Elevation Español releases Montes Medley with Alex Zurdo

"Montes Medley" now has a live version. Elevation Español released it with Alex Zurdo as a guest, and the recording was captured on February 28 in Charlotte, at the Night of Worship that celebrated the launch of ASÍ SERÁ.
The lyrics that speak to the mountain
The text insists on a strange scene: someone orders a mountain to move. The song repeats it plainly ("move, move") and then states the condition: having faith like a grain of mustard seed.
That's not a songwriter's whim. It comes from the lips of Jesus, and in the Gospel it sounds almost over the top: "if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move" (Matthew 17:20, ESV).
«Faith is not a coin for buying results; it is the empty hand that opens.»
Think about the proportions. A mustard seed is among the smallest things anyone plants; a mountain is among the biggest things you can see from far away. Jesus puts the smallest and the largest in a single sentence, and it's no accident. Nor is it a measure of your enthusiasm: mustard seed faith impresses no one.
Mustard seed faith, not formula faith
This is where we need to slow down. Believing is not decreeing. Biblical faith is not a technique for repeating words until the universe gives in; it is trust in someone who speaks and keeps his word.
If the mountain moves, it moves because God decides it. Faith is not a coin for buying results; it is the empty hand that opens. That's why a song like this can keep you company on an ordinary Tuesday and also on the day everything falls apart, without turning into a lucky charm.
Psalm 121 turns the gaze toward the same landscape: "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:1-2, ESV). The mountains are there, enormous, and they are not the answer. The one who made them is.
Notice the detail: the psalm doesn't say the gaze stays on the hill. It says it lifts up, and that help comes from higher up. It's a tiny difference in grammar and a huge one in life.
Your mountain has a name
The premiere event was specific: Charlotte, February 28, at the Night of Worship that Elevation Español held alongside the launch of ASÍ SERÁ. The live version can now be watched on the ministry's YouTube channel.
We all carry a mountain. Sometimes it's a debt that won't go down, sometimes a conversation you've been putting off for months, sometimes a guilt that has stuck to your name. Faith doesn't deny the size of the mountain; it changes who you talk to about it.
One practical step for this week: open a note on your phone and write your mountain's name there. No decrees, no chain phrases. You present it to God and ask him for faith, even if it feels the size of a seed.
And when "Montes Medley" comes on during your commute, at the gym, or in your room, listen with your eyes open. The promise is not that nothing will weigh on you; it is that the one who made the mountains is still listening. Which mountain needs to hear you speak to God today, and not to your fears?
