'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.

"I Will Rejoice" by Maria Segerholm: Thankful for the Sunshine and the Rain

Joy is a choice you can make today. “I Will Rejoice” by Maria Segerholm is a song of joy and praise, and her message is that joy is a choice despite the challenges we face. Maria has been called a happy person since she was a little girl. The unexpected happened, the trials came. Seasons arrived when her joy faded, and she says the enemy worked hard to steal her joy. Does that sound familiar? Those seasons didn’t last. Over the past few years, God has taught Maria what it means to rejoice in Him at all times, and this song, “I Will Rejoice”, grew from that lesson. Listen to how she sings it. Clouds try to block her light, yet she won’t stay down. Pain tries to break her praise, so she sings His Name. Fear shakes her soul, and she gives thanks “cause I know You’re good.” Notice the words that Maria uses: Clouds, pain, fear, and noise… They all “try,” but none of them win. Joy here is a choice that she makes again and again, long before her feelings catch up. The bridge pushes further....

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...

"No Other Name" by Joakim Arenius and Josef Tingbratt: Hope That Outlasts the Darkness

Darkness grips hard, but one name holds harder. Where do you turn when your strength runs out? Josef Tingbratt and Joakim Arenius wrote “No Other Name” for that moment. Their song follows a man who is “Restless weary and alone,” “So many miles from home.” Inner voices that treat him unkindly. Then a night raid brings brutal violence: “They tried to break his body down, but they could not break his crown.” Notice what he does when “darkness gets its grip.” He calls Jesus: “Jesus, Jesus hear my cry.” No fancy words, just a cry. The song grew where two struggles meet. Some believers face ridicule or violence for following Jesus. Others fight a quieter battle with loneliness and doubt. Both struggles need the same answer. Peter answered the rulers who questioned him in Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” He spoke with threats hanging over him. His confidence never rested on comfortable c...
