After a year of worshiping together, the current line-up—comprised of brothers Joel, Gabe and Seth Davis and Jonathan Thomas—was solidified.

With their own hearts yearning to see the kingdom of God established on Earth as it is in heaven, the band desires to impact the body of Christ through bringing the reality of the Father's presence, life, and love to every gathering, while promoting a genuine relationship with God in the midst of their worship—and they have done just that.

Everywhere they go, they experience greater depths of joy, and a release of the prophetic in the local church. They hear testimonies of miracles and healing taking place in their worship services and authentic life changes coming as a result of God’s presence. Their desire to meet with Him has resulted in genuine worship, changing not only their lives but the lives of those who experience God through their music.

Performing first on the familiar stage of their home church, City Church of Tampa Bay, and sister venue, The Porch, the band soon began receiving interest in leading regional worship events. They have been called on for worship services, camps, events and conferences for youth, college and adult audiences and completed two national tours off their debut album, Ben Davis EP.

With many tours to come and their first full length worship album to be released June 21st on new label Come&Live! the coming year has many blessings in sight for the band.

Spend It All
Ascend The Hill Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I open up my eyes oh Lord, to see all the things You've done
I open up my heart oh God, to feel Your unfailing love
I open up my all to You, all my life for Your glory shown
I open up my soul to You alone, come make yourself at home
And I'll give all I have left to give
Cause it's everything I am, Lord
And this life I'll spend it all for You
I'll waste it all on You

I offer up my mind to You, I long for the truth You know
I offer up my feet to You, they'll walk straight on the path You show
I offer up my time to You, so keep me and hold me still
I offer up my hands to You, Lord use them to do Your will
Let Your Spirit take me over God,
Cause it's all I'll ever need, yeah You're all I'll ever need Lord

Receive this life an offering God
Cause I've spent it all on You, yeah I'll spend it all on You God
