'Deeper Waters' by Jeremy Camp: Letting Go to Let God Lead


Jeremy Camp's 'Deeper Waters' is a call to action to take your faith to the next level. It's a call to explore the depths of God's love, understand the purpose and roadmap He has for you. It is a call to look beyond all of those shallow distractions you face that just waste your time and keep your focus on temporary outcomes instead of eternal outcomes. 

Jeremy Camp - Deeper WatersAs you listen to 'Deeper Waters,' you can't help but feel a stir in your soul. Something inside you knows that true life-giving refreshment only comes from a solid spiritual connection with God. Jeremy urges us to get together, seek revival, and let God breathe life into our tired bones (Ezekiel 37:4–5). True fulfillment and strength in faith isn't coming from running from (or ignoring) the darkness around us, they come from facing it head-on, with God by your side. 

This song is very personal, because Jeremy is sharing some of the things that God has been teaching him and his family over the last two years. The teachings that encourage taking action, by heeding to God's call, allowing Him to take you to the next level, where your faith will grow stronger and be refined by life's trials. 

So, go on, take a break for a few minutes and listen to 'Deeper Waters.' Get ready to be challenged to move past your shallows into the depths where faith is experienced. Trust me, this is a journey that is worth taking. Enjoy!

(Related scripture: Ezekiel 37:4-5; Isaiah 43:2; John 4:14)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
