United Pursuit’s Break Every Chain is a great song for believers. It glorifies God in that it magnifies the reach and power of His might. Many will wonder why God doesn’t break their chains and find it difficult to follow Jesus because He doesn’t, but that is a question that is beyond this song’s lyrics and the interpretation therein, yet, United Pursuit’s lyrics bring these inquiries to the forefront. I have qualms about their interpretation of the army that United Pursuit communicates. Unbelievers will be quick to understand that it’s a Christian song about the crucifixion of Jesus, though not comprehending its transforming power. How would an outsider interpret the song? It is us, the body of believers, who can invoke the name of Jesus to break chains, just like the early church did in Acts 3:6, Acts 3:12-16, and Acts 4:30. Repeats Chorus, line 4, but in a different context. That is, the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:17, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, and Ephesians 4:1-16). The gates are wide in the sense that salvation is available to everyone who asks (Romans 10:1-13). It was His love for us that caused Jesus to pay for our sins (John 3:16 and Romans 5:6-8), redeeming us (John 3:16, Romans 5:6-8, 1 Corinthians 6:20, Hebrews 5:9, Hebrews 9:28, 1 Peter 1:18-19, 1 John 1:9, and 1 John 2:2). Our redemption, Heaven’s gates swing wide Repeats Chorus, including a repeated fourth line.
It is in His name that demons are removed, people are healed, and lives are saved (Mark 16:17, Luke 10:17, Acts 3:6, Acts 3:12-16, Acts 4:30, Romans 10:13, Romans 10:19, and Philippians 2:9-11). To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture?Īll of it is in agreement with Scripture. It leaves room for the will of God, even if it doesn’t state it explicitly. The power is there, but it makes no absolute assertions that guarantee a positive outcome. Jesus’ name can demolish strongholds, but doesn’t state that everyone will experience it. Jesus’ sacrifice is sufficient, but doesn’t claim that everyone will receive it. The difference between the statement “there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain” and the Word of Faith kind of “ Everyone will be healed” sort of claims is that this song focuses on potential, not on the result. He offers liberation freely to anyone willing to receive it. His sacrifice for our lawbreaking is sufficient to save us. What message does the song communicate?Ĭhrist’s name is powerful! He can break the spiritual bonds that hold us back from following Him. Note to new users: This is a different kind of review site! Read About the Berean Test and Evaluation Criteria prior to reading this review. They released a total of 17 combined albums and EP’s, including:Īlso, see my reviews of Fill Me Up and Nothing I Hold Onto. It eventually led to a full-fledged band, with several album releases, concerts, and inclusion in Billboard’s list! Starting with a house purchase in 2006 in Knoxville, Tennessee, United Pursuit (formerly known as Will Reagan & United Pursuit) hoped to attract youth to win them for Christ through music.
