“We wrote it with Brandon Lake, who is the vocalist on that. I think it's going to be a useful song for other churches to sing, and a great way to start a worship service.” I think it's a fun song to sing in church. You were in bondage, now you're free.’ This song in particular was ‘Hey, let's have something that we can look back on what God has done for us, how he saved us, rescued us.’ Looking back gives us the faith to look ahead and know if he's done it before, he'll do it again. Like Moses, when he brought the Israelites out of Egypt, there's a scripture in Exodus 13 where he says, ‘Remember how you came up out of Egypt.’ He's telling them, ‘Don't forget what your testimony is. “I think there's something so powerful about remembering what God has done for you. From our standpoint, what our faith just grounds us in is if Jesus was in the grave for just a temporary moment and he got up out of that grave, then why are we staying locked inside this dark place? When the song came about, it felt like ‘Let's give people something-first of all, write it authentically to what we're experiencing personally, but then give our church something to shout about, like this isn't the end, I will get to go and see life again and experience life again, and let's believe it.’” There just quickly got to be an energy around this song, like, this is supposed to make you feel something, feel alive, feel this sense of hope.

It was written during quarantine, over voice memos that were shared back and forth, and Zoom calls, that are so difficult to actually write because of the delay. “There's no other song like it on the project, musically speaking. “We feel so much more permission to follow things once we get to the recording,” Brown says, “because preparation is so key to what we do, and we can just let go more.” Here is Brown's track-by-track guide to Graves Into Gardens. Most of the songs were recorded live in front of the church congregation in January, capturing a sense of improvisational openness and spiritual triumph. Brown produced the album with Elevation Worship keyboardist Aaron Robertson, fleshing out arrangements with alt-rock muscle, pop-R&B buoyancy, anthemic lift and confessional singer-songwriter-style intimacy alike. It’s a very, very true expression of what our church is and who our church is made up of.” The dozen tracks reflect the contributions of the musically inclined founding pastor of Elevation Church, Steven Furtick, as well as core group members and like-minded peers from the contemporary worship and gospel scenes locally, nationally and internationally, including Tauren Wells, Bethel Music’s Brandon Lake and Hillsong’s Brooke and Scott Ligertwood. “I just mean it is quite an amalgamation of styles, and obviously a lot of people and voices play a part in it, and varied voices. “To me, this album as a whole is one of the more authentic albums that we've done,” says songwriter and worship leader Chris Brown of Elevation Worship’s crafted yet spontaneous renewal-themed live album Graves Into Gardens.
