If you never thought of rapper Eminem as an artist to turn to for theological insights on the nature and meaning of kairos and kenosis, join the crowd.

However, after viewing this sanctified version of his Oscar-winning 2007 hit single, "Lose Yourself", sung by the Selected of God gospel choir, you might change your mind.

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment;
You own it, you better never let it go.
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow;
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.
