I know many of you were bummed when the Antioch leadership decided not to do a CD for World Mandate 2007. I respected that decision and am content with the World Mandate CDs I already have. One song by James Mark Gully though I really loved. It is called Jesus is the Lord and it is one of my favorite songs. Well Antioch has just released that song in a royalty free download from their website.
Story Behind the Song (from the Antioch website)
“Robert Fuller, our college worship pastor, walked into my office one day with half of a verse and half of a chorus. Immediately, I said, “We need to finish this song together.” The result is an anthem that declares that Jesus will receive the reward due for His sacrifice: the worship of people from every nation and tribe. It is a song of humble, passionate adoration of Jesus in all His glory. Both of us are amazed at what God has done through “Jesus is the Lord” at Antioch, and so we wanted to make it available to you here as a gift. May you offer it back to Jesus with a heart wholly given to Him.”
James Mark Gulley, Pastor of Worship & Arts
I wondered where that song came from. Wow, Praise the Lord! Thanks for posting such an inspirational song on your blog.
This is such an awesome song. JMG and Robert Fuller are incredible talents…
Just heard this wonderful song at a Tres Dias retreat in Texas. What a blessing it was, Thank You Jesus…..
This song is so powerful, it opens the door for the Holy Spirit to come instantly! I am fortunate to be part of a church plant from Antioch in the Boston area, Community of Faith Christian Fellowship and met James Mark at our recent World Mandate. Praise the Lord for His body!

What A song it is,is shows the Jesus love and effection to us,He Is The ONLY Way In Our LIFE
We did that song for worship one time, and the presence of God leveled the room. It was powerful, the thickness of his presence was so heavy that I could barely sit in my drum throne. Is there any way someone could send me an mp3 of that song? I wish I could have downloaded it when it was available (the one from 2007).

This song is SO ANOINTED ! It lifts up the LORD Jesus in His triumph over all opposition and declares His Name ABOVE all others ! … we love to sing this song here in Cebu since we first discovered it just recently ! It is both worship and a powerful declaration. I hope it becomes widely used throughout the Body of Christ. JESUS IS THE LORD OVER all. DECLARE IT ! Make known His glory and His Name !
