'Spaces' by Arcadia Worship: God's Presence in Our Empty Moments


Arcadia Worship’s new single “Spaces” is a song about finding comfort in God’s presence when there is a distance between you and your loved ones. This relateable feeling of distance has been skillfully used to get the listener thinking about what feelings our own distance from God gives us. When we feel far away, whether it is from loved ones or from God, the key is in remembering that God is always near by, filling the spaces and bringing His peace.

Arcadia Worship - spacesThe first verse sets a scene - those tough times you face when you’re separated from the One or ones you care about. Even though you are here, part of your heart is miles away. This song beautifully expresses our need for God’s presence to close that emotional distance. The chorus is a comforting declaration that God fills those empty spaces, holding our hearts together and giving us peace, no matter how scattered our minds might be.

The second verse speaks about when your thoughts are going all over the place, possibly causing anxiety, times when God really pulls you in and recenters your heart, a source of peace that you can’t always comprehend. The bridge reinforces the powerful truth that God isn’t far away. He is and always has been by your side!

This song places a different perspective on distance. God can fill the spaces of any distance. He is ready to fill those spaces with His love and peace. All it takes is for you to invite Him in: 'God I need your presence to come and fill the space.'

May “Spaces” by Arcadia Worship help you to invite His peace and reassurance into your heart.

(Related scripture: Psalm 34:18; Philippians 4:7; Isaiah 41:10)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

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.'

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...
