“When Joel, Luke and I were writing this song we were inspired by the Lords’ prayer and the need for revival right now,” shares St. James. “I believe that there’s a desperation that is foundational to every true move of the Spirit. And our world is desperate right now! Great revivalists have said if you want to see revival, draw a circle on the floor, step into it and pray for revival to begin there. Let it start with us!”
On February 18, 2022, St. James will release her tenth studio album and first full length since 2011’s I Will Praise You. The album, also titled Kingdom Come, marks a season of growth and the knowledge that a new day will come and with it a new dawn.
