LION (feat. Chris Brown & Brandon Lake)
About “LION (feat. Chris Brown & Brandon Lake)”
Chris Brown, Brandon Lake, and Steven Furtick wrote the song in a single Wednesday session, banging it out on a keyboard and an acoustic guitar, then called the band in the next day to flesh it out; Brown called it one of the easiest songs they ever produced. The song and its parent album take their name from Revelation 5, the only place in Scripture where Jesus is called both the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Lamb. Brown described the plot twist that Jesus conquers death not by forceful takeover but through crucifixion.
