Discover the power of faith with Sam The Psalmist’s latest Christian song, “Breakthrough,” featuring Eskay!
“Breakthrough” is a deeply personal and spiritually meaningful song by Samuel Mubenesha, known professionally as Sam The Psalmist. Written during a time of deep grief and struggle, the song captures a transformative moment in Sam’s life.
Background: Sam The Psalmist was born on September 5, 1988, and is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). His childhood was marked by tumultuous circumstances, as he and his family fled violence in their homeland when he was just six years old. They sought refuge in Zambia, Botswana, and eventually settled in South Africa. This diverse background is reflected in Sam’s unique accent and cultural influences.
Raised by a strict doctor father and a creatively driven mother, Sam was instilled with a strong work ethic and resilience. Although he began his musical journey as an accompanist at the age of twelve, he remained reticent to sing. However, in his early twenties, he began to receive melodies and lyrics through dreams and divine inspiration. This led him to step into the role of a psalmist, a title he embraced after someone called him that and it resonated deeply with him.
The Inspiration Behind “Breakthrough”: The song “Breakthrough” was born out of a particularly difficult time in Sam’s life, following the loss of his father to COVID-19. This profound loss left Sam devastated and struggling with his faith and ability to pray. For three months, he found it nearly impossible to connect with God through prayer.
One morning during his devotional time, Sam experienced a moment of clarity and inspiration. He began to hear a melody and lyrics in his heart, singing, “I see your hand move in this place.” This divine encounter was a turning point for him, leading to the completion of the song during subsequent devotional times. “Breakthrough” has become a symbol of hope and healing for Sam, reflecting his journey from despair to a renewed connection with God.
Sam’s Journey: Despite being an introvert and sometimes shy, Sam The Psalmist has embraced his role with dedication. His music is not just about performance, but a prophetic form of worship. It serves as a means to express God’s heart and bring spiritual healing to others.
With a background in chemical engineering and a master’s degree, Sam’s intellectual and professional accomplishments complement his musical passion. However, he sees his music as the core of his calling, a channel through which he shares his faith and experiences.
The lockdown period was a wake-up call for Sam. Realizing the importance of sharing his songs with the world, he chose to release his music despite his initial hesitation. His goal is to ensure that his songs, including “Breakthrough,” reach those in need of encouragement and spiritual renewal.
Breakthrough (Lyrics) – Sam The Psalmist ft Eskay
Verse 1
I can see your hand
Moving in this place oh God
And I can hear the sound of the chains breaking
Verse 2
I can hear your voice
In the midst of all this chaos
Tell me to stay still
Because you’re in control
Choir
I see signs and wonders miracles
Bursting in this place
I see signs and wonders miracles
Burst
I see a turning point x3
Right now
Verse 3
You’re moving mountains for me
You’re breaking down the walls
Making my way
Where it seems possible
Back to the chorus
Bridge
The heavens are open
The strongholds are destroyed
In the name of Jesus x2
Slavery is broken
The yolk has been lifted
In the name of Jesus x2
Every stronghold is destroyed
In the name of Jesus
Every bond is broken
In the name of Jesus
