When God puts a vision for something in our hearts, rarely does it involve certainty or step-by-step directions. In this installment of X Marks the Spot, take an inside look at the months and milestones that go into creating a song that spans age, race, and culture.

What makes songwriting so special is *"...giving people truths that they don't know how to verbalize"*

[@Explain-TheNews]

"I don't write for the Radio .... I write for the Church......" Love you Pastor.

[@lovemanifest4153]

"Until you get into that place of... this sucks, but it's a start". You just set a lot of people free to create with that statement.

[@mf8080]

It's true, Ed Sheeran and a lot of songwriters say that, keep writing, it's gonna suck in the beginning but keep writing, keep trying,, study other musicians and songwriters and eventually it will be goood

[@felicadawn62]

I was going to quote the EXACT same thing. Awesome!

[@kingdomsongwriting7825]

Love Manifest So true!!:) Im inspired.

[@kingdomsongwriting7825]

Magali Ferrebeuf So encouraging.:)

[@JaphtaSesotlo]

There's something about Elevation Worship that makes you look beyond the wonderful music and singing. Makes you fix your eyes only on Yeshua. Pastor Furtick and his wife are rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. God bless this church even more.

[@kathleenwong3119]

Japhta Sesotlo Yes! So true 🙏🏼 God is awesome that way 🙌🏼

[@kingdomsongwriting7825]

Japhta Sesotlo Amen! I believe that!

[@mercykamonjo3634]

Japhta Sesotlo 100% From the first time I watched Pst. Steven, I connected so well and knowing the kind of person I was, I knew that was the beginning of a new phase of my life Blessings to Elevation 😇

[@georgemadison3466]

truth

[@martingatica9057]

"This sucks but it's a start" Love it.

[@Bigricky06]

That was my favorite line....lol

[@EmotionalScenes]

Mack Brock's voice is the most powerful when singing this song.

[@IndraTan01]

What I love about Elevation Worship is that they, as a team, write songs with authenticity. I mean, the songs are basically their prayers and testimonies about how God has been so faithful through out the seasons of their life.

[@kingdomsongwriting7825]

I feel like God has really used Elevations song writing to push this generations worship music to a new level. We all need music to keep us going, to encourage us when times get tough until Christ returns. Its a gift from God to have people who inspire us as worshippers to Praise God in this time.:)

[@tatianacasanova3726]

I can't tell you the way this song has changed my life. "Is giving people prayers that they don't know how to pray", that's exactly how I feel every time I sing Do it Again. Blessing from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@denisebay5800]

There is something with this song makes you believe even when you see just darkness in front of youu🙌🏽🙏🏽 we can also see Elevation Worship sing worshipping God not for Grammy because they touch every single life who listen to they music Glory be to our God

[@TheSocialite1]

Pastor Furtick is right about that the entire world will be singing We are singing all the way in the Caribbean ✨🙏🏾 God bless y'all

[@tylerbamburg318]

This song helped me through a terribly rough time In my life! Thank you for letting God work through you!

[@gingermonette3970]

"... how delightful is a timely word!" Prov 15:23 Thank you : )

[@godisgoodfaithful.803]

ELEVATION WORKSHIP, MY DEEPLY RESPECT FOR THIS SOUNDTRACK. IT IS SUPER GREAT.

[@vflane777]

This song is so powerful! I accidentally ran across it (well, the Holy Spirit put it in my path-so no accident really!). It is EXACTLY what I need to hear in my life right now. I am believing for miracles and all I can do is believe on God's promises and remember what he has done in the past. He has never failed me before and I know he won't fail now. This song is an eye-opening reminder of that truth. It also brings to mind many scriptures, one of which is Psalm 37:25.

[@davidortiz9859]

vflane777 for what seemed like the first time this Sunday Calvary Chapel was live on U tube & when the teaching was done the praise & worship team was singing that song it stuck a cord because of shattered I am believing The Lord will do in my marriage & family. & on my local church the same song was sang & I to felt like what a happenstance.. But we know it was the Holy Spirit leading me to believe & understand his will & plans for my marriage, family & future,, keep your eyes on him not your problems he will give us his perfect will in his own timing.. His promises never fail..

[@jessicakarera4080]

"Giving people prayers that they don't know how to pray" Now thiis! We're indeed singing your songs all the way from Rwanda.

