Lion by Elevation Worship

Lion is the 2022 album from Elevation Worship, the worship team out of Charlotte, North Carolina. Recorded live with a wide cast of voices, it leans into long, building moments of praise. The theme runs through the title: strength, victory, and the power of resurrection.

Why listen?

The sound is large, modern worship, drums and synths under stacked vocals and long jams. The production is full and live, with room for songs to stretch and build. The lyrics speak to power, freedom, and a God who conquers death. There is a clear arc from declaration toward release across the long set. It is bold music with a steady undercurrent of hope.

Favourite song: Same God

A long, building cry that the God of old is still near and able. Its slow climb pays off with real force.

I'm calling on the God of Jacob
Whose love endures through generations
O God, my God, I need You
O Rock, O Rock of Ages
I'm standing on Your faithfulness
On Your faithfulness

The way it builds and holds feels like a long uphill stretch that opens onto a wide, bright summit. The song answers doubt with the memory of past faithfulness. That long build is what has stayed with me.

Key takeaway

Lion is a long, bold live worship record about power and resurrection. A big, energising listen.
