This Is a Move

Theology & Meaning

This Is a Move is a declaration that what is happening in the room — the gathered worship, the prayer, the hunger — is not merely human activity but a genuine move of the Spirit of God. The theology draws on Habakkuk's prayer for God to revive His work in the midst of years and on the Acts 2 pattern of the Spirit moving when the people are unified in prayer. The song interprets the worship gathering as the setting for divine movement.

Worship Leadership Tips

Tasha Cobbs Leonard's 2019 live album introduced this song in a revival context and it carries that energy. Works well in prayer-focused services, revival gatherings, or any moment where you sense the Spirit moving in the room. Lead it with expectancy — the declaration of 'this is a move' should feel like genuine recognition, not wishful thinking.

Arrangement Tips

Gospel-driven with full band energy. Tasha Cobbs' style uses strong rhythm, keys, and vocal power. Allow the song to build and extend — it's designed for the live worship context where extended choruses and spontaneous additions work well. Background vocalists are key to the full gospel sound.