[@calancrt]

Pastor Steven, Chris, Matt, Wade and band, you have no idea how much the songs 'Do it Again' and 'Here Again' mean to me. When I walked into Elevation Church about a year ago after going elsewhere it was 'Do it Again' that brought me to my knees. After 9 years of struggling with something within the family it becomes debilitating to the point of loosing hope, then that song was played for worship and spoke into my spirit like never before. About 6 months after I had heard 'Do it Again,' 'Here Again' was introduced where Pastor Steven talked about the dry bones and speaking to those things that looked dead in our lives. I cannot thank you each for speaking out the promises of God and introducing each of us to a deeper relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. I am glad I am a part of Elevation Church as a result of God moving as He is.

[@christiemarie864]

This is the song that brought me back to Worshipping Jesus! It's powerful! I encourage people to share it that's how I found it ,I haven't been the same since! I received Jesus in my heart when I was very young but after years of the enemy attacks,on my marriage,my health mentally and physically took it's toll and I ran! After the loss of someone so close to my heart on October 5th 2017 I lost it completely! Then someone shared this song ,I listened to it and felt the Holy Spirit! I came back ! To stay He never once gave up on me like the enemy told me He was there the whole time! He made a way where there was no way! He kept His promise! I received Jesus in my heart January 23rd 2018. I'm not leaving you Jesus ever.

[@austynhernandez]

It's amazing seeing how good God is and how perfect His plan is.

[@Adegail_]

Am I the only person that didn't know that Ps Steven was previously a worship leader!? Amazing!

[@beulaho]

This song always moves me to my core. God's promise still stands!

[@kingdomsongwriting7825]

Beulah O AMEN!!!

[@priscillapradeepan9383]

Beulah O 😖😖😫😫

[@wietskevaatstra9847]

Amen! It's all about Jesus! Glory to God for the gifts He has given you! It encourages us to worship the King in Spirit and in truth! 🙌

[@isaactheworshipwarrior6687]

Emo Mack Brock. Omigosh! I love it!!

[@peterandanntowle5959]

I can't begin to tell you how triumphant it is to be in the crowd when this song speaks to the heart of a generation seeking His return....To take off in spirit in song is to reign triumphant in this age with all your fellow believers!!!What a waymaker He is...

[@suzettespitzer8728]

Thank you for never stopping never giving up, always letting the spirit lead you. Your music I will listen to over and over and over again, my 9 year​ daughter with special​ needs due to her hearing loss in both her middle ears, loves your music. Thank you again.

[@lestyers]

Last january my uncle was in the emergency room, he'd been figthing agains cancer for the past 8 months, I remember being in the waiting room, and the Doctors told us that there was nothing they can do, I lost my faith and accepted it in my heart, I went home and sung this song "I'VE SEEN YOU MOVE THE MOUNTAINS, AND I BELIEVE I'LL SEE YOU DO IT AGAIN" God gave me this song as a promise that night. The next morning my uncle was awake and he was back home in the next week, I laughed, talked and enjoyed him 4 more months, He passed away one week ago, This sunday Elevation was singing to this song and Pastor Steven added that God will move the mountain and will help with grieving. I know is God talking to my life.... I BELIEVE, i'll see you do it again.

[@izabelleand]

Wow. This is amazing! Praise God! 🙌🏽☝🏽"the stakes are high...what we write could be a game changer for somebody's life" Love the way you all look at worship. True Worship. I'm hype! Love Elevation!

[@jessychirenge]

Thank you Jesus. All things come together for your will. Elevation Worship your worship takes me to the Holies of holies. you songs are sang all over the world and here in South Africa 🌍. We love you.

[@hiswhisperihear8898]

[@jenitajames6635]

[@smarts0073]

WOW! WOW! WOW! The spirit of this song is beyond words. The power! The accuracy! The world changing ability in the lyrics! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

[@annenjoroge9695]

My testimony! I have seen the Lord fulfill his promises and he's still doing it again, and again and again! I am still in his hands! I love elevation worship. God bless you all! Hallelujah!

[@micahfrye2303]

It's crazy when you get away from sermon thinking and sit down to just say God speak and then "Do it Again" comes on Spotify really moves you. Thankful for you guys!

[@jovevoj]

The moment i realised the words of this song, it just struck me! And the waterworks didn't stop from flowing. Soon, i saw myself with hands lifted up, claiming the lyrics, the PROMISES that i know are not forgotten. This holds so much in meaning in my life. Thank you for this song, it is ministering in my life up til now. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!

[@gusherfelter1068]

Amazing! When God gives a gift we use to give back to people and back to him in order to get fullness of blessings! Amazing jobs you guys are doing!!!

[@JoeMcDaniel]

One of my favorite bridges of all time. So powerful. Fullness is right up there too, great bridge, wonderful powerful lyrics.

[@jo-joal3791]

One of the best songs elevation has ever written.

