'A Heart That's Empty'', Home Sweet Homies' Quest for Fulfillment


Home Sweet Homies presents a fresh and energetic sound with their song 'A Heart That's Empty.' This pop rock song is all about finding your life's true purpose and happiness. Everyone can relate to this topic, regardless of their religion or background. It's a message about those moments many of us are all too familiar with, like when you're tired of pretending, your heart is empty, and nothing feels real. 

Home Sweet Homies - A Heart That's EmptyThis song was written during a group jam night in 2022, and they regularly perform it live as a band. They capture the feeling of searching for something that is truly authentic, with lines like, 'How do you fill a heart that's empty?' and 'So I come back to you, seeking out the truth.' They also point you in the direction of the solution... find peace by turning to the source of life. 

For anyone feeling lost and alone, the lyrics 'How do you still a mind that's running?' strike a chord. The song beautifully paints our search for authenticity in the chaotic world we live in, and it reminds us that fulfillment doesn't come from our striving for more or better. It's all about letting a higher love guide us. A love that that we, as Christians, find in God. It is God who gives us clarity and purpose for our wandering hearts and restless minds. 

Take a moment today to give this song a listen. May this song help to fill the emptiness in your heart with a love that is far greater than your own. The fact that we're all looking for happiness and our true purpose in life gives this song the potential to move hearts to work on healing the broken world that we live in.

(Related scripture: Jeremiah 29:13; Matthew 11:28; Philippians 4:7)

"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...
