Kristi Hepp - Flood the Banks (CCM)


As she sings the words 'We've been in seasons of drought, we've drawn from so many waters, but still we're parched like a desert, our hearts are still desperate,' Kristi Hepp's voice is raw and powerful. Her words speak to the deep longing that so many of us feel, the longing for something more, for something that will truly satisfy the thirst in our souls.

But Kristi's song, 'Flood the Banks,' is more than just a reflection on our own struggles and desires. It's a call to action, a cry for God to pour out His love and grace upon us. 'Let the empty wells stay empty still,' Kristi sings. 'Every broken cistern, never give us fill. That our feet may run on the heights back to the One who always will.'

Kristi Hepp - Flood the BanksIt's a powerful reminder that no matter how much we try to fill ourselves up with other things, it's only in God that we will truly find satisfaction. 'May we taste and see,' Kristi sings, 'that every other thing leaves us dry. May we taste and see that You alone satisfy.'

But Kristi's song doesn't stop there. It's a call for God to 'flood the banks,' to fill us up with His love and grace. 'We're dry and weary souls,' Kristi sings. 'O, Mighty River, flow. Flood the banks, fill your people.'

As we listen to the song, we can't help but feel the urgency in Kristi's voice, the deep longing for God to pour out His love and grace upon us. It's a reminder that no matter how hard we try, we can't fill ourselves up with anything other than God. Only He can truly satisfy our deepest longings and bring us the joy and peace that we crave.

So let us join Kristi in her call to God, asking Him to 'flood the banks' and fill us up with His love and grace. Let us turn our hearts toward Him, knowing that in Him alone we will find the satisfaction and fulfillment that we've been searching for.

"Lord You Are So Awesome" by Mario Tucker: Turning Everyday Moments into Praise

“Lord You Are So Awesome” by Mario Tucker is a reminder that worship doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be powerful. The song is based on the fact that what matters the most is that God’s greatness deserves our constant praise. Our praise doesn't have to meet any quality standards for it to be pleasing to God. So, ask yourself... when was the last time that you took a moment to say, “Lord you are so awesome / Lord you are so great / Your name is above the Heavens”? This song invites you to be constantly aware of God’s greatness, and that includes awareness outside the walls of church, like during car rides, your quiet time, and those precious triumphs in life. It's an awareness that leads to response. “So let’s praise and magnify your name.” Praise is not a matter of passively observing and responding... it’s a call to turn your admiration into active devotion. Think about it for a moment: what would change in your life if praise became your first reaction instead of ...

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

"Heaven On Earth" by Eauclaire: Finding Sacred Wonder in the Everyday

Have you ever struggled to see God's presence in your daily life? After a few chaotic days, it is easy to lose sight of the sacred. "Heaven On Earth" by Eauclaire is all about discovering the sacred in the everyday. An interesting fact is that the song was written beneath the "Looking Glass Arch" at the Heaven on Earth Music Festival in Moab, Utah (USA).  The song emphasizes that heaven isn't just a distant promise. And best of all, we don't need a "looking glass" to see that heaven is right here. So, instead of looking "out in the atmosphere," Eauclaire reminds us to simply "take a minute, take a breath," and get out of your head and into your chest.  Do you trust that God will order your steps, even when life gets heavy? Sure, easy to forget to see His hand around you, and the beauty is that you already have the ability to find His beauty and Love in the "wild flowers," the "golden hour," and even t...
