The story behind "Until the Whole World Hears."Casting Crowns' lead vocalist, Mark Hall, who wrote the lyrics for this song, commented that: "For believers,the message is that God wants to use you, He wants you to grow and He wants you to have a purpose". Hallelaborated that: "'Until the Whole World Hears' reminds me to be more intentional about what I do. I may notbe able to get on a plane and fly to China and give out Bibles and preach the gospel, but how can I witnessto my co-workers and my friends and my family." The portion of the chorus that says "like voices in thewilderness we're crying out" is a reference to John the Baptist. Hall said that one of his favorite charactersin the New Testament was John the Baptist. Hall said, "Until the whole world hears' are the lines and thethings that John the Baptist said into a culture that did not want to hear it. Likewise, we've got to be in a placein our walk with Jesus that he's filled us to where we step into something that's unpopular and we can speakthe truth, but that we can also speak it in love. We've got to live in such a way that I have the purpose thatJohn had."
