We Are Messengers’ song “Everyting Comes Alive” is based on Ephesians 2:1-5

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—“

This is the Scripture passage that lead singer Darren Mulligan personally takes to heart as he wrote this song, celebrating his new life in Christ.  “If you imagine your life as a day, what does the Gospel look like?” Mulligan asks, adding that he tried to encapsulate 24 hours as a representation of life with Jesus into this three-minute song. “I was so dead in my sin, but when I acknowledged who I was and who God is, I came alive.”

Once in a while, God sends us songs like this to remind us to make our lives count for the Gospel.
