Here Be Lions

Nashville, Tennessee-based collective Here Be Lions was founded by pastor, worship leader and songwriter Dustin Smith (“God Who Moves The Mountains,” “Miracles”). Here Be Lions takes its name from the ancient mapping tradition in which explorers marked unknown, dangerous territory with a symbol and the phrase “Here Be Lions.” Originally meant as a warning, the phrase has become a call for the Here Be Lions team to advance God’s kingdom and authority. They do so through focusing on discipleship, music and community with 3 ministry outreaches: Be Fierce, a discipleship resource for families, All About Worship, a worship resource for churches, and Healing Is Right, a resource for the sick and hurting. The Here Be Lions worship team, including Smith, his wife Jeanna, James Galbraith, Jordan Clause, Jeremy Weedman and Garner McGregor, aspires to create music that welcomes the power and presence of God in expectation of salvation, healing and restoration. Here Be Lions' debut album, Only A Holy God, delivers 12 songs of reverence and repentance written around the character of God and the forgiveness and wholeness found in Jesus. “Only A Holy God is the sound of a people declaring that the God of miracles is still at work today,” says Smith. “Who else can heal? Who else can set people free? Who else can raise the dead to life? Only a Holy God! Our hope is that this would be an anthem for the most powerful voice on the planet… His church.”
