Reviewer: JEFFREY OWUSU

Listen to this song when in dying need of help and you could end up crying. Listen to it when hopeful for a better tomorrow and you could be smiling. Whatever the situation, whenever, you will love “Yahweh.” What do I mean? This song with such simple and short lyrics is a “soul searcher.” You cannot sing this song if you’re not willing to be humble and if you’re not willing to sing (worship) in truth and in spirit. And I do emphasize on “CANNOT” because of the message the song carries. You can listen to it like any ordinary song and that’s fine, but try singing it and your mood could instantaneously change. Unless you decide to sing along in a group because you’re compelled to do so, and hence go with the flow. “Yahweh” is a “soul searcher” because it convicts you, makes you admit you’re merely clay in the hand of the potter. Yes, there are hundreds and thousands of songs which express worship to GOD, but this one reminds you of the higher than high, supremacy of GOD, as the songwriter humbly talks of how he ought to BOW DOWN first, even before he begins to worship GOD. The very first time I heard this song I did not like it, I loved it!
