Mention
Meaning & Inspiration
Fresh Start Worship’s song “Mention,” released on January 3, 2018, arrives as a powerful invitation to turn our focus fully onto the character and deeds of God Himself. The core message woven throughout this piece centers on the profound significance of God’s “mention” – not just the act of speaking His name, but the remembering, proclaiming, and honoring of who He is and what He has accomplished. It calls us back to the foundational truth that simply bringing God into our thoughts, conversations, and worship changes everything. The song positions this act of remembering God as the source of strength, hope, and perspective, grounding us in His unwavering nature amidst life's shifts.
Musically, "Mention" crafts an atmosphere of reverence and anticipation. It builds layers of sound that feel both expansive and intimate, allowing space for personal reflection while simultaneously inviting communal worship. The vocal delivery carries a genuine sincerity, emphasizing the weight and wonder of the message without resorting to artifice. This is music designed not just to be heard, but to be experienced, drawing the listener into a posture of awe and dependency on the Divine. It reminds us that the very name of God is a strong tower, a refuge we can run to, as Proverbs 18:10 declares, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe." The song seems to beckon us into that very running, finding safety and strength in simply acknowledging Him.
Theologically, "Mention" resonates deeply with numerous scriptural themes. It echoes the call in Psalm 105:1, "Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples!" The song isn't merely background music; it's a directive to actively engage with God's presence through remembrance and declaration. It touches upon the truth that God's power is inherent in His being and His name, aligning with Philippians 2:9-11, where it's written that God exalted Jesus and gave him the name above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. "Mention" encourages us to tap into this immense power and authority not through our own effort, but by fixing our gaze and voice on the one who holds all power. Furthermore, the song subtly brings to mind the importance of meditating on God's works, as the psalmist does in Psalm 77:11-12, "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds." By focusing on God's "mention," the song facilitates this spiritual practice, shifting our focus from our circumstances to the unshakeable reality of God's faithfulness and capability. It is a worship piece that serves as a spiritual discipline, re-centering our hearts and minds on the One who is worthy of all praise and in whom all hope resides, compelling us to speak His name, remember His truth, and make His "mention" the most significant focus of our lives.
