New Worship Anthem From Ezra Worship Initiative 'The Spirit and the Bride'
A powerful new voice of worship rises with the release of "The Spirit and the Bride," a moving ballad co-written by acclaimed worship leader Meredith Andrews alongside the Ezra Worship Initiative team. Releasing through NRT Music, the single delivers a passionate cry for the return of Jesus, drenched in hope, reverence, and the beauty of the gospel story.
Co-written by Mary Cam Burg, Meredith Andrews, Taylor Jones, Bryant Urich, and Mary Blake–and arranged by Urich–"The Spirit and the Bride" draws deeply from Revelation's image of the marriage feast of the Lamb. It echoes the global Church's heart cry: "The Spirit and the Bride say come, Lord Jesus." With lyrics that long for the King of Kings to return "riding on a white horse... making everything new," this worship anthem is at once a declaration of expectancy and a call for purification. The track is a stirring reminder that hope is not a concept–it's a Person.
"The heart behind this song is rooted in Scripture and urgency," says Andrews. "We wanted to write something timeless, a cry that transcends generations–a prayer for readiness, and a longing for our soon and coming King."
"The Spirit and the Bride" marks another standout release from the Ezra Worship Initiative, a 10-week seminary-based program focused on equipping the next generation of worship leaders through theological training, hands-on experience, and a thriving songwriting collective. Merging ancient truth with modern expression, Ezra is shaping the sound of tomorrow's Church.
This new single is a must-add for worship leaders, churches, and believers eager to prepare their hearts and lift their eyes in worshipful anticipation. "The Spirit and the Bride" offers the Church a fresh anthem that proclaims both the urgency and the hope of Christ's return.
