Before the shouting started, there was a walk. A long one. Quiet. Repetitive. Obedient. No thunder from heaven, no splitting skies—just a group of people circling a wall that wouldn’t budge.
That’s the heartbeat behind Brandon Lake’s new single, “SEVENS.” Released ahead of his upcoming album King of Hearts, the song doesn’t explode out of hype. It rises like a war cry whispered through gritted teeth—a melody for anyone still trusting when the miracle hasn’t arrived yet.
Faith That Circles First
The inspiration comes straight from Joshua 6—a strange military strategy if there ever was one. God tells His people to march around the enemy’s walls for seven days. On the seventh day, they march seven times, blow seven trumpets… and only then are they told to shout.
No swords. Just circles. No battering rams. Just trumpets and trust.
In SEVENS, Lake doesn’t just retell the story. He drops us right into it.
“We’ll walk these circles seven times
And still believe the battle’s mine
No I won’t stop until it breaks
I’ll praise You like it’s already won.”
🔥 Why SEVENS Hits Different
Brandon debuted the track during a live “record reveal” event in Charleston, South Carolina, giving fans a raw first listen to what’s shaping up to be his most honest album yet. He described King of Hearts as a project for the “real, broken, and hungry”—and SEVENS sets that tone perfectly.
The number seven in Scripture represents completeness and divine order, but in this context, it also represents the waiting. The obedience. The walking before the walls fall.
And with sonic layers that range from thunderous drums to apocalyptic imagery (yes, there are subtle nods to Revelation in the lyrics), SEVENS feels like the soundtrack to a heavenly standoff. It’s gritty, bold, and unwavering.
This isn’t upbeat radio worship. This is battle-worn praise.

Let it hit your headphones differently this time—not as hype music, but as holy endurance.
💭 For the Ones Still Walking
If you’re on lap six… if the wall in front of you hasn’t cracked… if you’re tired of circling the same problem—this song was made for you.
Not to fix it. Not to force it.
But to remind you: God doesn’t need noise to be near. He needs trust.
SEVENS doesn’t just remind us of the victory at Jericho—it honors the quiet, faithful steps that came first. And sometimes, that’s exactly what heaven’s been waiting for.