[@krismaguslog9508]

This is song touched my life in a very mysterious ways. Glory to God.

[@Awesome_Wow_]

6:06 is my favorite part. They sound soo good 🎶

[@inututee8846]

i love the song and am from Africa and at my church we sang resusrrecting after listening to this song am sure we will do at my youth church GOD BLESS YOU ...WE ARE MORE THAN BLESSED

[@joannekatende]

Wow, thank you so much for sticking with it!Beautiful, powerful song. People may hear the song and think "overnight success", but this is years of obedience and faithfulness! May God reward you all abundantly!

[@agcc1667]

This song keeps me confident on every day...

[@xmorena17x]

I remember the first time I heard this song..I'd only heard the bridge in the middle and was blown away! So I bought the Speak Revival EP and could have sworn that I had the wrong song in my iTunes LOL. The beginning was so slow, I was like no way is this the same song! But I listened to those slow lyrics..and thought about how much they reflected on my situation. And I'd listen to the song over and over again and it was like..a soothing balm on my spirit. It might sound silly but I feel like Do It Again has changed something in my DNA. It always helps me calm down and just..feel better. It's so lovely to see the journey this song has taken over the last 2 years. Elevation is so special to me and I'm grateful to be part of this experience.

[@wearesaltlight]

I can't tell you how loud and over and over and over I play this song. I am so grateful for their gift to create worship music. It comforts me in the bad times and good times. I am brought to tears on almost every song.

[@nuoilpublishingllc.2424]

Awesome Awesome Awesome men standing for God and bringing lives to Christ. Gems 💎

[@losrogers13]

I'm only two years into following EW. It's great to get more backstory and learn about these guys. Inspiring for sure. Thanks for sharing this.

[@cindymohammed204]

The mighty Lord in Heaven put you guys together for a reason and am so glad he did, thank you Jesus👑

[@ebubeobiagwu4601]

I always imagined how songwriters could exactly say the words I cant... Now this is how, every word counts, not for the radio but for the people and these are prayers people can't say. Anytime I hear that bridge in fact, the words of the song in toto, I cant help but say that God put all that in your hearts and mouths to give hope and inspire his people when they are discouraged. What a powerful message and reminder of what God can do. May God continue to use you to inspire men. Love from Canada

[@annecaccam5947]

"We cant mail it in when what we are doing in a song writing room might be a game changer for somebody's life." I was invited to the church and your song "Resurrecting" gave me the vision of Jesus reaching for my hand. And yes, it was a game changer in my life. Much love. To GOD be all glory

[@TheHenryManeuverBand]

"Only King Forever" is still my fav. Elevation jam. Jaunt goes hard.

[@TheHop55]

He made me a promise... I had forgotten it, moved to make my life without it in my head... But he had not forgotten, when He reminded me that HE was my God, my husband, it shattered my humanity and shredded my heart, for Him and the truth of His faithfulness. Only God is faithful and I have come to understand, to believe how very real He is, more and more, deeper into Him, I know and understand... His promise still stands.

[@childofthemosthigh9766]

Amen!!! God has and WILL intervene..He doesn’t have to..but He will. Hallelujah! Glory to You, God of Israel. The Only One True Living God🙌 This song came on The Message seconds after I got into my car after God moved a mountain for me. HE made a way when there was no way and HE will do it again. I declare it and I receive it in Jesus Name. Thank You Lord and thank you all for this song. It is beyond anything I can describe with words.

[@charlottekmaddy]

This is so beautiful! I'm so blessed by Elevation Worship

[@_thelifeofablogger5014]

From the first moment I heard this song it touched me in a way that I can't put in words... It was like God was telling me to rely on Him, that He hasn't left my side, and that things would just be okay... It was like God was telling me "Remember the promise". He hasn't fail me, and I know that He won't fail me anytime! And that's exactly what happens when I hear this song, it takes me back to the places where God rescued me at 11:59 on the clock, and it reminds me that He will do it again!!

[@marianaakinyi7906]

THe promise still stands

[@SherrieKapala]

This. Just now. This. All of it. God woke me with THIS song in my mind. Then, doubtful thoughts about my work came flooding in. And he impressed upon my heart to just sing the words. To JUST sing the words! And as I journaled He told me NOT to quit! NOT to put my faith in my fear. But to put my faith SOLEYin HIM! And the tears are filling my eyes and soaking my face. The promo still stands!! He GAVE me this dream. He’s moved the mountains before and He’ll do it again! Wow! He is so good! The promo still stands!! He’s going to do HIS part if I will just do mine. I PRAISE you, God! Thank you for this song! He spoke life back into me; through EVERY word of your bro, God given song! Thank you!!

