What "Another One" means
"Another One" is a song about appetite, the kind that is born from having seen what God can do. Elevation Worship wrote it from a posture of revival expectation: not the nostalgic kind that wishes for something from the past, but the forward-leaning kind that believes what happened before is evidence of what can happen again. The "another one" of the title is not a vague request. It is a faith-statement made by a congregation that has seen enough of God's power to ask for more with confidence.
The song positions the gathered congregation as witnesses to a track record. They are not asking blindly. They are asking on the basis of what they know. That is a specific kind of prayer: faith grounded in memory, expectation grounded in evidence. The revival tag in the metadata is apt, but the song does not sentimentalize revival. It anticipates it.
At 94 BPM in D major, it sits in the space between a slow burn and a full build. The tempo has urgency without frenzy. The expectation in the song is confident rather than desperate. That confidence is the distinguishing characteristic of "Another One" among Elevation's catalog: it asks for more not because things are desperate but because things have been good and could be better.
What this song does in a room
"Another One" creates a congregational hunger. When sung well, it moves the room from passive worship to active anticipation. People lean in. The posture shifts from receiving to reaching. That is not manufactured emotionalism. It is the effect of singing a song that refuses to be satisfied with what has already happened.
The gods-power and revival tags both describe something the song does atmospherically. The combination of declarative language about what God has done and petitionary language about what the congregation is asking for creates a unique dual-mode in the room. People are simultaneously testifying and asking. Those are different postures, and holding them together is what gives the song its particular charge.
Watch for the room to become more vocal as the song progresses. "Another One" tends to build congregational participation naturally, which means you do not have to drive it from the front. Give it room to grow.
What this song is saying about God
"Another One" is saying that God is not finished. That sounds simple, but it is a statement with enormous pastoral weight. For congregations that have been in a season of spiritual drought, or that are watching the church in their context struggle, or that have simply grown used to the absence of the extraordinary, this song declares that the God who moved before can move again.
The song positions God as someone whose activity in the past is not a high-water mark but a precedent. What he did is evidence of what he can do, not the fullest expression of what he is willing to do. The congregation is invited to ask not from desperation but from knowledge: they know what he is capable of because they have seen it.
There is also an implicit ecclesiology in the song. It assumes the gathered community is the context in which God moves. "Another one" is not asked privately. It is asked together, which is a statement about where revival shows up: in the body, assembled, asking together.
Scriptural backbone
Acts 4:29-31 is the root: "Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus. After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly." The early church did not pray for safety in the face of opposition. They prayed for more. That is the spirit "Another One" inhabits.
Habakkuk 3:2 carries the same posture: "Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known." The song is Habakkuk's prayer in a contemporary idiom: we know what you have done; do it again.
How to use it in a service
"Another One" belongs in a service where revival, renewal, or corporate prayer is the theme. It does not work as a background song or a filler between moments. It makes a claim that requires the service's energy to support it.
If you are in a season where your congregation is praying for a breakthrough, whether in attendance, in the community, or in a specific ministry, this song gives corporate language to what has been a private longing. That is one of the most valuable things a worship song can do: translate private prayer into shared voice.
As a set-ender or a moment before a prayer time, it is a natural fit. The congregation has been gathered, they have worshiped, they have heard the Word, and now they are being asked to ask for more. "Another One" carries that ask.
Avoid placing it too early in a service before there is any relational warmth in the room. The hunger the song expresses needs soil to grow in.
Things to watch for as the worship leader
The 94 BPM feel gives you room to lead the congregation into the song without rushing them. Use that room. Do not arrive at the first chorus too quickly emotionally. Let the verses do their work of naming what God has done before you arrive at the request for more.
This song can become about the feeling of revival rather than the fact of God's power if you are not careful about how you lead it. The antidote is specificity. When you have a brief moment to speak between sections, name specific things God has done in your congregation or your community. Ground the "another one" in something real.
Watch your own hunger level. This song asks for something from the front. If you are leading it as a song you know rather than a prayer you are praying, the congregation will feel the difference.
A note for the team behind you (techs, vocalists, band)
Vocalists, the backing energy on this song needs to feel like a community asking together rather than performers executing a song. Let that shape how you approach the harmonies. They should feel participatory, not staged.
Band, the D major groove at 94 BPM benefits from a guitar feel that builds through the song. Start with less and give the song somewhere to go. Keyboard pads underneath the verses create anticipation. Let the full rig open up at the chorus and especially at the bridge. Do not peak in the first chorus.
Techs, the arc of this song should be audible in the mix. The verse should feel somewhat open and expectant; the chorus should feel full and declaring. Your gain staging and automation should support that journey. Do not open the gates all the way in the intro and have nowhere to go. Build the mix with the song. If you have lighting that can track with the musical energy, this is a song that rewards that. Start in a lower, more intimate light and let it expand with the music.
