“Voices United” is an empowering anthem that encapsulates the collective outcry against the waves of antisemitism and the solidarity of the global community in its resolve to fight against this blight. This track stands as a testament to the strength found in unity, with a rousing chorus that calls for voices to rise in unison, transcending individual whispers into a powerful chorus for change.

The song’s intent is to act as a rallying cry, bringing people together to reject hate speech, antichrist, and anti-God sentiments, urging them instead toward a vision of a compassionate, justice-oriented society. The lyrics emphasize the communal plea to the divine for intervention, healing, and guidance in upholding the principles of love and acceptance.

“Voices United” resonates with the heart of the ‘Never Again Is Now’ movement, emphasizing the urgency for a united front in the battle for the soul of the nation. It carries the message that, in solidarity, the Australian people, and indeed all of humanity, can reforge their identity as a generation committed to peace and understanding.

By bridging worship with activism, this song captures the essence of intercessory worship as an act of defiance against the prevailing winds of division. It reminds us that when we stand together, our collective voice has the power to dismantle strongholds of hate and usher in an era where every community can thrive free from fear.
