Two weeks ago, Elevation Worship, the multi-GRAMMY® nominated, multi-GMA Dove Award® winning, and Billboard No. 1 charting group announced the March 4th release of their upcoming album, LION, alongwith its first single, “Same God.”Today, the group drops the project’s second single, “What I See,” accompanied by a live video. Listen to the song and watch the video HERE.

Led by Chris Brown, “What I See” is an upbeat song they’ve been singing at church for a while now. As the second track on the album, it starts off with energetic guitars and as Brown shares, “The song is a heart-pounding wake-up call that all things are possible with God and resurrection is still happening today!”
The group also announced today that they will be kicking off their spring arena tour, Elevation Nights, on April 26. Each evening will bring the experience of Elevation Church to arenas, featuring a message from Steven Furtick and music from Elevation Worship. Tickets go on sale to the public on February 9. For more information, visit ElevationNights.com.

In the last two years alone, Elevation Worship has broken barriers for the worship genre, celebrating multiple No. 1 songs at radio, three nominations for the 2022 GRAMMY Awards, two 2021 Billboard Music Awards (Top Christian Artist and Top Christian Song), and four 2021 GMA Dove Awards. The new album follows the highly-acclaimed Graves Into Gardens (2020) and special collaboration project Old Church Basement (2021) with Maverick City Music. It was the groundbreaking songs on these albums that paved the way for the musical diversity that is represented on LION, their 14th album, a musical blend that creates intimate moments of worship to high-powered anthems.

Brown adds, “This project was written and recorded at different times over the last year and really covers a broad spectrum of moments captured in our church worship. Some of these songs really surprised us in the writing rooms, which led us to some very special moments in recording them – both in the studio and live in church. The process of making this album has been unlike any other we’ve had. And I hope every new song touches hearts in a powerful way.”

After the success of the Fall 2021 Elevation Nights Tour, Elevation Worship and Steven Furtick are back to lift your spirits with a message of faith, hope and love.

“Our first time out with Elevation Nights was really special because we were able to just hold church service each night, only amplified A LOT,” says Chris Brown of Elevation Worship. “Having Pastor Steven bring a word that encourages our faith and getting to worship all together again makes these nights much more than a concert.”

Audiences can sign up for the exclusive pre-sale now at elevationnights.com. Tickets go on sale to the public on Wednesday, February 9th at 10:00 a.m. local time.

“We are so excited and expectant for another round of amazing nights of ministry with Elevation Worship and Steven Furtick,” says Premier Productions VP of Global Touring Jonathan Roberts. “Elevation Church were some of the first groups to go out and fill up arenas in the Fall of 2021, and it’s reflective of the impact their ministry has made and continues to make. It’s all for the purpose of advancing the Kingdom and bringing the hope of Jesus to the masses. We are honored to partner with them.”

This tour is a full worship experience as Furtick preaches and Elevation Worship leads some of their hit songs including “Graves Into Gardens,” “RATTLE!,” “Do It Again,” “The Blessing” and others. The eight-city arena tour will kick-off on April 26 in Chicago, Ill., and will stop in Grand Rapids, Mich., Indianapolis, Ind., Columbus, Ohio, Washington DC, Reading, Pa., and Newark, N.J., before the final show on May 5 in Boston, Mass.

Co-written by Steven Furtick, Chris Brown, Brandon Lake, and Pat Barrett and featuring Elevation Worship’s Jonsal Barrientes, this soaring and powerful ballad speaks to the faithfulness of God.

“He is unchanged in His wisdom, His power, His goodness, and His generosity toward us,” explains Elevation Worship’s Chris Brown. “I hope the song portrays His character and nature in a way that takes people on a journey and reminds people that we’re a part of a great cloud of witnesses that have seen this same faithful God make good on His promises to the generations before us, and those to come after.”

“Jireh” Lyrics:
I’ll never be more loved than I am right now
Wasn’t holding You up so there’s nothing I can do to let You down
Doesn’t take a trophy to make You proud
I’ll never be more loved than I am right now

Going through a storm but I won’t go down
I hear Your voice carried in the rhythm of the wind to call me out
You would cross an ocean so I wouldn’t drown
You’ve never been closer than You are right now

Jireh You are enough
Jireh You are enough
I will be content in every circumstance
Jireh You are enough

Don’t wanna forget how I feel right now
On the mountaintop I can see so clear what it’s all about
Stay by my side when the sun goes down
Don’t wanna forget how I feel right now

I’m already loved
I’m already chosen
I know who I am
I know what You’ve spoken
I’m already loved
More than I could imagine
And that is enough

That is enough
You are enough
So I am enough

If He dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor
How much more will He clothe you
How much more will He clothe you
If He watches over every sparrow
How much more does He love you
How much more does He love you

“Worthy” lyrics:
Worthy is your name
Jesus
You deserve the praise
Worthy is your name

Be exalted now in the heavens
As your glory fills this place
You alone deserve our praise
You’re the name above all names

“Worthy” was written by Steven Furtick, Chris Brown, Mack Brock
