BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING

‘BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING’ is OUT NOW on Spotify, Apple Music and all other platforms worldwide.

It’s a core value of mine to always be ‘honest, but kind’. I know this is not the best way to get everyone listening to my new song and possibly leads to more unfollows than streams, but I know I have to stay true to myself, and follow my heart.

I hope that together we can think, ask questions and discuss things, hopefully without blindly following the path set before us by others, or by letting the same people divide and isolate us through anger and fear.

While grounded here in Australia, I found myself frustrated, sad, angry and disillusioned with our nation, it’s leaders, and with people in general. I wondered where basic human respect, compassion and understanding went as I saw people fighting amongst each other, and shutting down each other's genuine concerns, feelings and beliefs.

I felt a deep sense of grief as I watched friends, families, doctors, nurses, teachers, and front-line workers - recently held up as heroes, now suddenly losing their jobs and lifelong careers.

I heard stories of families separated now for over 18 months, of babies born, loved ones passing away and countless missed milestones, graduations, weddings, funerals, appointments and life-changing opportunities.

So that said, I decided to dig deep and write a new song called ‘BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING’.

I believe in my heart that this season of struggle for so many is COMING TO AN END as millions of people around the world are putting aside their differences, and unifying together with one voice under the banner of FREEDOM - the tide is turning.

As for me, I’m not going to live in that place of fear any longer. I’m going to rise up, and declare that BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING over your life, family, business, and you will move forward unhindered.

ONE WAY - THELUKASBAND feat. Luke Munns

ONE WAY - OUT NOW! When we first wrote the song ONE WAY backstage before a Hillsong UNITED recording in 2004, little did we know that it would resonate with so many people around the world in such a massive way. It's been so much fun during lockdown recording our very own new modern version with our friends from @hogc in Singapore. ONE WAY for us represents Youth Summer Camp meetings, crying out to Jesus, the way, the truth and the life. What does ONE WAY mean to you? #myonewaystory #onewayjesus 🙌🏻

Power of the Cross | thelukasband feat. Luke Munns | Live in Sydney, Australia

Power of the Cross is an upbeat indie pop song written in San Diego, California, USA by Luke Munns and Andrew Bennett celebrating everything that Jesus did when he died for us on the cross. Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS

POWER OF THE CROSS

Words and Music by Luke Munns & Andrew Bennett

VERSE 1

Praise awaits You in this House
We've come to lift a holy shout
Inhabit every note we sing
Come take Your throne O King

VERSE 2
See the giants hit the ground
As we lift a holy sound
Hear the shackles hit the floor
As the praises roar

PRE CH
If I have one more chance to sing
One final breath these lungs could bring

CHORUS
I shout Your praise
I shout Your victory
I lift Your Name
I lift the power of the cross
The battle's over
And Jesus Christ has won it all
Jesus Christ is Lord of all

VERSE 3
I speak your Word into the night
Until I see the morning light
My fears are slipping out of view
And all I see is You

BRIDGE
Every battle has been won
There's freedom in His blood
No matter where I've run
I can't escape His love
The battle's over
And Jesus Christ has won it all
The battle's over
And Jesus Christ has won it all
The battle's over
And Jesus Christ has won it all
Jesus Christ has won it all
Jesus Christ has won it all
Jesus Christ
