Romans 8:6
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
This song is a prayer to live from that place.

Behind This Song
We wrote this song in May 2020 during our transition into full-time mission work with Coreluv, where we would be serving orphans in Haiti and around the world.
As we wrestled through insecurity, uncertainty, fear, and anxiety, we quickly realized our need to have the mind of Christ.
Though we are easily shaken and easily swayed, Christ is secure and unshakeable. His calling is sure, and every promise is as good as if it's already done.
Lyrics
When I feel so afraid, I can hardly move
When my enemy is moving in closer
When darkness prevails in the land, my heart has abandoned me
The ground becomes sinking sand.
What can I do? I look to You
Give me the mind of Christ
Give me the mind of Christ
No more wavering, no more worrying
Jesus, wash over me
And it’s gonna be okay, you can breathe again
My Word like a fortress, My Presence like a tent
Come in, take a seat at My table, there’s bread and wine prepared for you
Lift up your voice, you are able. Make a joyful noise.
I’m right here with you.
Give me the mind of Christ
Give me the mind of Christ
No more wavering, no more worrying
Jesus, wash over me
Give me the mind of Christ
Give me the mind of Christ
Unshakeable, immovable
Jesus, take hold of me
Oh, wash over us, wash over us, Jesus
Right now, right now, Jesus
My child, your heart has not gone very far
Stand on My Word and know who you are
Known by the Master, chosen by the King
Filled with the Spirit, you can do anything
My child, your heart has not gone very far
Stand on My Word and know who you are
Called by the Master, chosen by the King
Filled with the Spirit, you can do anything
My child, your heart has not gone very far
Stand on My Word and know who you are
Called by the Master, chosen by the King
Filled with the Spirit, you can do anything
My Name on your lips, My sword in your hand
Run towards your victory, take back the land
My Name on your lips, My sword in your hand
Chase down the glory, take back the land
Take back the land
And give me the mind of Christ
Give me the mind of Christ
No more wavering, no more worrying
Jesus, wash over me
Give me the mind of Christ
Give me the mind of Christ
Unshakeable, immovable
Jesus, take hold of me
