"Spirit Come" by GRANDE: An Uplifting Encounter with God's Presence


GRANDE's new song 'Spirit Come' is inspired by an amazing experience during a trip to Asia. In late 2023, while visiting Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines, GRANDE faced the challenges of being away from family and had to deal with a lot of internal dynamics. 

GRANDE - Spirit ComeOne day, at a conference in Malaysia, the Spirit of God filled GRANDE with a deep sense of peace and belonging. Although he was far away from home, he felt at home in a church full of strangers because he felt the Spirit of God. 

Everything in life has a purpose in God's plan, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that God brought this experience to memory after he had returned home and inspired him to write 'Spirit Come'. 

The lyrics of 'Spirit Come' beautifully capture this powerful experience of the Spirit of God comforting and loving us no matter where we are. The lyrics speak of opening our hearts and eyes to God's love, inviting the Holy Spirit to flow into our lives like a river of gladness. The song calls for God's fire to fall and His mercy to rain down on us. It is through this song that GRANDE reminds us that it doesn't matter where we are, the Spirit of God is always with us, comforting and guiding us. 

May you open your heart to God's love, invite His Holy Spirit to flow into all parts of your life, and bless you with His mercy and grace.

(Related scripture: John 14:26; Acts 2:17; Romans 15:13)

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics by Kapa Freeman  Why are John Mayer's song lyrics so easy to remember? It comes down to human psychology. I am notoriously bad at remembering song lyrics, except for John Mayer's Songs. Other artists may write a song I remember here or there, but John Mayer does it consistently. Why? I discovered the reason when I was working full-time as a teacher. Teachers can always tell when they're losing students. When those eyes start to glaze over, when that one eyebrow raises in confusion and someone yells out... "I don't get it!"  I got those a lot when I first started teaching. Talking to other teachers, I soon discovered why. I was giving too much information at once. I would vomit these elaborate explanations, thinking that more information would help clear things up... But they just got confused. Talking to my teachers reminded me of lessons I'd learned while getting my teaching degree:  "People remem...

'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...
