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)

"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....

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"No One Like You Jesus" by Morgan Starner: Why Only Jesus Can Carry Your Burdens

Who really deserves your loudest praise? “No One Like You Jesus” by Morgan Starner didn’t start in a studio. It started as a voice memo, hummed late at night, half-formed and unfinished. Morgan took that fragile melody into the studio and built it up, layer by layer, until it held over 100 stacked vocals. The result sounds like a celebration. Bright, rhythmic, and impossible to sit still while listening. That’s the point of this song… Gospel-pop with a modern pulse, made to move bodies and hearts at the same time.  Listen to the bridge, and you’ll hear a question underneath the beat: “Who else gonna take my burdens? Who else gonna get me through?” Morgan answers the question without hesitation. “No one else but You.”   Scripture asks the same question, thousands of years earlier. Here is how Moses responded after crossing the Red Sea: “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?” (Exodus 15:11, ESV...
