SONG BACKSTORY: Last fall God took me into a very heavy, prophetic vision as I was standing at my keyboard. I saw a dancing mist rise up from a great expanse of rolling landscape. God turned my neck to show me a vast and formidable fleet of ships at sea. Many of these ships were closing in, and countless others were coming on the horizon. Superimposed upon the waters I saw tribes converging from every direction. Some yielded to other tribes in timing, but they all continued to move ahead together as their ranks strengthened and grew larger. A cadence of war drums began to shake the ground, splitting open the heavens in a fierce and magnificent display of unrestrained glory! And then last week, Dutch Sheets released a word that confirmed my vision, the exact timing it required to finish this song. Everything you hear was recording spontaneously in the moment, as God downloaded each layer into my spirit.

I received this vision and immediately started recording it on 10/10/2020. We saved our final edits at 12:12 AM. The song is 13:13 (it may display differently.) And it was the 52nd song we had queued up to mix down. Absolutely none of these dates or numbers was intentional.

This is a Holy Moment

As I stand here now there's hallowed ground beneath my feet. I can hear You talking to me. I can hear You talking to me. You are welcome here, Your cadence stirs my soul. Your breakthrough fills my hope. Your breakthrough fills my hope.


As you call me deeper, You invite me to the ledge, where my faith builds the bridge, my faith builds the bridge. Though my legs are burning I am willing to keep learning. I'll walk across this water. I'll walk across this water with You.


This is a holy moment, a reformation moment, to rise up in who I am, to live in Your power. It's a defining moment, a beautiful shining moment, to be a watchman on the wall, Your mouthpiece where you call. This is a reset button. This is a strategy summons, to wear those shoes that You gave me, the ones that You sized me for. It's time to build muscles. It's time to get humble, so what You say I do, to break the chains [of every shackle.]


As my burdens fall off I can dance above these waves. I am not afraid. I am not afraid. There is nothing left of me, take everything You need. Take all of me. Lord use all of me.


I'm learning so much as I rest here, as I rest here. I'm getting lighter as I prepare here, as I prepare here. I'm getting stronger as I receive here, as I receive here. I'm going deeper as I see here, as I see here. You're showing Your blueprint, as I rest here, as I rest here. You're cutting the weights off, as I prepare here, as I prepare here. You're tipping Your arrows, and I receive here, and I receive here. You're fine tuning my vision, as I see here, as I see here.

Ava's Song

© 9/12/07 Nicki Black

Dedicated to Ava Cadeau, here on earth for only a few short hours before going into the arms of Jesus. Much love to you Ava, Carla, Mark, and Nate.




My eyes have cried a thousand tears in your name

My knees have seen the fire and the flame

My heart breaks into a shattered refrain

Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come




The night that i see has no ending for me

like roots that go down to the earth from the trees

You're a star that exists, but one I can't see

Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come




The walls that surround me are hollow inside

and the glass house i live in is cloudy and dry

There's no color or light, only wings that can't fly

Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come




I'd climb all the mountains, I'd swim all the seas

I'll do anything just to have you with me

This life is a prison, I want to be free

Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come




I dream of the day when the winds softly blow

and tell me the things that i struggle to know

Drifting away, my thoughts overflow

Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come




Dance again, here I am, silent and small

I'm making it through this each hour after all

I made you a promise I'd try not to fall

Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come




I linger and touch you once more in my dreams

I know what the smile on your lips sweetly mean

The goodbye we say is temporary

Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come

Urgent Prayer

Copyright 9/9/01 Nicki Black

- Instrumental.

On September 9th, 2001, I was summoned out of a deep sleep during the middle of the night. I remember that the hour was sometime between 3:00 and 4:00 AM. The God of Israel pressed an urgency for me to go to my keyboard, which I did. He said to press the record button, and just play what He led me to play. I had niether heard, practiced, nor composed any bit of this song before this moment, and I recall very vividly the picture He showed me as I played. It was me standing alone, yet with Him also, on the top of a huge rocky outcropping, on the edge of a large body of water, like an ocean. The violent waves were crashing over the rocks, pouring over my feet as I stood there in a hushed silence, watching and waiting for something ominous and impending from the other side of that body of water. I stopped playing when He released me, and said 'it is finished.' I turned off the keyboard and went back to sleep.

This was 2 days before the events of 9/11. Urgent Prayer has never been mixed in the studio, added to, nor edited. What you hear now is exactly as I played it on September 9th, 2001.

Bear On - Copyright © 4/1/05 Nicki Black

Fear not, I have redeemed you

I’ve called you out by name

When you pass through the raging waters

They’ll flow below and you’ll be saved

And when the flames seem unforgiving

Walk through the fire to your reward

Fear not I have redeemed you

I am your God, I am the Lord

< chorus >

I gave the nations as your ransom

Cush and Seba in your stead

And to my people that I have gathered

Understand that I am He

Apart from me there is no other

No foreign gods from foreign lands

You are my witnesses; I am your Father

Deliverance is in my hands

< chorus >

Forget the past and look before you

See that I’m doing brand new things

I’m giving water to the thirsty

In your deserts I’ll bring you springs

And though I’ve watched you try without me

Your silence is void of sacrifice

I’ve forgotten your offenses

I am your God, I am the Lord

< chorus >

Bear on through the desert, bear on through the fire

Bear on through this season, to the place where you belong

Bear on through the mountain, and down the other side

Bear on to the glory, where vict'ry's magnified

Acts 2

In the last days He will pour out His Spirit

Our sons and daughters will prophecy

Young men will see visions to lead them

Old men will dream behind closed eyes


And He will show the wonders in Heaven above

And all the signs on earth will rise

And as the sun turns black, and the moon crimson red

God’s people cry out and multiply



He saw the Lord, and He was standing before him

David saw it all

And now because I’m free, I will not be shaken

Jesus Christ I exalt you


Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit

Fill me up and sanctify

Holy Spirit, Come Holy Spirit

I bow down, repent, and glorify
