Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble

by Martin Smith (Delirious?)

Theology & Meaning

A revival anthem asking whether the congregation has felt the resurrection shockwave—the earth-trembling, grave-opening power of the risen Christ. Martin Smith's song reflects the 1990s UK praise and worship revival's confidence in God's power to shake both mountains and hearts.

Worship Leadership Tips

High-energy anthem for services on revival, Easter, or the transforming power of the gospel. The question format invites a posture of expectancy. Works powerfully for large gatherings seeking a moment of breakthrough.

Arrangement Tips

Driving rock-worship. Electric guitar-led with strong percussion. Full band throughout. The 'people and nations' declaration should feel like it encompasses the whole earth. Dynamic build through the song. Backing vocals essential for the sweeping feel of the chorus.
