“I Come In My Father’s Name” by Trey Knowles is a powerful, prophetic-style song that blends spoken-word proclamation with spiritual lament. Drawing on biblical imagery and echoes of “Go Down Moses,” the song contrasts the mission of divine service, life, and liberation with forces portrayed as oppressive and destructive. Through repeated refrains and a call to “Let Yeshua people go,” it weaves themes of deliverance, identity, and resistance against spiritual bondage. The track channels the voice of a messenger sent to uplift, free, and restore, invoking the story of Moses to frame a modern cry for freedom and faithfulness.

Trey Knowles — “Prisoners of War”

We were indigenous people, dependent on God, living among our tribes, rooted in the land, breathing freedom without chains, without bills, without debt, without masters. We worked the soil with our hands and fed our families with what the earth provided. We walked in balance. We carried spirit. We were a holy people. Then one day the enemy came, not with peace but with fire, with steel, with lies, with hunger for power.

They stole our land, they killed our elders, they destroyed our villages, and they turned human beings into property. They beat us until our backs were maps of suffering. They raped our women and shattered our families. They hung us on crosses and trees as warnings. They stripped away our names, our languages, our identities, and forced us to speak their words, worship their systems, live by their rules. 

They treated us like animals, branded us, sold us, caged us, and demanded that we call them “master” while they played God. They did not only steal our bodies — they attacked our minds, poisoned our culture, erased our history, and worked to rip the image of God out of us. Now our children grow up confused, disconnected, searching for themselves in broken systems that were never built for them. 

They learn to love chains they cannot see. They accept the ways of the beast: greed, violence, division, addiction, hatred, and emptiness. We are still bleeding from wounds that never healed. We are still fighting battles that never ended. We walk free in name but bound in spirit. This is not just history — this is warfare. This is generational. This is psychological. This is spiritual. We are survivors, but we are also captives. We are standing, but we are still under occupation. We are breathing, but we are not fully alive. We are a people stolen from ourselves. We are prisoners of war.

In “I Forgive You,” Trey Knowles delivers a powerful confession wrapped in the language of restoration and grace. The song becomes a living example of how forgiveness—real, painful, transformative forgiveness—reflects the truth that love covers a multitude of sins.

In “They Don’t Care About Us,” Trey Knowles delivers a powerful message about recognizing who truly stands with you. He declares that if God is for you, no force can stand against you—especially not the European colonizers who once held his people in captivity and falsely claimed to represent the image of God. Trey urges listeners to recognize that these systems were never created for their wellbeing. Since those who colonized you do not care about you, he calls on you to step out of their systems and draw closer to the God who genuinely loves and protects you. The song warns against remaining in “the belly of the beast,” a Europe that came to kill, steal, and destroy, and encourages seeking spiritual freedom in God instead.
