'Climbing Mountains' by Jesus Saves: A journey with faith, resisting temptations, transformation, and praise.


The album 'Climbing Mountains' by 'Jesus Saves' contains 15 honest and inspiring songs. The songs address five themes:

  1. Jesus Saves - Climbing Mountains (Album)Unwavering Faith
  2. Resisting Temptations
  3. Personal Transformation
  4. Confronting False Teachings
  5. Praise

Unwavering Faith:

A big part of our faith is being able to truly trust God's plan, look to Him for direction, and be strengthened by His love.

The lyrics in the following four songs express gratitude for His blessings and acknowledge His role in overcoming the challenges we face in life. The following lyrics stand out:

  • Praise His Name - 'Trust the Spirit, not the men, Most these men, will never understand, That His Grace is there for everyone'
  • If You Give Your Pride - 'If you give up your pride, You’ll see the reason why, He sacrificed His Son, For us to have eternal life'
  • Better Days - 'Oh Lord, give me words to speak, In the time of need, When they question me'
  • Eternal Life - 'God gave us the Spirit, So we could see, The world He created, For you and me'

Resisting Temptations:

Three songs contrast the peace that we find in faith with the emptiness that comes from pursuing our worldly desires. Our focus is on resisting temptation and choosing to follow a righteous path. The following lyrics stand out:

  • I Don't Want Your Fruit - 'Would you know when it’s enough? Or do you plan to spend your life, Chasing after broken dreams, Wasting time, again, it seems'
  • To The Mountains, Through The Snow - 'The world in distress oh the world in distress, The world in distress do you see it by now?, Away from this mess oh away from this mess, Come join me my brother I will show you how'
  • What a Beautiful Girl - 'Oh, what a beautiful girl, God gave her voice, like you’ve never heard, Oh what a beautiful girl, Don’t let them drag you into their world'

Personal Transformation (change):

What happens when you fill yourself with faith and do your best to resist temptation? It's cause and effect. It leads to personal growth and spiritual awakening. A life-long journey of overcoming doubt, finding freedom in faith, and ultimately having a better understanding of God's purpose. Three songs address this theme. The following lyrics stand out:

  • Climbing for His Glory - uses the climbing mountains as a metaphor for overcoming challenges and striving for spiritual growth - 'Climbing up all alone, This journey’s for the one, The one who gave us this world, This beautiful world, this beautiful world'
  • Saving Grace - reflecting on the Israelites' rebellion despite all of God's miracles - 'Oh Lord would tell me what’s wrong with them, Why would they keep living as slaves, Oh Lord I am praying don’t turn away, I’m faithful in your saving grace'
  • Better Days - 'I’ll pray that one day they can see, And maybe one day they can walk away from misery, Abandon their wicked ways, For the better days, the better days'
  • Freedom - 'I know you want to be with me, But you have to let me go, I’ve got too many trails to walk, And mountains to climb, and mountains to climb…'
  • Now That My Eyes Can See - 'But now that my eyes can see, That that’s how I used to be (Oh yea, I was), Until my flesh has finally found, His love has always been around' (This song also contributes to the next theme.)

Confronting False Teachings:

It can be quite a challenge to separate truth from flawed teachings. Some teachings can be flawed, dispite the honest intent of the person sharing these teachings. We constantly need to be aware that flaws, or even outright lies, sneek into our minds and hearts. These songs challenge prevailing societal narratives, particularly regarding the theory of evolution. The lyrics promote staying close to the source of trues a creationist and criticise the perceived indoctrination by 'liars' who spread falsehoods. Three songs address this theme. The following lyrics stand out:

  • Liar, Liar… - 'Liar, liar, pants on fire, Why’d you have to lie, to me?, You say we come from monkeys, but there’s a missing link, Why don’t you ever tell us, there’s one for everything?'
  • Now That My Eyes Can See - 'I know that they told you that we are just bunch of monkeys, And we are running around somehow developing conscience'

Praise:

Once we realize everything that God has done for us, how can we not fall to our knees to express our gratitude?

  • Grateful to the One - expressing our gratitude for family, the ability to discern right from wrong, and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ - 'I am grateful to the One, For the daughter for the son, Blessings given me, I did not see, And now I see'

We encourage you to listen to this album. May its message of faith, hope, and personal transformation encourage you as you climb your mountains, filling you with unwaivering confidence that God has got your back.

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

"GREATER THAN THE GRAVE 2026 - Remaster" by Josh Clay: Overcoming Walls and Giants

Have you ever felt like your heart’s gone cold, walls built high like Jericho’s? That’s where Josh Clay’s journey began with his song “Greater Than The Grave”, a song first released in 2022. It was the first song he ever released as an artist, and it’s also the first song that made him say … “yeah, this is my sound!” Years have passed since this song was born, and Josh Clay still sings it with conviction, giving him a good reason to release a remastered version.  Josh shares that this song came after watching a Beatles documentary, where they were explaining that they had 14 days to write 14 songs. He decided right there and then to adopt the same challenge. On the second day of this challenge, while practicing for church, Josh just started singing: “no mountain that may come my way,” and then mumbled something about a grave. In the next 30 minutes, he had the basis for “Greater than the grave”. Josh recalls that this is the song that gave him wings to fly, and without it, t...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
