'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.

"Now And Forever" by John Perkins: When God's Faithfulness Outlasts Your Doubt

Doubt is a heavy thing to carry, and can cause one to question if these doubts could disqualify you from His presence? That's what "Now And Forever" by John Perkins is all about. It's a song about renewed faith and the stunning realization that God never leaves… even when you did.  John opens with honest praise: "You gave me breath when I was breathless // You gave me life when I wasn't there." That's not a performance or pretense… just an acknowledgement that our very existence is an act of grace. John shows us that the cross and His resurrection are very personal: "You showed me love through your crucifixion."   What makes this song very relatable is its refusal to dress up the struggle. Just like doubt didn't disqualify John from God's presence, your doubts won't disqualify you either. Weakness, low moments, our wavering faith — none of this can cause Him to break His promise. "Your word lifts me up when I'm feeling...

"Nothing Can Separate Us" by Divine Vibes: A Melodic House Drop Inspired By Romans 8

What if the one thing you've been searching for was by your side all the time? That's the question that Divine Vibes answers in his latest track "Nothing Can Separate Us." This track is a dance-pop and melodic-house collaboration with the Mexican artist Bervmen. The lyrics are based on Romans 8:38–39, and this production turns the scripture passage into a powerful and danceable anthem. Like always, the message of Divine Vibes is beautifully direct. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither present nor future can separate us from the love of God. You'll hear how the lyrics build on the previous line and dismantle every fear that could make you believe that God's love has limits. It doesn't, it can't, and this song makes that perfectly clear. What makes this track stand out is how Divine Vibes and Bervman deliver their message. You'll hear soaring vocals in a melodic house production that celebrates the joy found in the promises of R...

"My Light" by SophiaEki: When the Storm Hits, His Light Shows The Way

Life can be hard at times. Storms come without warning, heavy clouds blocking your view, or sometimes the road ahead goes completely dark. SophiaEki's "My Light" is especially for those moments when you're feeling overwhelmed or drifting alone. The comfort offered in this song is rooted in faith and reminds us of the promises that He has made.  When we're going through tough times, we often tend to forget that God is "the light through the storm," and is making a way for us where there seems to be none. Our God isn't a distant God. SophiaEki reminds us that He actively reaches out, gets personally involved, and is present each and every time we call.  What makes the message in this song so precious is its honesty. SophiaEki doesn't pretend you'll always find your footing. She sings multiple times: "Even when I miss my way." These words aren't a sign of defeat, but a pure surrender to Him. You can lose your direction time and t...
