Tanzanian gospel powerhouse Christina Shusho is back with a brand new song, and it’s sure to inspire! “Zakayo” tells the captivating story of Zacchaeus, a man from the Bible who yearned to see Jesus.
The song opens with a gentle melody, reflecting Zacchaeus’s initial humility. The lyrics paint a picture of his short stature, a physical barrier that prevents him from seeing Jesus amidst the crowd. Yet, Zacchaeus’s determination shines through. He doesn’t let his limitations hold him back – he climbs a sycamore tree, his fervent desire to connect with Jesus propelling him upwards.
Shusho’s powerful vocals soar as the song reaches its emotional peak. Jesus notices Zacchaeus perched in the branches and calls out to him. The lyrics then shift, capturing the essence of Jesus’s message – a message of acceptance and love for all, regardless of social standing.
“Zakayo” is more than just a catchy gospel tune; it’s a powerful reminder that faith can overcome any obstacle. Just like Zacchaeus, we all have moments when we feel unseen or unheard. But Shusho’s uplifting message assures us that God sees us, wherever we are on our spiritual journey.
Get ready to be inspired! “Zakayo” is available now on all major streaming platforms, including here on YouTube.
