It felt important , it felt strategic , it felt prophetic , and we all had tears in our eyes because we felt the holiness of God build in a room with His beautiful love for the church . The lyrics just felt like they just flowed out . It wasn ’ t even work to create it , it was just each lyric just coming , each thought just coming . It felt very divine and holy , even to the point of me just and others being on our knees as we wrote , with tears streaming down our faces . It just feels like it ’ s God ’ s heart . And so , it ’ s an honor to sing this song and to have helped write this song .
[ WM ] Wonderful , wonderful . Well , there ’ s another song , “ No One Like the Lord ”. It really impacted me , Jenn . I mean , it just gave me the chills and it choked me up . And what a song ! To others we say , “ There is no one like the Lord ”. But to Him we say , “ There is no one like You , Lord .” What say you about this song ?
[ Jenn ] I heard this song when it was kind of being worked out and it just caught me . I was in my office , reading , at Bethel Music . And I heard this song and was like , “ Whoa ”. That ’ s because it felt heavenly , it felt holy , and it felt like probably something that the angels were singing around the throne . And I love the music that connects us to humanity and to the God that walks with us here . But my favorite songs are the songs that have nothing to do with humanity . And they ’ re songs that I think are going to be eternal songs . And I think this one is . And I think that being given the honor to help finish this song was very special to me . And just to see where it ’ s gone and what ’ s happened through it has just been special because it just gets your eyes off of yourself , and it just puts you in the heavenlies .
[ WM ] That it does . Ancient Hebrews marked significant events with standing stones piled one on top of the other , and these stone markers were a call to remember and to never forget what God had done . Proverbs 22:28 says , “ Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set ”. Your song . “ If the Lord ”, puts that exhortation to music . Please tell us about this song ?
“ This song came from a really special and really simple write with my husband Gabe , Brian Johnson , and myself . We pictured it being sung by the church , but I don ’ t think we truly had an idea how stunning it would turn out . The night of recording , it was like the room already owned the song . They had heard it once or twice before , but it felt like more than just the knowing of the words and melodies ... their hearts knew it . I pray that this song creates a heart cry in you to bring Jesus back to the center ."
~ Abbie Gamboa regarding the song “ Center ”
[ Jenn ] Oh , I love this song . It ’ s just so special [ WM ] It made me think too . When I think because it ’ s just such a testimony , and I think about how good God has been , I think about that it rings true to every person on their journey , how many times he has said yes to me . And so , no matter if they ’ re young or old . His Word . His what does that mean ? That means that when Spirit . I mean , His goodness , salvation . You he said no , it must ’ ve been for a pretty good could just literally go on and on all day on how reason . Right ? good the Lord has been to us . And I don ’ t think we can sing enough about his goodness past , [ Jenn ] Absolutely ! current , and future … because that ’ s who he is and who he ’ s promised to be forever . And so , I [ WM ] Is there another song in particular you love this song . Zaria is incredible , and when she wish I had asked you about and that you want sings this with such authority , it ’ s just like , “ Man , to discuss ? she just prophesies It ” and I love it .
