Do You Know Him?
Do You Know Him?
As I considered a phrase that would summarize the theme of my new album,
The Attributes of God, I kept coming back to John 17:3 where the Lord Jesus
Christ, in His prayer to the Father on the night before His death, makes a
profound statement:
“And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom you have sent.” John 17:3
In light of this verse, the statement I wanted to make became obvious.
Actually, not a statement, but a question:
Do You Know Him?
Why this question? Because, according to the Lord Jesus in John 17:3, each
person’s eternal destiny depends on what the answer is. There is only one
true God. To know this one true God is eternal life, which means that to not
know Him is eternal death and destruction. There is no knowing this one true
God apart from also knowing Jesus Christ, whom He has sent.
Looking at the same truth from a different angle, it can be said that all
sin is a failure to know God properly (Ex. 5:2, Jn. 16:3). In the days of
the Judges, Israel was spoken of like this:
“And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there
arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD or the work
that he had done for Israel.” (Judges 2:10)
We see the fruit of that lack of the knowledge of God in the very next
verse:
“And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and
served the Baals.” (Judges 2:11)
There is a direct correlation between sin/ idolatry and not knowing the
Lord. Idolatry is giving other things the place that properly belongs to God
alone. This will inevitably happen when a person does not know God. To know
God is to know Him as He has revealed Himself, not as we would like Him to
be. When Moses asked God to see His glory, God responded in this way:
“I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my
name ‘The LORD.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will
show mercy on whom I will show mercy. But,” he said, “you cannot see my
face, for man shall not see me and live.” (Exodus 33:19-20)
Later on in the passage, it says
“The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God
merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and
faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and
transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to
the third and the fourth generation.” (Ex. 34:6-7)
Verse 7 presents a mystery that is only resolved through the person and work
of the Lord Jesus Christ. How can the same God simultaneously abound in
steadfast love and yet remain perfectly just in His dealings with rebellious
sinners like us? God said that He will by no means clear the guilty. The
problem is we ARE guilty. How can we be cleared without God contradicting
Himself? The cross, that’s how. To know God is to agree with Him about the
holiness of His character, the offensiveness of our sin and the righteous
wrath of God that our guilt deserves. To know God is to embrace the cross
and what Christ accomplished there.
To know God is to rest in the sufficiency of the life, death and
resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. To know God is to turn away from sin
and to run towards the Lord, who stands with open arms filled with love,
mercy, grace, kindness and compassion for those who trust in Him. To deny
His character as revealed in Scripture is evidence of not knowing Him. The
blessing of the new covenant is that all who trust in Jesus shall know God
(Heb. 8:11). For all eternity, our supreme joy and delight will be in
knowing and worshiping the God who created and redeemed us. There is no
greater news possible.
The Attributes of God project is an attempt to use music as a means of
communicating truth about the character of God. Our prayer at Lamp Mode has
been that God would use it to point people to the Scriptures and what God
says about Himself there. We’re also praying that through the gospel
presented on the album, God would be pleased to use something as “foolish”
as a hip-hop record to draw people to Himself and to help build up those who
are already in Christ.
So that’s why we chose the question, “Do You Know Him?” as the phrase to go
with the album. We hope that you’ll download the avatar HERE and that it will
spark curiosity and that when people respond, “Know who?”, you would tell
them about Jesus.
grace and peace,
shai

New shai linne single – “The Glory of God”
(to save, right-click and “Save-As”)
The Glory of God
Chorus:
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be the glory!
(repeat)
Verse 1
Let us begin: How should we start?
Brightness shining out of the dark
It shines in our hearts, providing a spark
His might incites the light to impart
Takes us back to Genesis 1
Angels clapped, and hymns- they were sung
Face the facts- He’s second to none
In the beginning positioned the sun
Up in the sky, hovering high
The light’s too bright, cover your eyes
Type of sights that none can devise
This Righteous Knight is lovely and wise
It’s seen in the stars
Seen in the galaxies, seen in quasars
Neptune, Uranus and Pluto and Jupiter
Mercury, Saturn and Venus and Mars
Back to the earth, it shows in the trees
Each of the leaves blows in the breeze
Locusts and bees, ocean and seas
All the result of Jehovah’s decrees
Observe the way His Word creates
Preserves and shapes, determines fates
Reverberates at urgent rates
The earth- it shakes with fervent quakes!
Imagine it
I can’t explain the half of it
Our brains can’t even fathom it
And language is inadequate
To characterize the Lord on the throne
With spiritual eyes, His story is known
From Him and through Him and to Him is everything
Surely to God be the glory alone!
Chorus:
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be the glory!
(repeat)
Verse 2
Let us consider the God who is there
Possessing a glory that’s not to be shared
God versus anyone- not even fair
How could you dare to try to compare
The Self-existent, Self-sufficient
Omnipotent, Beneficent
Faithful God whose Word we can trust
Perfectly Holy and perfectly just
His beauty, there’s no end to it
Transcendence is infinite
Knowledge and wisdom- intricate
Steadfast love is intimate
We see in His laws- He is the Boss
Nothing about Him is evil or false
Pure perfection, zero flaws
All of His attributes meet at the cross!
The place where Jesus Christ was smashed
To satisfy God’s righteous wrath
Rose from the grave on my behalf
Through faith in Christ, He lights our path
Makes believers part of His fam
How does a Holy God pardon a man?
Perhaps even harder to understand:
From the beginning was part of His plan!
Imagine it
I can’t explain the half of it
Our brains can’t even fathom it
And language is inadequate
To characterize the Lord on the throne
With spiritual eyes, His story is known
From Him and through Him and to Him is everything
Surely to God be the glory alone!
Chorus
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be the glory!
(repeat)
Soli Deo Gloria! …release date coming soon!

Meet S.O.
Nigerian born and London raised, Seun “S.O.” Otukpe is no stranger to rap. A love for hip-hop was birthed in him from a young age, saying his first rhyme at 6 years old at his grandmother’s birthday party. But even with this love, he did not dream of doing music. Upon coming to Christ in 2004, at age 15 his focus changed from wanting fortune and fame, to serving and pleasing God.
After years of the Lord working on his soul, and S.O. working on his craft, a gospel-centered artist was formed. In 2010, S.O. accomplished both a degree in Theology from Durham University, and a mixtape offering called “The 5 Solas Mixtape“. It was an encouraging contribution to the soul and to the ear, and one that caught the ear of Lamp Mode Recordings.
In 2011, Lamp Mode Recordings signed S.O. as their first international artist. Currently, both parties are excited about the future, and hopeful in the Lord’s sustaining and providential grace to spread the fame of Christ.
S.O.’s first free album release, “So It Begins” with Lamp Mode Recordings is slotted for this summer… and cats are excited!
