Open Heaven Releases “Never The Same”

Columbus, Ohio Worship team, Open Heaven releases "Never The Same." The 3rd single release leading up to their album releasing this fall. "Never The Same" (DREAM Worship) is available everywhere in music digital and streaming formats. This live track was produced by Scott Mearig and was co-written by Alexis Keesee, Amy Freudiger, Erik Parise, Jeremiah Willams, Zach Traylor.
"Never the Same" was written by the Open Heaven songwriting team, including Alexis Keesee, Amy Freudiger, Erik Parise, Jeremiah Willams, and Zach Traylor.
The song was inspired by the incredible story of a young woman seeking answers to the mental torment and hopelessness she was experiencing in her life. Worship Pastor Amy Freudiger explains, "This young mother had been tormented by destructive, fearful voices in her head, and she didn't know how to get free or who God even was."
But one night this lady had a dream in which she saw the exterior of Faith Life Church's building and she heard a voice saying, "Go there. They can help you." When she woke up, she drew a picture of the building. Not too long after that, she was driving down the road and spotted the church building, recognizing it immediately from her dream!
She attended that weekend for the first time. Amy explains, "We will never forget her face as she walked up to the altar for prayer. She was so tormented by demonic thoughts, she couldn't even speak. She just looked like death in the eyes as she handed a note to our pastor. In the note, she had written a plea for help."
As the worship team ministered in song, they watched as this woman gave her heart to Christ, received prayer from the pastors, and encountered the mercy and power of God she so desperately needed.
"All of the torment and anguish left," says Amy. "Her countenance was radically changed, like night and day! She stood up and just looked like a different person. That's when I spontaneously started singing what would become the bridge of our song Never the Same, saying:
All things are new. I'm no longer hopeless.
Jesus you give me purpose.
Here with you, no longer hopeless.
On the cross you changed my name!
I'm never the same!
"We finished writing the rest of it that week. I'm happy to say that this dear lady has found lasting freedom and has brought her entire family to the Lord! She is a living testament to the power of Jesus," says Amy. "As we celebrate the resurrection this Easter, let's remember the cross changed everything. And it has the power to change us."
