Album Back-Story
Why the name Prophet’s Call? In the book of Jeremiah, chapter 1 and verse 5, God told Jeremiah that He called him from the womb. He said, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Does this mean that God calls every person to a specific calling before they are even born?
We studied the Biblical prophets and found that they were leaders and advisors, many advising kings about wars and about things that they were doing that displeased God. Some prophets were not very popular.
The Prophet’s Call album is a call to worship, a call to acknowledge the gifts and calling that God has put within every person, and a call to take back the territory that has been lost. And it is a call to press in and keep pressing in until you are victorious.
The album cover is a profile of a face with a glow behind the mouth, indicating that God can call anyone – and seems to delight in calling those who don’t know much about what they are called to do – but it is His glory which empowers and speaks through us.
Why a Donkey?
We adopted the donkey image as a visual representation of Music for the Christian Warrior for an earlier album. Why a donkey? In the book of Numbers, chapter 22, God reprimands Balaam by allowing a donkey to speak to him prophetically because he ignored the warning of the prophet that God sent. We simply wanted to remind ourselves that, while God prefers to use His people, He can use any method He desires to get His message across. This was our semi-humorous way of remembering that it is God who gives us voice.
Give Us Another Mountain
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man. (2 Samuel 24:14)
There will always be mountains to overcome in our lives. Between you and me, I would rather mine come from God.
Give Us Another Mountain was recorded live at Spirit Wind Church in Kokomo, Indiana
LYRICS
Verse 1
Your enemy is crushed
by the power of Your word
You beat them into dust
Lord, every foe has heard
There is none we fear
None of us is lost
Hear our cry O Lord:
Give us another mountain.
And…
Chorus
We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
We will overcome
We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And our foe will not rise again
We will overcome
We will overcome
It’s not the quest to win
that keeps us on the move
It’s not the fight ‘against sin
That makes us follow You
We take every breath
to obey Your voice of power
Hear our cry O Lord
Give us another mountain.
And…
Chorus
We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
We will overcome
We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And our foe will not rise again
We will overcome
We will overcome
