Arcadia Worship's 'Overflows (Live)': A River of Renewal


You've got to listen to Arcadia Worship's new song, 'Overflows (Live).' It's a heartfelt plea for God to enter our life, heal the brokenness in our heart (and the world around us), and shape us. Just like rivers can shape rocks and canyons, and water can find its way through the barricades. The lyrics call for a divine restoration and witnessing the impact of God's love and justice. 

Arcadia Worship - Overflows (Live)The opening lines, 'This world you created, this land that you gave us,' remind us that our lives are gifts, His gifts to us, a gift with a larger plan behind it. But, as imperfect as we are, 'Our sin has made dirty' the gift that was meant for beauty. The chorus is where you really feel the heartbeat of the song: 'Let your river run deep into our soul, carve a canyon into our heart of stone.' A reminder that we really need God's redeeming love to 'flood' / saturate every part of our life and the community around us. 

The live recording of 'Overflows' was made last March, and has already touched so many hearts. The band shares that they receive inquiries about the song almost every week, people eager to know more about the artist and where to find it. An official release of the song is a logical next step, and they hope that it will find its way into the hearts of listeners and encourage lives of worship & reflection outside of the church walls and Sunday services. 

May the plea in this song extend into your streets and homes, asking God to fill it with His justice and love until it overflows. And may this song encourage you to live a life that prayerfully reflects His image.

(Related scripture: Ezekiel 36:26; Amos 5:24; Isaiah 58:11)

"Worthy Of All Praise" by Brady Jones: Finding God's Love After Searching in the Wrong Places

Have you searched for love in all the wrong places? Brady wrote “Worthy Of All Praise” at 4 am, wide awake and wrestling with some really tough obstacles that he was facing at the time. He’d spent a season chasing love in places that left him empty. At one point, he remembered who God actually is — not a distant idea, but a living, rising, never-failing presence. The lyrics capture that exact moment: “What love is like this? His love is priceless. A love that would live, a love that would die, a love that’s gonna rise again.” Brady shares: “Our God’s love transcends all understanding and his power towers over all. If there is anything that I would love my listeners to get from this song, it is that no matter where you are, and no matter how hopeless you think you are, there is a God who you can cling to and embrace through any season of life.” In Revelation 1:8 we read: “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’” Brady e...

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.'
