Nicole C. Mullen is revisiting "Call on Jesus" twenty-five years after its original release, inviting listeners to remember the song-and share how its message has touched their lives. In an anniversary post on Instagram, the singer celebrated the milestone with an emphatic reminder: "ALL THINGS ARE STILL POSSIBLE... when we call on Jesus!"
The celebration also includes a return of the song's music video to her own online page. In a separate announcement, Mullen told followers the video was "coming home," explaining that it would reside on her page after twenty-five years. Her announcement gives longtime listeners an opportunity to revisit a familiar recording while introducing it to those discovering her music today.
"Call on Jesus" appeared on Talk About It, released through Word on August 28, 2001. The album brought together contemporary Christian pop, gospel, and R&B influences, with songs including "Talk About It," "Sometimes," and "Come Unto Me." Within that varied collection, "Call on Jesus" offered a direct expression of dependence on God when personal strength runs out.
The song's appeal rests in the movement from vulnerability to confidence. Its opening acknowledges exhaustion and the pressure of an overwhelming world, while the chorus turns toward prayer and divine help. A contemporary Christianity Today review highlighted that emphasis on the source of strength, placing the song's encouragement firmly in its invitation to call upon Jesus.
The video also earned recognition beyond its initial release. At the 2002 GMA Dove Awards, "Call on Jesus" won Short Form Music Video of the Year, while Mullen received Female Vocalist of the Year. The song was additionally nominated for Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, making it a significant recording in that period of her career.
In her anniversary caption, Mullen moves the conversation from music history to personal testimony. After celebrating the twenty-five-year milestone, she asks followers, "Have you experienced the impossible?" The question invites listeners to connect the song with their own experiences of prayer, uncertainty, and hope.
That invitation gives the anniversary its present-day purpose. Mullen is asking fans to revisit the faith expressed in the recording and consider what it means in their lives today. Twenty-five years later, her message remains as direct as the song's title: call on Jesus.
