GREAT I AM feat. Ashleigh Green | Live In Sydney

Luke Munns

‘Great I Am’ feat. Ashleigh Green is the fourth installment from our Live In Sydney recordings. Written by Ashleigh Green, Chloe Somerfield, Joel Wiseman & Rachel Aracan, Great I Am is a powerful song that resonated deeply with us while Luke was producing their ‘Room For You’ EP at DaySpring Church in Sydney, Australia.

At the time of recording this song, the lyrics really resonated with me - it was a real kick to the devil, who seems to always relentlessly attack worship music and worship leaders across the globe.

I’d just come back home from the Philippines and as it turns out, someone over there had tried to put a hex on me, and I couldn’t think straight or function properly. Thankfully after some prayer, I was back to full capacity. This song is really a stake in the ground for me in this moment, of knowing and standing firm in my full authority in Christ.

The bridge of the song declares: ‘Darkness cowers, demons tremble, fear stands down, mountains bow in the presence of the Great I Am.’ - which is the truth I so desperately needed to hear.
— LUKE MUNNS

A MASSIVE thank you to Joel Wiseman and the team at DaySpring for partnering with us, for your pursuit of His presence, and for your ongoing love and support.

GREAT I AM - LYRICS
Words & Music by Ashleigh Green, Chloe Somerfield, Joel Wiseman, Rachel Aracan

VERSE 1
From the beginning
You were always moving
Light out of chaos
You spoke life into being
You sculpted the earth
With the hands that formed us
Breath out of dust
Now your life within us

CHORUS
You hold the universe
Within your hand
Great I Am
The Name above all names
Jesus, You’re the Great I Am

VERSE 2
Breath of the Spirit
Wrapped within the Saviour
Revealing the Father
As you healed the broken

BRIDGE

Eyes are opened
Hearts are healed
Pain retreats
Sickness leaves
In the presence of the Great I Am
Dry bones rising
Prophesying
Freedom’s calling
Chains will fall
In the presence of the Great I Am
Darkness cowers
Demons tremble
Fear stands down
Mountains bow
In the presence of the Great I Am
Signs and wonders
Fire falling
Heaven roaring
Holy holy
The presence of the Great I Am

PROMISED LAND

Luke Munns

🌴 NEW SINGLE - 'Promised Land' by thelukasband, Luke Munns and JustPierre is OUT NOW on Spotify, Apple Music and all other online platforms worldwide.

Unlike some who might have had shares in toilet paper, if you’ve been going through uncertain times in the last couple of years, this song is for you!

Experimenting with 80’s sounds mixed with modern indie pop, ‘Promised Land’ by thelukasband, featuring Luke Munns and rapper JustPierre from Los Angeles, USA, is all about holding on to hope, pushing through the wilderness, believing God to part the waters, slay the giants and lead us into a land flowing with milk and honey - into the Promised Land of health, peace and provision for you and those you love.

No matter what life has thrown at you, keep your head up and always remember that better days are ahead. God has got you covered!


PROMISED LAND

Words & Music by Luke Munns, Pierre Efferson

VERSE 1
Come out of the desert
Make it through the night
Search for an oasis
We’re breaking into a brighter tomorrow

PRE-CHORUS
After all that we’ve been through together
Leave it all behind to see the future rise
And I’m holding on

After all these endless years of waiting
You just gotta know there’s better days to come
On the other side

CHORUS
Lead me to the water
Come and take my hand
Lead me to the freedom found in You
And I’m not letting go
Into the promised land

VERSE 2
We made it through the struggle
We made it through the sea
You lead us into paradise
You’re leading us to a brighter tomorrow

VERSE 3 (RAP)
I need You to lead the way,
Lord I need a break
I heard that when we seek Your face,
We receive Your grace
You have stepped in the mess that we have made,
You plead our case
I’m in desperate need for things to change,
Took a leap of faith
Now I’m living in Your blessed assurance
Now my faith just don’t connect at the surface
You see value when I felt I was worthless
Now I know that I’m here for Your purpose, yeah


FOUND AT SEA

Luke Munns

🌊 NEW SINGLE OUT NOW - 'Found at Sea' by thelukasband is out now on Spotify, Apple Music and all other online platforms worldwide.

The song Found at Sea, is a super special song to me, as I wrote it originally a while back as an indie rock song called 'Lost at Sea' as a B-side to another single, and to my absolute surprise Ed Cash (Producer for Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe, Leeland, Bethel Music, Elevation Worship) and Brad O’Donnell, CEO from Capitol CMG contacted me to see who had written it, which absolutely blew my mind.

Recently I heard this remix playing in my heart, and wanted to give the song a fresh wind in it's sails, changing it's name to 'Found at Sea', because being found is better than being lost.

The song is about holding onto God in the midst of the wind, waves and storms that life throws towards us. Never give up on God, never give up on your dreams, and never lose heart.

Hope you enjoy! God bless. 🙌🏻
