WorshipMob - Command My Soul Lyrics
Lyrics
I will live my faith and not by sight
Cause Your ways are higher then mine
I will submit to Your design
I will lift my eyes
I will lift my eyes
Where does my help come from
My help comes from the Lord
The one who holds the stars
The keeper of my heart
I command my soul to sing
Cause You have given me authority
And I wanna see the way You see me
I’m Your chosen one
I’m Your chosen one
Even in the fire
Even in the flood
I am not forgotten
I am loved
I command my soul to sing
(Even in the fire!)
I command my soul to sing
(Even in the flood!)

From co-author Emma Graham:
The intentionality of God is one of my favorite things about Jesus. Like the song says, His ways are Higher then ours. None of us pictured the year we had last year in 2020, but God deposited this song in Jen and I back before the pandemic in February and His timing is perfect and now is the time for this song to be released!
God has given me revelation of our authority, and I believe in this hour we will see the greatest move of a company of people who know who they are in God! When we know who we are; we walk a little more confident and stand a little bit straighter. I believe this song will bring people deliverance - in breaking off depression, anxiety, and heart wounds from this last year. Where people have felt stuck in their praise and in their identity and ability to worship from a place of freedom; this song will be a breaker song for you! I believe God is also depositing a deeper revelation of the fathers heart of love and delight over us all. He is the best Dad and we can rest and trust in Him. Blessings to you all! You are loved and adored by the King of all Heaven!

From co-author Jen Halvorsen:
“Command my Soul” was God-inspired and gifted to us. We were blessed with an opportunity to shine for Jesus, and it was meant for such a time as this. I remember the season I was walking in, and God opened doors to meet Emma. He blessed us with a friendship and trusted us to write together. I know that through all trials and in every moment, I have to praise God - even when it’s hard, and even when it hurts. I trust and know that He hasn’t left or forsaken me, not ever. He is faithful.

Meaning & Inspiration
WorshipMob's "Command My Soul," released in 2021 as part of the album *Spirit and Truth*, is a profound declaration of faith and surrender set to music. The song emerges from a place of deep spiritual conviction, aiming to empower listeners with the understanding of their inherent authority in Christ, particularly during challenging seasons. Co-authors Emma Graham and Jen Halvorsen recount how this song was divinely deposited with them prior to the widespread impact of the pandemic, highlighting its prescient timing and God's perfect orchestration. The core message of "Command My Soul" revolves around the believer's commitment to live by faith rather than by what the eyes can see, acknowledging that God's perspectives and plans are infinitely grander than our own. This sentiment echoes the wisdom found in Isaiah 55:8-9, which states, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." The lyrics encourage a willing submission to God's divine design, a theme deeply rooted in the biblical principle of trusting God’s sovereignty even when circumstances are unclear.
The song powerfully articulates the source of strength and help, declaring, "My help comes from the Lord, The one who holds the stars, The keeper of my heart." This is a direct affirmation of Psalm 121:1-2, which promises, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." The acknowledgment of God as the creator and sustainer of all things reinforces His ultimate authority and His intimate knowledge and care for each individual heart. The central exhortation, "I command my soul to sing," is not a plea for help but a powerful assertion of dominion granted by God. This arises from the revelation of authority given to believers, enabling them to actively engage their spirit and will in worship, regardless of outward feelings or external pressures. This concept aligns with the teachings in Luke 10:19, where Jesus tells His disciples, "I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." Therefore, commanding one's soul to sing is an act of spiritual warfare and intentional praise, a demonstration of the authority Christ has bestowed.
The song further assures listeners of God's unwavering presence and love, even amidst adversity: "Even in the fire, Even in the flood, I am not forgotten, I am loved." This profound truth is a cornerstone of Christian hope, mirroring the promises of God’s steadfast love and protection. Passages like Romans 8:38-39 boldly declare, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." The authors emphasize that this song was intended to be a "breaker song," facilitating deliverance from the burdens of depression, anxiety, and emotional wounds that can hinder one’s ability to worship freely and stand firm in their identity. They believe it is meant to usher in a deeper understanding of God's fatherly love and delight over His children, encouraging rest and trust in Him. Ultimately, "Command My Soul" serves as an anthem for believers to actively choose worship, recognizing their God-given authority and resting in the assurance of His everlasting love and faithfulness, particularly in difficult times.
