Did It Before Do It Again Scripture

Backside THE Song WITH KEVIN DAVIS

#822 - "Do it Again" by Elevation Worship

This religion-building anthem was born out of a message given past Meridian Church building'southward Steven Furtick.

Since I start heard their song "Requite Me Faith," Summit Worship has consistently blessed me as a worshiper with their anthems for the church: "Unstoppable God," "Open Up Our Eyes," "O Come to the Altar" and "Resurrecting." The ring is the worship team of Elevation Church, based out of Charlotte, North Carolina and led past Pastor Steven Furtick. Right alongside the Outcry Bout, where they appeared this spring with Lauren Daigle, Hillsong Young & Free and Jesus Culture, I was excited to worship forth with Elevation Worship's latest album At that place is a Cloud.

These are bully songs to pray forth with these all-powerful worship leaders to express allegiance to Him, with longings to know Jesus and exist in His presence. I really honey how expressive these songs are. I had the run a risk to speak with Chris Dark-brown and Mack Brock in-person before Outcry Tour in Reading, Pennsylvania nigh "Practise it Once again."

Delight tell me the personal story behind this song.

Mack: "Exercise it Again" has been in the works for years. A couple of years ago our pastor was preaching at a Hillsong conference, and his message was near how God'due south promises all the same stand. The title of the message was "Don't Stop on 6," and information technology was about how when Joshua was walking around the walls of Jericho, they needed to go along walking around 7 times every bit God promised for the walls to come down. That is such a large message for our church. He was preaching the message, and he kept coming back to the phrase "God'due south promise still stands." Matt Redman texted Pastor Steven and said, "in that location's a song in that concept." And so one of the greatest worship songwriters of all time says there's a song there, and he prompted it.

We worked on ideas with Pastor Steven. Some songs come rapidly, and some songs come in phases over a long time. Nosotros went into a songwriting retreat, and we came upwards with the chorus "Your promise yet stands, great is Your faithfulness," which is something we talk about a lot at our church building, the faithfulness of God. We lived in that for a long, long time. While we were sitting in that location writing, Pastor Steven came up with the first line of the song: "walking effectually these walls, I thought by now they'd fall." Immediately when he spoke that, it totally turned the song into a personal and intimate song. That'south something nosotros all tin sing about in our personal lives.

Which Bible verses connect to the bulletin of the song?

Lamentations 3:22-23 (VOICE): "How indelible is God's loyal love; the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion. Hither they are, every morning, new! Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day."

Deuteronomy 4:39 (NIV): "Admit and have to centre this day that the LORD is God in sky in a higher place and on the earth below. There is no other."

Hebrews 11:one (NLT): "Religion is the confidence that what we promise for will actually happen; information technology gives usa balls about things nosotros cannot see."

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV): "For nosotros walk by faith, not by sight."

Romans 4:3 (NLT): For the Scriptures tell the states, "Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith."

Matthew 17:xx (NIV): He replied, "Considering yous have then niggling faith. Truly I tell you lot, if you lot accept organized religion as small as a mustard seed, you tin say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for yous."

Ephesians 2:xiii-16 (NKJV): "But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off have been brought near by the claret of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the police force of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself i new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity."

What is the takeaway message?

Mack: Dealing with a sin struggle, or walking around a wall of some addiction or struggle, or like Paul with a thorn in his side, we all accept these things we've been dealing with for a long time that nosotros thought God would take care of, and He hasn't even so. But, He hasn't failed us.

We lived in that for a long time, and when we came to the bridge, we thought the best matter we tin can do to live for God's faithfulness in the hereafter is to expect back and remember what He has washed in the past. As much as nosotros all have issues now that we are struggling with or are frustrated with, as a laic we all have moments where we can look back at when God intervened and showed upward in your life and you came to know Him for the beginning fourth dimension. Nosotros all accept something where nosotros can say "I've seen You motility" and "You made a style when there was no style." When you look back with gratefulness for those times, those are some of the best building blocks for faith now. We are not done notwithstanding, and the future is bright. We can believe because He's washed it one time, He'll practise information technology once more. The song has been an anthem for the states. It's a faith-edifice song.

Chris: With this vocal, and with At that place is a Cloud, hopefully with what we are presenting from a songwriting standpoint is that in that location is an understanding that I've walked around walls at some point, and I've lost and buried something in a season of sorrow in my life, thinking this is expressionless, this dream is gone. This is over, but I'm belongings on to the hope that God will phone call information technology forth in its fourth dimension. Nosotros want people to know that God is faithful. Hopefully, listeners relate and connect with the song.

Lyrics:

Walking around these walls
I thought by now they'd fall
But You have never failed me notwithstanding
Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle'southward won
For You have never failed me yet

Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm withal in Your hands
This is my conviction, You've never failed me yet

I know the night won't last
Your Discussion will come to pass

Keep me within Your love
My heart will sing Your praise once again

Your promise nevertheless stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'yard withal in Your easily
This is my conviction, You never failed

Your hope however stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness

This is my conviction, You never failed me yet

I've seen Yous move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I'll see You practise it once again
You fabricated a manner, where there was no manner
And I believe, I'll encounter You practise it again
I'll run across You lot do it again

I'm impressed by the consistent quality and fresh worshipful songs that come from Elevation Worship. This anthology is no exception and is arguably their finest and most Scriptural collection of songs for the Church yet. In that location is a Cloud is about proclaiming the majesty of God and crying out for His Presence throughout this incredible worship feel. The truly unstoppable love of Jesus is beautifully expressed in these compelling songs. The Lord calls us to have joy in Him regardless of our circumstances, which these songs celebrate. Our true joy comes from our relationship with Jesus. One of the lessons I've seen near life is that nosotros shouldn't expect to ready ourselves before we step out in organized religion. We need to fully trust God. The faith statement found in the lyrics: "Your hope still stands, great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness, I'm still in Your hands. This is my confidence, Y'all never failed me even so," has been resonating with me as I realize that Jesus commands u.s.a. to trust God completely no matter our circumstances or personal distractions or concerns.

For many years at present, going back to Give Me Religion, the ministry of Elevation Worship has been a way to put Scripture into the minds, and hearts, and mouths of believers everywhere, in a fresh and creative way. That allows listeners to be edified and to be drawn to the presence of the Lord, and to telephone call out and want to be in His presence. This song helps set my mind on Christ, to allow the distractions of the day melt away, and instead focus on worshiping the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The song reminds me of the beautiful passage in Ephesians 2, which talks nigh how God has torn down the heart wall of separation and nosotros tin boldly approach the Throne of grace.

Songs are an inheritance to share in victory together. God's Give-and-take doesn't render void, and He wants us to accept victory. I am thrilled to feature the message backside this song, which has apace get one of my favorite songs always. And so many people can chronicle to the message, and the song convicts me to know in my heart the biblical truth from Jeremiah in Lamentations three:22-23: God'due south mercy is new each day, and information technology is non based on our performance or what we can do for God. He pours out His mercy despite what we've washed, and there'due south nothing we can do except trust in His Son Jesus. Nosotros can't earn Sky; it's simply through consummate give up to Jesus and putting all of our hope in Him that we can be saved. Equally a follower of Jesus, you'll want to join in and sing out: "I've seen You movement, You move the mountains, and I believe I'll see You lot do it again. You made a way where there was no mode, and I believe I'll run across Y'all do it again." Amen to that!
