Davy, I love Your Heart for Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I praise Him, Oh Yes, indeed I do!. I love YOU God, my Lord!
Bryce Vaughn the legend. Got to turn that bass up in the mix
Love how the music just simply serves the song and the worship leader, not all over the place or overwhelming in any way, just simple and perfect. God bless you all!
Agreed!
What does that even mean.? The song serves the worship leader?
Or music serving the song and the worship leader?
@@devinbrown285 coming from a worship team myself, and as a drummer, whatever I do on stage, I try to be at my utmost tightness and simpleness just to serve the song, meaning not to overshadow any other member or become too distracting on stage, For me, everyone in the worship team is of equal importance (we all have a role to serve), but they are called worship leaders for a reason, they lead the people into worship and so the song should not be too cluttered or layered, so that the worship leader can be present and clearly heard. (that's what I mean when I say serving the worship leader) and btw we all serve one another in worship to glorify God's name and his name alone. Have a good one!

I love this song, but lyrically I think it's sadly inaccurate. I hate the lines about weaponizing praise. Praise is meant to honor God with, to lift him up. It's not something we use to weaponize. Like if I praise God I can attack my enemies, aka weaponizing God. The instances given lyrically are used out of context in my opinion. Praise is the weapon my enemies drown in...I assume referring to the Red Sea swallowing up Pharaoh's army chasing after the Israelites fleeing Egypt. Firstly, the Israelites were hardly praising God. In fact they basically whined to Moses about God trying to get them killed. God commanded Moses to to raise his arms and created a miracle by parting the Red Sea and then again to close it on Pharaoh's army drowning them all. Only then, after the miracle and saving them did they believe and fear God reverently. I'd hardly call that a version of praise is a weapon.
And then Jericho. At least at this time the Israelites were following the commands of God under the guidance of Joshua. It's arguable if they were praising God during their march, but they probably were to some extent. They were following God's command on how to take the city of Jericho. I would still argue this is an example of weaponizing praise. It's an example of being obedient to God's command. It's not using praise as a weapon. In both these stories God commanded the Israelites to do something. He helped them become victorious over their enemy but not because they praised Him. In the first story it was God basically revealing Himself over and over to the Israelites until they finally accepted that He was God, even then they still failed later in the stories to follow. And in the second case they followed God's command, there may have been praising going on but it wasn't as if they were praising God to weaponize Him. They were simply being obedient to His command to march around the city. I can't just sit here and ask God to kill my enemies and expect that if I praise God through my asking He will kill my enemies because praise is a weapon as the song suggest. It's just bad theology. The rest of the song is great, but those lines ruin it.
Totally agree! So many ideas and lines in the song, but some significantly un-Biblical ideas as well, such that I've decided against it for corporate worship (as a worship leader). So sad, with it being an awesomely joyful song, and I also expect better discernment from The Worship Init. I'd encourage you to check out The Joy (Feat. David Dennis) | The Belonging Co (though, the bridge is a little weird / out of context), and God of Victory (Live) | Victory House Worship - similar ideas with solid lyrics!
@@alihallman9065 I'll have to check those out. It is sad when people use these songs. In that case, if someone wanted to use it in corporate worship I think the worship leader should possibly attempt to alter the lyrics slightly, or just not use it as you mentioned.
And why do modern song writers think that we can claim every miracle in scripture? The fall of Jericho was a one time event. It isn't something we can recreate.
The simple answer is to look at who the song writers are. In this case a false teacher is involved (Steven Furtick).
Amen, Amen! I’m glad someone said it!
Honestly, it’s misleading doctrinally to say that our praise has anything to do with overcoming something, like a weapon. Scripture is our weapon. It gives room to boast about something that helps us other than God. 98% of the song is good and that’s why it’s catchy and played in churches across the world. But it’s those few weed seeds that are sprinkled into the field that look like part of the harvest.
It’s dangerous because, as worship leaders, we are teaching doctrine with a song like this, that when we are “in valleys” or our “enemies” surround us, all we have to do is praise and God shows up, like summoning Him or something. It’s a human way to think about God.
It’s never documented that way in the Bible. In fact, one instance that people bring up about singing and God wiping out armies is Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20:19, but they contextually skip over the fact that God spoke through someone, as they were praying for mercy, to tell them 15 And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God's.’”
