SPEAKER_04 14:45

On the show we have Michael Austin Harris. Welcome to the program. You are, you are. Ten years ago, you had your own solo project out, and it was that I was really interested in what you were doing. And then I kind of took a hold of you.

SPEAKER_03 15:05

Yeah, um journey because I released uh that solo record as you said in uh 2016. Um now at that time, um, I was four years into uh a church plant called Kingdom Land. It's interesting because our church actually started as a plant from a worship ministry. And so worship is really in the DNA, and music is really in the DNA of our church community. Um the first time that we came together, um uh we uh like a handful of guys around six guys, and uh then we headed into a time of prayer, and in that time of prayer, a good friend of mine who plays a keyboard, he decided to play some chords underneath what another brother was praying, and that's how the genesis of this record came about. I heard a song, and that song became free chord, which is on the project, and uh that song has a whole other story.

SPEAKER_04 16:02

How many times have you been in the place where free worship has caused a song to come forward?

SPEAKER_07 17:39

And we'll respond. We say yes. Oh yes, we say yes, yes to your will, yes to your ways, all I have for you is yes. When you speak, there are miracles. I believe when you speak, they impossible. I believe when you speak.

SPEAKER_04 22:01

Okay, Michael, let's talk about another song. Nobody else. Talk about nobody else. I mean it's a corporate worship of the phone. As opposed to if you were to listen to it in your car. What is the dynamic?

SPEAKER_03 22:16

Yeah, so nobody else is great. And you're right, it is uh uh probably of all the phones on the record, probably the the easiest in terms of for corporate uh corporate worship. Um easiest thing anyway. That song uh came from uh a rehearsal uh that we were doing right before service as we were rehearsing, uh my my my guitarist started. Keyboard I started to play this rip, and I was just like, this is a song. So it's really cool how even when we you know even when we rehearse, God can if we're listening, God can interrupt those times and say, yeah, I know that you guys are about to rehearse for a set, but I'm giving you something. There it is! I be God, he be God. So yeah, I remember um that coming together in terms of I heard these uh lyrics, nobody else is greater, nobody else is stronger than you, uh, nobody else is higher, nobody else Messiah but you. And then the chorus says, You are my everything, and I worship you, I worship you. Uh you are my everything, Jesus, you are. And so it's a really uh it's an up tempo, fun, fast uh declaration.

SPEAKER_07 23:32

Nobody else is great, nobody else is high than you.

SPEAKER_10 23:44

There's nobody else. Nobody else beside But you love you.

SPEAKER_07 23:59
