Since I was 18, I’ve had a fascination of sorts with people who gave it all for their faith. Praying and thinking about these people helps me in my own commitment and worship of our Savior. My heart burns with a passion for the heroes of the faith that defy earthly logic and priorities and declare the name of Jesus in the face of persecution.

“We Will” was birthed out of a time of prayer for Iran where church leaders have been killed for their faith. A good friend of mine, David Yeghnazar, is a leader at Elam Ministries. Elam is a mission focused on reaching Iran with the gospel, and they initiated and helped lead 40 Days of Prayer for Iran.

After this time of prayer, David called me one afternoon. He asked if I’d be willing to write a song to capture the heart of the last 40 Days. I was humbled by his request and told him I would give it a shot.

As I sat down to write, the chords and melody just began to come. It became evident that God was calling out to us. I wanted to answer, “We will.” The song was flowing from my heart. Singing this for the first time was special for me. It felt as if the Lord was drawing something out of me that had been stirring for some time.

What began as a song about one nation became a cry for all nations where our brothers and sisters are chasing after God through their persecution. They say in these countries that the Church is built on the blood of the martyrs. My prayer is that this song would be useful in encouraging our congregations to pray, both corporately and individually, for these brave believers and the Church family worldwide
