producing albums with all explicit tracks to
a gospel album filled with Bible verses, the
journey West has brought fans on over the past
year shows just how powerful the gospel of
Jesus Christ truly is.
Over the past year, Kanye West has become

relationship with Christ and his desire to learn
more about God.

spread the gospel, to let people know what
Jesus has done for me,” Kanye explained to
