For the artists of For His Glory Worship, music is a way to share powerful stories of faith in Jesus. The newest album, “Repented:Ayowale 7.16.2004,” is a deeply personal project from founder Dr. Beverlin Hammett. The nine-track album is her story of redemption, a celebration of life found in Christ. For Dr. Hammett, this collection of songs is her testimony put to music.
The album’s title is deeply personal. The date, 7.16.2004, is the day Dr. Beverlin Hammett’s life was changed forever when she accepted Jesus Christ. That moment became her new beginning. The name “Ayowale” comes from the Yoruba language of Nigeria and means “joy has come home.” It’s a beautiful summary of the album’s heart; the feeling of joy of being found and receiving life.
The album opens with the energizing “Jesus Is The Reason – Freshman.” The song feels full of gratitude, mixing the sounds of urban pop with a raw hip-hop beat. A clear female vocal celebrates Jesus as the source of all freedom and blessings, reminding anyone listening that a life in Christ means you are no longer bound by your past.
The spiritual energy continues with “Glory All Around – HaYoung.” It has a modern, almost futuristic pop sound layered with hip-hop elements. The vocals feel honest and emotional, sharing a simple message about God’s constant love and sacrifice. It’s a song that feels at home in a church or on the city streets, encouraging people to share their faith out loud.
Next, “J-e-h-o-v-a-h” picks up the pace. This is a straight-up electronic dance track with smooth male vocals, creating a feeling of pure celebration. It’s a song of thanks to God, reminding listeners that His presence is more than enough.
The mood becomes more thoughtful on “Only In You – Smooth.” The track blends pop, hip-hop, and R&B to explore that search for meaning. The lyrics reflect on how people often look for happiness in the wrong places, only to discover that real peace comes from a relationship with Christ.
“The Way: Every Prophetic Page” is a deep dive into hip-hop. It features intricate rap verses from male vocalists and soulful R&B hooks from a female singer. The song digs into the idea of God’s redemptive love, showing how faith-inspired hip-hop can be both musically interesting and spiritually healing.
You can’t help but move to “We Worship You Today – Freshman.” This upbeat pop song is all about praising God for his protection. It has a resilient spirit, declaring that even when life gets hard, faith in Christ provides an unshakable anchor. It’s a track that invites you to dance and find victory.
Following that is “Seated in Heavenly Places – Freshman.” The beat feels comfortable yet new, supporting lyrics about wanting to connect with God on a deeper level. The song captures a longing to rise above daily struggles and find rest in His promises, with a catchy hook that stays in your head.
The name “Jehovah” appears again in a track that’s full of soul. “Jehovah – Freshman” is a song of pure thankfulness. Through a mix of rap and melodic vocals, the artists declare God as their light and their anchor through any storm. The combination feels both current and classic.
The album closes with the powerful “Glory All Around – Trio.” This is a heavy-hitting hip-hop track featuring three vocalists whose chemistry is electric. Over a driving beat, their fearless energy reminds listeners that the victory is already won through God. It’s a powerful final statement of faith.
“Repented: Ayowale 7.16.2004” feels like a personal offering, created with care to honor God. The album is a testament to the idea that joy can return, and that faith can make all things new. It’s a journey of praise, healing, and celebration from start to finish
