Written and composed by PHESOPEG, “Water Yielding Rock” represents a bold introduction into the gospel music industry. The track seamlessly blends contemporary Afropop sensibilities with deep-rooted gospel traditions, creating a refreshing sound that is both modern and spiritually profound.
At the heart of the song lies a timeless biblical metaphor: God as a “water-yielding rock”—a source of life-sustaining provision that never fails. This imagery resonates with believers seeking hope and reassurance, while also offering a universal message of God’s faithfulness.
The single was produced by the acclaimed Sunny Pee, whose golden touch has shaped some of the most celebrated gospel anthems of the decade, including Prosper Ochimana’s “Ekwueme” and Solomon Lange’s “Nakane.” This collaboration marks a significant milestone for PHESOPEG, pairing his authentic songwriting with world-class production that promises to deliver a lasting impact.
“Water Yielding Rock” weaves together English and Igbo lyrics, adding cultural authenticity and spiritual richness. Phrases such as “Ibu anyi danda” (You are our rock) and “ihen ezorezo” (things that are hidden) carry profound biblical depth while connecting deeply with both local and international audiences. This multilingual approach reflects the global nature of gospel music while honoring PHESOPEG’s Nigerian heritage.
The song’s recurring affirmation that “all is gonna be well” serves as both a personal testimony and a prophetic declaration, showcasing PHESOPEG as an artist who understands music’s power to speak hope into challenging circumstances. His comparisons of believers to “Mount Zion, which can never be moved” and the “fire of God that can never be quenched” highlight sophisticated biblical literacy wrapped in accessible, memorable melodies.
PHESOPEG’s emergence in the Christian Afropop scene comes at a time when the genre is experiencing unprecedented global growth. With his authentic approach to faith-based music and contemporary production values, he stands out as an artist to watch in the expanding landscape of African gospel music.
“Water Yielding Rock” is now available across all major digital streaming platforms.
