The album is a heartfelt journey through God’s grace and power, beginning with an invitation for His presence and ending in a reaffirmation of His sovereignty.
With a blend of worship anthems and reflective declarations, the album calls believers to encounter the presence of God in every moment of their lives, starting strong with an invocation in “Let Your Glory Fall.”
The opening track, “Let Your Glory Fall,” sets the tone for the album, creating an atmosphere thick with the desire to dwell in the nearness of God. Hope’s earnest plea for divine presence resonates with believers seeking to be saturated in God’s glory.
Worship Elevated in “Praise The Lord”
From there, Hope lifts up a powerful anthem of adoration with “Praise The Lord,” declaring His goodness and sovereignty over every storm. With infectious energy and bold faith, the track rallies hearts to worship unashamedly with the lyrics:
As long as I’ve got breath in these lungs
I’ll sing and I’ll never stop
As long as I’ve got breath in these lungs
I’ll sing and I’ll never stop
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Healing in the Midst of Pain: “Hand of Healer”
In “Hand of Healer,” Hope Darst tenderly reminds us that God is a comforter, healer, and restorer of broken hearts and weary souls:
I place my heart, soul, mind, and strength
In the hands of the Healer
Sickness will lift and chains will break
In the hands of the Healer
This track speaks directly to the afflicted, offering hope through the unwavering truth of God’s character.
Declaring the Power in “In The Mighty Name Of Jesus”
A clear standout on the album, “In The Mighty Name Of Jesus” has quickly become a favorite among worshippers around the world. In a time when believers are clinging to the power of prayer and proclamation, this anthem reminds us of the authority and rescue found in Jesus:
… I pray into the atmosphere
Spirit of God, You’re here
You have all authority
I pray over my heart and mind
I am healed by Your stripes
Your blood declares that I am free
This song has found life beyond the studio—echoing in churches, homes, and hearts across the globe.
A Declaration of Belonging in “Forever His”
Following the boldness of proclaiming His name, “Forever His” softens into an intimate confession of identity in Christ. The lyrics proclaim:
There is but one
Through whom all things were made
There is but one
Who’s name alone contains
All the power, all the power
Lift your hands, lift your eyes
Unto the lamb, oh, lift Him high
The risen King, who was and is
All our praise is forever His
A Timely Reminder in “The Blood Of Jesus”
Released during the Easter season, “The Blood Of Jesus” offers a theologically rich reminder of Christ’s sacrifice and its eternal impact:
God so loved the world
That He gave His only son
Knowing on a cross He’d give His life
He gave up His crown
And traded it for thorns
Pouring out a perfect sacrifice
Knowing on a cross He’d save my life
It’s a song of victory and thanksgiving, perfect for moments of reflection during Holy Week or any time of the year.
A Personal Cry in “Give Me Jesus”
Despite the blessings and miracles, Hope longs for something deeper in “Give Me Jesus.” It’s a personal cry that rings true for every Christian hungry for more of the Saviour:
I don’t want anything but You
You’re more than every dream come true
All of the things I thought I wanted
Don’t come close to knowing You
Now that I’m Yours and You are mine
Our love is the secret that I find
I’ll spend forever in the pleasure
I found looking in Your eyes
Grace at the “Table of The Lord”
One of the most poignant and lyrically rich songs on the album, “Table of The Lord” reflects on the grace that invites unworthy hearts to commune with Christ:
You have set a table
I can come and eat
Even when I’m feeling Unworthy of the feast
Here is where there’s healing
Where everyone is seen
And just to be with Jesus Is everything
Come to the table of the Lord
Let Him break the bread and pour the wine
All that is broken He restores
Here at the table
Here at the table of the Lord
Return to communion
He has saved your seat
The King who is a servant
Is here to wash your feet
A beautifully written invitation to all, regardless of brokenness, to return to fellowship and healing in Jesus.
A Personal Testimony in “What The Lord Has Done”
Darst shifts into testimony mode on “What The Lord Has Done,” recounting salvation and redemption with poetic vulnerability:
There was a debt I owed
No chance that I could pay it
A chasm in my soul
No way I could escape it
But I was saved
When I found Jesus
My sin had sealed my fate
No way I could erase it
Ny future was a grave
No way I could have changed it but I was saved
When I found Jesus
Yes, I was saved when I found Jesus
Nothing Too Hard in “You Can”
“You Can” is an anthem of unwavering faith and desperate hope—a plea and a proclamation that God is still in the business of miracles. The song builds from gentle belief to bold declaration:
If anyone can save me, you can
If anyone can heal me, you can
Make a way when they say that it can’t be done
If anyone can, you can
You are the Lord Almighty
Power is in Your hands
So even when fear comes knocking
Oh, I’ll say it again, and again, and again
This song is an album highlight for anyone going through trials, a reminder that God is still able.
A Deep Yearning in “More Of You”
“More Of You” continues the theme of spiritual hunger, with Hope yearning for increased closeness with Christ:
We wait here in the silence, when there’s nothing left to say
Where the promise of a breakthrough is just a breath away
We lean into Your presence, as Your glory fills this place
And the power of Your Spirit leaves nothing here unchanged
In this joint, Hope Darst delivered a song of surrender and a soul crying for intimacy with the Father.
Reverent Praise in “Worth It All”
As the album nears its end, “Worth It All” offers a slowed-down moment of deep reverence and gratitude. It’s an acknowledgement of Christ’s sacrifice and our worship in response.
Hope Darst closes the album with studio versions of “Hand of The Healer” and “Mighty Name Of Jesus,” giving fans a refined, worshipful conclusion to an already impactful experience.