[@Silena94]

I LOVE the bridge! Soon as that beat hits 🙌🏾 followed by the lyrics, perfection. 🙏🏾

[@brunogatete6069]

Listening to the song after watching the song story, gives it more depth in meaning

[@denisestephanee]

Thank you Christ Tabernacle for introducing this song to me yesterday... My new anthem during our theme, #OnlyBelieve... Watch what Daddy God will do! :'-)

[@tolutofade689]

I was almost crying for the beautiful testimony that this video gives. God has a plan, and his word will be fulfilled. He gathered people who couldn't stand each other and made them a team. I liked when they said "it sucks, but it's a start"; God can (and he is) do thing excedently and aboundantly our imagination. I didn't really like this song in the beginning, but this period I was really down and I thinking about Psalm 91 until the lines "walking around these walls, I thought by now they'd fall, but You have never failed me yet" hit me and I knew that still I had a reason to thank Him.

[@bennyphillips6154]

The words to this song are absolutely spot on for where I am at.....the promise still stands...I will be healed....

[@KingdomConcepts1]

I'm a pastor and musician who is casting this vision for the worship culture in my church, and community. This story came to me right when I needed it.

[@johnsujith12]

Giving prayer to people that they dont know how/what to pray...... that was so so intense and true.. God bless these people and this Church

[@premaa8027]

Promise still stands ... great it touched me

This church is REAL this worship is TRUE man GOD IS GOOD

[@HavilaGen2v11]

Just love it ! love it ! Thanks Steven for this words. Made my day ! Everything that is worth doing is worth overdoing. Why hire one worship leader when you can hire three. I felt like Jesus in Luke 10,21 rejoiced (in the greek leaping and shouting) 😁😂🤣 🤸🏿‍♂️🤸🤸🏿‍♂️

[@Alemarie2023]

I love their songwriting process :)

[@joshrinconnn]

GOD BLESS THIS MINISTRY!!! THANK YOU BECAUSE AFTER WATCHING I HAVE BEEN BLESSED AND INSPIRED. YOUR STORY IS AMAZING, ELEVATION WORSHIP IS A TRUE WORSHIP TEAM

[@4960butterfly]

oh this song defenitely made an impact on my life, especially the line about mountains moving, where he makes a way where i see no way.... God has been doing this lately daily in my life..... thank you thank you thank you a million time thank you for being faithful to Gods voice, and calling upon your lives....Praise God almighty, i can not praise God enough to show my gratitude to have found this church, this ministry. i feel so connected even though i've never been there, and not a member....

[@yasminvega7065]

absoulety agree, with Pastor furtick and elevation worship. At the end its all about how the words ministers to the lives. I like to call it a piercing stage. When you join in worship and no matter how tough your week was when you sing those words its like you saying God no matter what your still with me and im still standing... Absolutely love the inspiration from you guys.

[@mercykamonjo3634]

Amazing ministry, absolutely awesome songs that really help me connect with heavens. Great is the faithfulness of the Lord.Halleluyah!!! I am going through a hard time in my course of life but I am choosing to exalt the name of the Lord and I am certain that Jesus is above ally problems and victory is all mine Be exalted high Jesus!!

[@elmyrvl]

So this is why Do it again was written... i love this song.. and its a good thing to know that pastor steven, chris brown and mack brock and wade joye knows each other when they were in high school... 😍😍😍 I want you to know that elevation worship song really lift up my soul when i started playing and singing it to praise the powerful God... 😇😇😍😍 GOD BLESS YOU ELEVATION WORSHIP.

[@rohitchand8309]

This video couldn't have been more timely. I am currently going through a rough period in my life and have been praying about it. I have noticed that whenever I pray for this part of my life, I always get a promise in a form of bible verse: Proverbs 16:4, 2 Tim 4:18. And I prayed about it in the morning, and this song popped in my head, And I have been focusing on "You are going to do it again". Honestly this song has been an assurance that my his promises still stands. Just want to thank everyone at elevation church. Your work has been touching a lot of hearts.

[@theluismonsalveproject]

Funny how I started punk rock too, now that I am a Cristian I go check this guy's out from punk Rock to worship only in God's plan this could be possible. Dios los bendiga hoy y siempre.

[@TheHenryManeuverBand]

[@kCedarwood]

Thanks for that incite; I got an understanding how God orchestrates greatness! You mentioned writing w/ ppl in mind who don't know how to pray. As an intercessor, I often let God direct me through songs!

[@nintafryani]

[@jorgearturopb]
