Country reggae singer Wesrok is finding a new audience with his latest single, 'God Knows Me Better.' The song, a personal reflection on faith and purpose, has resonated with listeners, recently charting on the United States iTunes chart.
I wrote this song because I believe that at some point in your life, you have to look at where you are and the world at large and ask the question: Why are we here? Which life is the best you can live? By all accounts, instead of doing things that will take you further away from God, it is best to do the things that draw you nearer. It is personally beneficial and can inspire the world.
Wesrok describes his journey to Christianity as gradual, built on introspection rather than a single dramatic event. "I have come to realise that there is a God and there is a standard in life that you have to emulate and exemplify," he explained. "The conclusion is that you have to pull yourself closer to the Creator."
The single combines country storytelling with gospel inspiration, creating an anthem for those seeking meaning. It garnered over 500 pre-orders before its release, a significant milestone for the artist. Wesrok previously served as a police officer, experiences that he says shaped his songwriting themes of perseverance, redemption, love, and faith.
I have come to realise that there is a God and there is a standard in life that you have to emulate and exemplify. The conclusion is that you have to pull yourself closer to the Creator. No one is perfect. I want to be counted among the persons who recognise that God exists and that He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is our everything.
His decision to pursue music professionally five years ago has led to a career that continues to gain momentum, with 'God Knows Me Better' marking another significant achievement.
I am awaiting the actual sales, but I know we have made over 500 in the preorder stage.
