Here is my final Creative Project for the Essentials Blue Course. It is a song called “We Dare to Believe.”
To be honest, this is a song that I wrote a little while back, but I have continually been led back to these lyrics throughout the duration of this course. So maybe my writing of this song was somewhat prophetic – pointing ahead to a season in life where I would fully understand the impact and meaning behind the words I wrote. And Essentials Blue has definitely fueled and deepened my passion to claim God’s promise of new creation.
Themes of this course sprout up continually in these lyrics. It is a song that awakens our hearts to hunger for justice. It is a song that longs for a new revelation of the kingdom of God. It is a communal song, meant to be sung amidst the church body as we together lay claim to the promises of the Scriptures.
Let me know what you think.

We Dare to Believe
We will not be silent anymore
of the wounds that ache us
We will not fall victim anymore
To the lie that enslaves us
We need your mercy to fall on the broken
to rest on the weary soul
We need a breakthrough in power and freedom
to set free our prisoned hope
(chorus)
We dare to believe
We dare to believe
That you’ll do what you said you would do
We’re down on our knees
We’re down on our knees
This can’t be how you meant it to be
We long to see
We long to see
A new release of your promise
Let your kingdom come
We will not be idle anymore
While this need surrounds us
We will choose to live our faith once more
In the lives of those around us
Impart your vision for bold transformation
In lost and forgotten lands
Drive our knees to bend low and contend
For the lives of our fellow man

Krista,
Lift that voice, girl. Thank you – a piece rich with words of just desire and bold prayers.
Well done,
