The Tribe never released music to the mainstream, secular market but remained consistently popular among proponents of contemporary Christian music. The band went through various incarnations that included various members including Cameron Dante, Andy Hawthorne, Lindsey West, and Tim & Emma Owen.
Their music was almost exclusively produced by Manchester-based Zarc Porter. The Tribe were part of a wider Christian charity called 'The Message Trust' who has gone on to spawn other music groups such as 'BlushUK' and 'LZ7' and continues to actively proselytise to children across the Manchester region.
Make A Change
World Wide Message Tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a rhino charging I go forward
The black sky pushed back
And my shoes of the Gospel break to a sprint
As I follow the winding track
With a fusion of past and present
The heart of Christ and tenacity of a lion Bonds break
My home is where he takes me
This is the hour
No excuse to wait
This nation is needing a shake up
Holy Spirit is ready and able
Now is the time for the prayers to wake up
Pray Come on,
Pray Everybody make a change today
Pray Come on,
Pray Make a change
Strike the ground not 3 but 6 times
See the barriers pushed back when God moves
Move the hand that moves the world
When all is His then what can I lose
Fixed thoughts present into a mirror
Fans the spark sometimes into a flame
A whispered word
The wind blows nearer
I desire refreshment brought by rain
Unsure I tread at first slowly
But as faith grows my steps get braver
I wanna blaze
My soul engraved with the truth of the name of Jesus
Saviour
Sometimes I stumble and end up in a mess
To the eyes of Jesus
I need to gaze
Need to shout
Break the dry ground
The passion flows
My spirit raised
The song "Make A Change" by World Wide Message Tribe is a call to action for Christians to step up and make a difference in the world. The lyrics suggest that prayer can be powerful, like a charging rhinoceros, and that Christians should move forward with the heart of Christ and the tenacity of a lion. The song encourages listeners to pray for change, to break down barriers, and to move the hand that moves the world.

The song suggests that sometimes it can be difficult to take the first step, but that with time and practice, one can become bolder and more confident in their faith. The chorus reminds listeners that everyone has the ability to make a change and that prayer is a powerful tool for achieving that change.
