u2n4-1E4zdIGroves, Assad, Holcomb, Propaganda & Seay Collaborate on Worship Song Ross Cluver July 12, 2019 Sara Groves, Audrey Assad, Ellie Holcomb, Propaganda and Robbie Seay Band have joined forces for a unique worship anthem inspired by International Justice Mission (IJM). The result of the collaboration is this powerful new worship song, “Behold.” The unlikely pairing was unveiled at IJM’s Liberate Conference which marked 20 years of impactful work around the globe advocating for victims of human trafficking and other forms of violence against the poor. Propaganda, Seay and Groves co-wrote “Behold” two months prior with the intention of capturing the spirit and theme of the event—“Behold, I am doing a new thing, even now I am coming. Do you see it?” Watch the video here: “I have been a fan of Robbie Seay for years and I am completely blown away by Propaganda on all fronts,” shares Groves, a long-time supporter of IJM. “Going in, I wondered how we would navigate coming from different musical spaces—worship leader, singer/songwriter, hip hop artist—but we were at the Art House where all kinds of fusion have occurred over the years—over everything, there was generosity. It didn’t really come together until we were all together again at the event – to watch that happen in the moment was pretty powerful.” Aligning with the song drop is a live performance video intermixed with captures of the critical work of IJM. “Behold” Lyrics: Behold Behold Behold I am doing a new thing I am doing a new thing Yeah Accomplice accomplice Yeah accomplice Hey accomplice accomplice Let me address the accomplices Us walking contradictions Because If mission was accomplished We’d find ourselves jobless You can scoff at priests who left victims on side of road or Celebrate half breed that got down on bended knee But, who asking the real question Why so much madness happened on Damascus road Behold Why so much madness happened on Damascus road Behold Yeah Accomplice accomplice Lemme address the accomplice You should be careful to live in the light of the things that God accomplished Let me whisper co conspirator You a clandestine weapon You are somethin to invest in You a refugee in rescuing You can stand upon that ground You could slide up on ya knees You ain’t run away from the pain You ran into the screams You can go plant your flag Y’all done chanted down Babylon Go on embrace it Go on redeem it Welcome freedoms Welcome me Behold And when tomorrow came callin You ain’t run from the scream He did a new thing with you and me Hey and when tomorrow came calling He did a new thing and He did it with you and me Behold Behold we are a people of many troubles Raised up in violence strife and war We are a people of tears and toil Behold we are your people you call us home Raised up in mercy grace and love We are a people of life and hope And as we gather At your mountain Holy holy Glory glory We lift our eyes, we lift our eyes All is made new Behold, we are a people of deep conviction Raised up in Jesus by His grace We are a people for time and place As we gather At your mountain Holy holy Glory glory We lift our eyes, we lift our eyes All is made new Holy holy Glory glory We lift our eyes we lift our eyes Behold Behold Behold Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
