Leeland shares the official music video for “Jacob’s Ladder” feat. Rita Springer. The track is from the duo’s latest album, City of God, which dropped earlier this year.

‘City of God’ unpacks three layers of the project’s foundational Scripture in songs of hope for the midst of trouble, songs of intimacy and safety, and songs of God’s justice. Initially sparked in the chaos of the pandemic, the inspiration is for it to be a prophetic oeuvre making space for meditation.

It also captures the profound power of art to invite people inside a divine world brought alive through music, pushing conversations around artistic pursuit forward within the Church.

Jacob’s Ladder – Leeland Feat. Rita Springer

Leeland infuse beauty and truth into the culture through their new project, re-telling stories of old with sharp creative flair. They embody a priestly and innovative dynamic as ‘City of God’ strikes the balance between a conceptual album and a trailblazing, congregational source of new songs for the Church of today. They hope these new songs will inspire the people of God back to the treasures of Scriptures and the mysteries of God’s ways. “We pray this album helps open a new window into the glory of God; that we would get a vision of Jesus and hear him say ‘fear not, stand up and let me show you the things that are to come,’” Mooring concludes.

City Of God is available now.

The genesis of LEELAND’s new album ‘City of God’ came from their desire to fearlessly explore a pastoral and prophetic voice of worship where songs are sung together and over the people of God.

The 11 new songs are centred around the thematic of Psalm 46 through thoughtful and innovative songwriting. Recorded in a live rehearsal room with no audience but special guest artists including TAYA, Charity Gayle, Rita Springer, Vanessa Hill, and Lauren Strahm (Fleurie), an expansive soundscape is captured on each of the new songs.

The album’s title refers to the Church, the people of God that make up his coming Kingdom and dwelling place in society here and now, pointing to the hope of the heavenly Jerusalem.

City of God – LEELAND

LEELAND introduce ‘You’re Not Done’, the fourth single from their 2023 album ‘City of God’. The newest song from the Texas-based band is deep in compassion and in hope, filled with the resurrection power of Christ.

‘You’re Not Done’ is driven by defining lyrics: “If you still have breath in your lungs, you’re not done […]” These words dropped into lead singer Leeland Mooring’s lap as he sat at his piano, processing the recent miraculous recovery of a close friend who fought for his life during the pandemic.

As this person was slipping in and out of consciousness, they recalled hearing Leeland’s voice singing assuming someone had one of the band’s CD’s playing though they never were. “I was overwhelmed by the goodness of God and the real struggle we face in the midst of death,”

Leeland comments. ‘You’re Not Done’ doesn’t deny the sorrow and suffering of the human experience, but meets it with the presence of the Author of life. LEELAND’s new catchy single screams hope in the face of defeat, reminding the listener that each breath we are given is proof of God’s good plan of redemption.

‘You’re Not Done’ is an expansive track with slight country-pop accents and an overall sense of healing truth being sung over the Church. “It’s simple, if you are breathing, you are not finished,” LEELAND conclude, “may we be able to say like [the apostle] Paul that to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

“You’re Not Done” is available now.

LEELAND present ‘Ark’, the third single from their recently announced upcoming album. The new single features Vanessa Hill, whose vibrant vocals soulfully intertwine with frontman Mooring’s unique tone.

‘Ark’ is a storytelling, soul-rock track delving into God’s perspective of Noah in the midst of preparing for a new world. LEELAND expand their listeners’ biblical imagination with a creative twist on the well-known story, and simultaneously bring it to life for this time in history.

 This concept defines their upcoming album, ‘City of God’, which LEELAND keep building up to with songs that blend mellow, energetic, flavorful, and groovy tones. ‘Ark’ is a poetic track, taking worship beyond a familiar soundscape and into the Texas-based musical and spiritual universe.

“Ark” is available now.

LEELAND release the second single from their recently announced upcoming album. After their return to the worship scene with ‘Heart & Flesh’ featuring Australian artist TAYA last month, the Texas-based band release ‘Still Mighty’.

The new single is an atmospheric, Psalm-like, rock-infused track delving into the sure Presence of the Lord in the midst of the suffering that’s intrinsic to life. LEELAND introduce a fresh soundscape that takes their signature alternative worship style to new levels of creativity.

With a driving bass line, crisp drums, and band leader Leeland Mooring’s smooth vocals alongside a vibrant choir, ‘Still Mighty’ is only the beginning of the groundbreaking songs yet to come from LEELAND.

“Still Mighty” is available now.

LEELAND introduce ‘Heart & Flesh’, the debut single from their new album ‘City of God’. ‘Heart & Flesh’, inspired by Psalm 84, features a haunting melody led by LEELAND and TAYA.

This is the first feature from TAYA outside of Hillsong and her own self-titled successful debut album. The new song was written by Leeland Mooring, Taya Gaukrodger, and Casey Moore and it exists to remind the People of God that He is in the middle of the chaos and upheaval in our lives.

‘Heart & Flesh’ resonates in the tension, that though we cannot always change our circumstances, we can focus on the One who can.

The new single carries the conceptual and musical core of LEELAND’s forthcoming album, introducing listeners to the fresh space in which the trailblazing Houston-based band have been living and creating for the past two years.

“Heart & Flesh – LEELAND ” is available now.

Show Me Your Glory (Live) Ft. Leeland by Brandon Lake off his latest musical project House of Miracles (Live).

For Brandon Lake, “House of Miracles (Live)” is much more than an album, it’s the prayer of his life. His prayer is that every home in the world would become a house of miracles. Every heart is a hosting place of the Spirit of God, intricately designed to experience miracles. The songs were written to be conduits of hope for every person who listens. Compiled of some of the best songs from the studio album as well as some new ones, the live album also features many special guests.

Here I am, here you are
I give all of me for all of You
I don’t want to move or leave
Unless You, unless You go with me

One thing I ask, one thing I seek
Show me Your glory
You’re all I want, You’re all I need
Show me Your glory

You are good, good to me
With every step, I’ll let Your spirit lead
Valleys low or on mountain peaks
I’ll follow You, ‘cause I know You never leave

How deep, how wide
Show me Your glory
My heart and flesh cry
Show me Your glory

SPONTANEOUS 1
You’re all I want, You’re all I need
You’re all I seek, my everything

American Christian rock band Leeland takes Sinach’s “WAY MAKER” to a whole different level in their very first Live Album Better Word.

The Better Word album which was released 13th september is basically a 12-song worship experience, captured earlier this year during a gathering of fellow worshipers at Christ For The Nations (CFN) in Dallas, Texas.

WAY MAKER has actually enjoyed quite a number of covers, remakes and remixes. It’s really amazing having Leeland’s rendition on the worship antheme.
