Few songs in recent memory have captured the power of living in Christ like “I Speak Jesus.” It is a declaration of victory, a commitment to persevere, and an anthem of faith in God. The most popular recording of “I Speak Jesus” is of Charity Gayle and Steven Musso, but it was originally released by Here Be Lions in 2019, and the songwriters behind this hit are Abby Benton, Carlene Prince, Dustin Smith, Jesse Reeves, Kristen Dutton, and Raina Pratt.
This is a powerful and deeply moving song. It exalts the power of Jesus and declares his name into all kinds of circumstances. We can and should speak the name of Jesus often and in many different ways! I just hope that we’re teaching our congregations to speak his name reverently in prayer, declaration, and invitation rather than presumptuously as a magic word of faith.
