2/24/2023 0 Comments Burn the ships“God Only Knows” speaks to me in my most emotional moments of needing to hear God’s truth sung over me. I love the build to the lyrics, “I’m coming alive with You, all the people say, Amen”. I can’t get enough of the vibe and biblical message of the song, especially the lyrics, “I need the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart to stay.” As a fruit of the Spirit, God wants us to “choose joy.” Another empowering sentiment is “Fight on Fighter, the Spirit is alive inside you!” “joy” is easily one of my top FK&C songs, with an upbeat hook and infectious melody. The message is relatable: “God only knows what you’ve been through…God only knows the real you, there’s a kind of love that God only knows. The album features the emotionally powerful track “God Only Knows,” which is one of the highlights. I’m really engaged by the sincere and soothing vocals and the prayerful lyrics throughout the album. This entire project has a Brit-rock tinged worshipful vibe. After the ambient instrumental opener “Introit” which flows into the song “joy,” the album features a soothing and worshipful alt-rock style resembling the latest offerings by Coldplay, NEEDTOBREATHE and Mat Kearney. The vibe of the album is a highlight with signature musicality and harmony-filled vocals layered throughout every track. The album once again demonstrates multi-talented musicianship with creative, insightful lyrics and ear-grabbing melodies. Trust God enough to see, by faith, what God has set in your life and the life of those after you.Following up two successful full-length albums with a string of hit songs including “The Proof of Your Love,” “Fix My Eyes,” “Shoulders,” and “Priceless,” Burn the Ships is for KING & COUNTRY’s much anticipated third album. Trust God enough to say goodbye to the world you knew. There might be some things you are holding onto, some boats that need to be burned in your life. When Abraham burned the boats, he set things in motion that God had planned from the beginning of time, the salvation of mankind. He died not seeing any of that by sight, but by faith (Heb. After the death of his father, Haran, God called him to go and promised him a great nation, great land and a great influence on the nations of the world. They made it as far as Haran, now Southern Turkey (Gen. ![]() He had left Ur with his father, Terah, with the intentions of going to Canaan. God called him into the land of Canaan (Gen. We had to say goodbye to an old world.Ībraham also had to leave a world behind. It is possible that when we burned our boats, we launched into a life that none of our family had previously. Noah had faith in the commandments of God to do something that had never been done before. ![]() ![]() What he was doing was for the salvation of eight souls and the condemnation of the rest of the world (1 Pet. When we burn the boats, we might be going into new territory.Īt the commandments of God, Noah built a boat to figuratively burn the boats of a wicked world (Heb 11:7). It signified God as their leader along with all the promises He had made and the law He had given them. It wasn’t by accident that the ark went before them. This was a new place they were going into. They had traveled all over the Sinai wilderness. When the Israelites crossed over the Jordan under the leadership of Joshua, he gave them instruction to follow behind the ark of the covenant about half a mile but to keep it in sight, “that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before” (Josh.
