LISTEN TO ‘COMING AWAKE’:
WHAT INFLUENCE MUSIC’S DIRECTOR SAID:
- “I joked with Sean after we wrote the song that people might claim that we are ‘Christian Nationalists’ because we are worship leaders writing a song about our country,” admitted Influence Music Director Melody Noel. “He quickly reminded me that King David, who is the most famous songwriter and worshipper in the bible, mentions the nation of Isreal about 60 times in the 73 psalms he wrote.”
- “It occurred to me that it is actually the duty of worship leaders in America to step up and write songs of intercession and proclamation over our nation,” Noel went on to say. “My prayer is that this song would stir up Christians to reclaim their rightful place as light-bearers in a dark world.”
