Turning Daily Life Into Sacred Moments | Posted February 03, 2025
In his song "Face to Face," Yemi Alafifuni expresses our deepest (and sometimes dormant) desire to have a deeper relationship with God. This isn't one of those songs that was written within a few hours at the kitchen table. It's a song that has been years in the making and inspired by a whisper Yemi heard during his 2-3 hour daily commutes in 2019. Yemi shares:
"I heard a whisper in my spirit: “Come away with Me.” At first I resisted. I was already drained, both physically and mentally. But this prompting didn’t stop—it grew stronger. I knew this wasn’t just another passing thought; it was an invitation. So I obeyed."
Yemi's long daily commutes turned his car into a sanctuary of prayer. This sacred space nurtured a personal cry for more, a face-to-face encounter with God, the kind of intimacy that Moses had when he spoke with God as a friend. This became Yemi's personal cry. It wasn’t about doubt—it was about hunger. And it's in that hunger that the concept of "Face to Face" was born, and you can hear this hunger in the lyrics: "Can I see you face to face? Father to son" and "My soul thirsts for God."
No matter how hard Yemi tried to complete it, it felt like he was hitting a wall... as if God was saying: “You’re not ready yet.”
Something happened five years later, during the night of March 5, 2024. Yemi had almost forgotten about the song. His journey with God had deepened in ways that he didn’t expect, and during that night God gave Yemi the melody for this song.
So you see, "Face to Face" is the outcome of a long journey, a journey filled with hunger to see God more clearly, to know Him more intimately, and to experience worship in a way that goes beyond lyrics and melodies.
In the true Christian spirit of paying it forward, "Face to Face" is your invitation to grow a deeper relationship with God, because as you seek and long for God, you might just find the true intimacy that your heart craves. May Yemi's song inspire and motivate you to pursue a closer, life-changing encounter with the Almighty.
Yemi will be ministering this song LIVE in Concert.
