“The Mountain Trembles (Prelude)”  The journey begins.  This track sets the stage for The Voice from the Mountain, an epic musical exploration of the Ten Commandments. Drawing from Exodus 19, this track captures the awe, fear, and majesty of the moment when the Holy descended upon Mount Sinai in fire and thunder. Featuring Middle Eastern instrumentation and cinematic intensity, it invites listeners into the reverent mystery of encountering the voice of the Almighty.

The Mountain Trembles (Prelude)

“No Other” is the second track from The Voice from the Mountain, a cinematic musical journey through the Ten Commandments. This track sets the first and most foundational commandment to music—God’s call to exclusive devotion.

    Text of the Commandment:
    “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
    (Exodus 20:3; Deuteronomy 5:7)

This command follows God's declaration of deliverance:

    “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.”
    (Exodus 20:2)

It is a call to recognize the one true Deliverer and reject all false allegiances. The track evokes the thunder and flame of Sinai, capturing both the reverence of God's presence and the clarity of His voice. With Middle Eastern instrumentation and a cinematic tone, “No Other” declares the unmatched supremacy of the One who rescues, redeems, and reigns.

Track 2_ “No Other”

“No Image” is the third track in The Voice from the Mountain, exploring the Second Commandment—the call to worship the living God without distortion or idolatry.

    Text of the Commandment:
    “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything in heaven above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or serve them…”
    (Exodus 20:4–5; Deuteronomy 5:8–9)

The commandment affirms God's transcendence—that He cannot be reduced to anything made by human hands. This track draws on ancient modes and instruments to underscore the mystery of the invisible God, who desires worship in spirit and truth. Awe-filled and solemn, “No Image” reminds us that no sculpture or symbol can contain His glory.

Track 3 No Image

“Not in Vain” is the fourth track from The Voice from the Mountain, giving musical expression to the Third Commandment—God’s call to treat His name with sacred reverence.

    Text of the Commandment:
    “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.”
    (Exodus 20:7; Deuteronomy 5:11)

God’s name is not a casual word or a tool for personal gain—it represents His presence, His covenant, His very being. This track explores the weight of bearing that name, whether in worship, oath, or daily speech. With a blend of ancient instruments and cinematic stillness, “Not in Vain” invites us to rediscover the holiness of God's name and the responsibility of speaking it with truth.

Track 4, Not In Vain

“Remember the Rest” is the fifth track from The Voice from the Mountain, capturing the heart of the Fourth Commandment: God’s call to Sabbath rest.

    Text of the Commandment:
    “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy… For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth… and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”
    (Exodus 20:8–11)

    “You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out… therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.”
    (Deuteronomy 5:15)

The Sabbath is more than a break from work—it’s a rhythm of creation and redemption. This track reflects that double meaning: resting as a reflection of God’s work in the world and as a celebration of His liberation. With gentle instrumentation and uplifting melodies, “Remember the Rest” becomes a musical exhale—an invitation into peace, freedom, and worship.

Track 5, Remember The Rest

“Honor” is the sixth track in The Voice from the Mountain, reflecting the Fifth Commandment—God’s call to honor our father and mother.

    Text of the Commandment:
    “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.”
    (Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16)

The command to honor parents is about more than obedience—it’s about recognizing the sacred structure of life and legacy. It reflects a heart that values where it came from and prepares the next generation to flourish. With a rich, warm soundscape and lyrics full of dignity and memory, “Honor” is a musical tribute to the foundation of the family and the blessings that flow from reverence.

Track 6, Honor

“The Blood Cries Out” is the seventh track in The Voice from the Mountain, centered on the Sixth Commandment: “You shall not murder.”

    Text of the Commandment:
    “You shall not murder.”
    (Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17)

This commandment is about the sacredness of life. Every human bears the image of God, and to unjustly take that life is to reject the Creator Himself. The song draws on the ancient echo of Abel’s blood crying out from the ground, reminding us that justice belongs to the Lord—and that life is His to give and take. With raw instrumentation and urgent tone, “The Blood Cries Out” is a solemn warning and a call to honor life as holy.

Track 7, The Blood Cries Out

“Faithless No More” is the eighth track in The Voice from the Mountain, built upon the Seventh Commandment: “You shall not commit adultery.”

    Text of the Commandment:
    “You shall not commit adultery.”
    (Exodus 20:14; Deuteronomy 5:18)

Adultery tears at the very fabric of covenant love. This commandment protects the sacred bond of marriage and reflects the deeper covenant between God and His people. The song is both a warning and a plea for restoration, echoing the call of a faithful God to a faithless people: “Return to Me.” With sorrowful but hopeful tones, “Faithless No More” portrays the heartbreak of betrayal and the healing that comes through repentance and divine grace.

Track 8, Faithless No More

“What Is Not Yours” is the ninth track in The Voice from the Mountain, interpreting the Eighth Commandment: “You shall not steal.”

    Text of the Commandment:
    “You shall not steal.”
    (Exodus 20:15; Deuteronomy 5:19)

This command protects what others have been entrusted with—resources, time, dignity. To steal is not just an economic act—it’s a denial that God is enough. In a world tempted by shortcuts and shadows, “What Is Not Yours” speaks with clarity and power: we are not owners, but stewards. Let the hands be clean, and the heart content in the provision of the Lord.

Track 9, What Is Not Yours

“Truth in the Gate” is the tenth track in The Voice from the Mountain, based on the Ninth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”

    Text of the Commandment:
    “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
    (Exodus 20:16; Deuteronomy 5:20)

In ancient Israel, the city gate was where justice was decided—witnesses mattered. This commandment calls not only for legal honesty but for integrity in all speech. False witness doesn’t just damage reputations—it unravels the trust that holds society together. “Truth in the Gate” reminds us that our words must reflect the God of truth. Every tongue is accountable before Him.

Track 10, Truth In The Gate

“The Quiet Thief” is the eleventh and final track in The Voice from the Mountain, built around the Tenth Commandment: “You shall not covet.”

    Text of the Commandment:
    “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
    (Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21)

Unlike the previous commandments, this one speaks not to actions, but to the desires of the heart. Coveting is the hidden thief—it erodes gratitude and quietly breeds sin. But in Christ, we are invited into freedom from envy and into the joy of full contentment. “The Quiet Thief” ends the album not in thunder, but in quiet transformation—where the law penetrates deepest and grace reaches furthest.
