Jesus Culture - Faith For It Lyrics
Lyrics
Jesus
Mighty Mountain
Get out of the way
Wake, oh, sleeper
Come out of that grave
Hey, believer
It's time to walk on waves
By the power
Of Jesus' Name
If you've got faith for it
Lift Him high
If you've got faith for it
Then testify
'Cause there's a miracle that's coming
'Cause His promises are "Yes"
If you've got faith for it
Shout "Amen!"
Lowest valley
You're gonna be raised
Jericho stronghold
You're coming down today
Hey, Goliath
You're about to be slayed
By the power
Of Jesus' Name

Jesus Culture, Derek Johnson - Faith For It (Official Live Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Jesus Culture's "Faith For It," released on July 21, 2023, as part of their album *Why Not Right Now?*, stands as a powerful anthem of spiritual declaration and unwavering conviction. The song's core message is a resounding call to believers to activate their faith, moving beyond doubt and limitation into a realm where God's promises are tangibly manifested. It articulates a belief that through the power inherent in the name of Jesus, even the most formidable challenges can be overcome and impossible situations transformed. This isn't just a hopeful sentiment; it's a defiant proclamation rooted in the transformative power of God.
The song immediately establishes a confrontational stance against obstacles, beginning with the vivid imagery of a "Mighty Mountain" being commanded to move. This directly echoes Christ's teaching in Matthew 17:20, where He states that with faith, one can command a mountain to be removed. It speaks to the idea that no problem, however immense, is too big for God. The lyric then shifts to "Wake, oh, sleeper, Come out of that grave," drawing parallels with passages like Ephesians 5:14, which calls for spiritual awakening, and recalling the resurrection power demonstrated by Jesus in raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11). This line inspires a resurgence of spiritual vitality and freedom from spiritual slumber or despair. Following this, the encouragement to "walk on waves" directly references Peter's miraculous, albeit brief, walk on water in Matthew 14:28-29, symbolizing the ability to perform supernatural feats when empowered by divine trust. Each of these challenges is met "By the power of Jesus' Name," a constant refrain that undergirds the entire song, reminding us of the authority given to believers in Philippians 2:9-11, where every knee bows to His name.
The central chorus serves as a vibrant call to action, urging anyone who possesses faith to "Lift Him high" in worship and adoration, and to "testify" to God's goodness and works. This act of testimony is a powerful biblical principle, as seen in Revelation 12:11, where believers overcome by the word of their testimony. The affirmation that "there's a miracle that's coming 'Cause His promises are 'Yes'" is a direct echo of 2 Corinthians 1:20, which assures us that all of God's promises find their "Yes" in Christ. The command to "Shout 'Amen!'" is not merely an exclamation but an active agreement and declaration of "so be it," sealing the belief in the coming miracle. This section functions as a congregational rallying cry, inviting collective participation in faith and declaration.
The subsequent verse further amplifies the theme of divine reversal and victory. "Lowest valley, You're gonna be raised" brings to mind Isaiah 40:4, a promise of restoration and elevation, signifying that God can lift those in despair and turn around dire situations. The image of the "Jericho stronghold" coming down immediately calls forth the miraculous account in Joshua 6, where the fortified city walls collapsed not by military might but through obedient faith and declaration, representing the demolition of seemingly impenetrable strongholds in our lives. Similarly, the defiant address to "Hey, Goliath, You're about to be slayed" conjures the underdog victory of David over Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, illustrating that no opponent, however daunting, is too mighty for God to conquer through His chosen vessels. Again, the bedrock of these triumphs is established as "By the power of Jesus' Name," emphasizing that the victory belongs to God.
The song builds to an emphatic bridge, a repetitive but crucial declaration: "Don't tell me that it can't be done / Don't tell me that it can't be overcome / 'Cause it can be done. Yes. It can be done." This section acts as a spiritual refusal to accept negative pronouncements, doubt, or the limitations of human reasoning. It aligns with the unwavering confidence expressed in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and Matthew 19:26, "With God all things are possible." The deliberate repetition isn is not a flaw; it's a strategic rhetorical device in worship music, designed to engrain the truth deep within the heart, allowing individuals and communities to boldly internalize and declare this truth over their circumstances. It serves to build an unshakeable conviction, transforming passive hope into active, verbalized faith, perfectly encapsulating the album's assertive title, *Why Not Right Now?*, and encouraging immediate engagement with God’s power. The song ultimately inspires a belief that with God, no challenge is truly insurmountable, and His promises are always dependable, waiting to be apprehended by a faith that dares to declare, "It can be done."
