I wrote a new song the other day. Trying to do a little more of that. This song doesn’t have a name yet, so we will just call it unnamed song.

I wanted to share the reasoning behind the song because it is so powerful if we realize what we are singing about. What I love about a song is that what was just one person’s thought can so easily become the thought of many. It even goes beyond a thought. People hear a song on the radio or go to church and sing and agree about that thought, all at the same time! Pretty powerful!

Do you know what’s inside of you
Do you know what you can do
Change the world with just one touch

What does this even mean?

I was sitting in a breakout session with Eric Geiger, the guy who wrote Simple Church. I remember he quoted Matthew 16:18 and went on to explain the power of this verse. It says,

“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”

He went on to describe that nothing can overpower the church. He gave the example of a car going 70mph at one of those little gates that are just a piece of wood. You know the ones that raise when security approves you. I’m sure you have seen a movie where a car just plows through those and the wood has no chance.

Now, imagine the gate is the church. Evil power is the car coming at 70mph. The difference between the movie you saw and what the Bible says is this: The car is stopped dead in its tracks!

What a powerful visual he gave of the power of the church! What is beautiful is that the church is not a building. The church is made up believers of Christ! That means that if you are Christian, that power resides in you!

Now if you and I could really learn to live these words:

Do you know what’s inside of you
Do you know what you can do
Change the world with just one touch
