Embrace God's Presence with 'Holy Spirit Wind' by Lori Morris


Lori Morris is a landscape painter, Christian singer-songwriter, and loves to share her creativity. She released the song "Holy Spirit Wind," a song with an amazing backstory. "I've been writing songs on my own for about 15 years," Lori writes, "but in 2023, I prayed for God to connect me with other Christian songwriters. Just a few months later, He led me to my first Lake City Lights Retreat in Florida. … On one of the final days, I sat on the beach, connecting with God through His creation. I was enjoying His presence and the waves rolling in, and I prayed, "As the waves are rolling in, the strength You give me never ends." That line became the foundation of the song I co-wrote."

Lori Morris - Holy Spirit WindYou'll see this line appear in the chorus, a chorus that captures the essence of God's endless strength and presence: "As the waves are rolling in, The strength You give me never ends, Come and breathe on me again, Holy Spirit wind." The verses are about the "friendship" that we find in the Holy Spirit, who offers hope and healing amid all of the challenges we face in life.

The bridge elaborates on this theme, emphasizing how God's life-changing grace is at work in our lives: "You fill me, restore, Your will is transforming, You're working within me."

May "Holy Spirit Wind" also become your reminder that God's presence and strength are as constant and renewing as the waves. He is there for you, waiting for you to invite Him to be part of your life.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 40:29-31; John 14:26; Psalm 46:1; Romans 15:13)

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"One That Matters" by Marija Clara: Because Only One Voice Matters

The song "One That Matters" by Marija Clare was born in a sunlit home studio in Tegucigalpa. The song sounds like a celebration, but the story behind the song adds a deeper meaning to the lyrics. Marija Clara wrote this song after a miscarriage, and that contrast shapes the song’s message! Joy isn't denial of the facts. Joy is what comes after the facts... joy is healing in the presence of Jesus. In other words, the bright horns and Latin rhythms are not just for dancing, they’re a reminder that God can turn even the most raw grief into a place of renewal. In these lyrics, Marija names the pressure that you probably also feel around you: everyone watching, expecting you to achieve, you can't permit yourself to slow down. Instead of chasing every demand, she points us to the freedom of knowing that when we have Christ, everything else in our lives becomes secondary. Each line in the song circles back to this simple confession: He is the only One that matters, He resha...

Haddon’s ‘In Your Arms’: Finding New Life in Christ

Haddon's song "In Your Arms" does a beautiful job of describing challenges that many of us know all too well. Based on Romans 8:6, Haddon sings about his own battle with sin and how Christ helped him overcome. For many years, Haddon found himself stuck in a cycle of self-destructive habits and sin. Pride and lust had brought him to the end of his rope. He kept going further down and wondered when he would reach the bottom. But remembering Romans 6 brought him hope, realizing true life is found only by setting your mind on Jesus.  The lyrics feel like an honest conversation with a friend, urging those who feel lost or weary to turn to God. If you've ever felt crushed by pride, trapped by sin, or just plain exhausted, Haddon's assures you that life is full and hope is certain, where God's embrace is like a gentle hand that is guiding you back on track.  Only God brings hope and new life. As Haddon shares: "So through fire and water, whatever the trial may b...
