"Deliver Me" by Demaree Hill: Breaking Free Through Faith


Demaree Hill - Deliver Me

"Deliver Me" by Demaree Hill is all about breaking free from the chains of our past, with God by our side leading the way and fighting our fight. This song is about Demaree's personal journey through toxic relationships, emotional abuse, and the weight of some poor decisions. Demaree shares how it would feel as if she would be standing at a crossroad, with the familiarity of past wounds in one direction and the unknown promise of freedom in the other direction. She writes, "Even when I knew God was calling me forward, fear and temptation tried to pull me back."

As Demaree sings, "I need you to part the sea // I know on the other side // You have so much more for my life," her cry for deliverance — an acknowledgment that, on her own, she is powerless to break the cycle. Demaree chooses to trust in His ability to lead her into the life that He has prepared for her.

The lyrics are filled with struggle and surrender, acknowledging how powerless we are on our own, "Not by my own strength // Lord, show me your way." The lyrics show that we shouldn't just be crying for divine intervention, but we also need to be prepared to surrender to whatever direction He takes us. The repeated plea in the song, "Deliver, deliver, deliver me," isn't a passive plea where we can just sit back and expect God to do the rest. We also have a part to play, "Lord, show me your way." God opens doors of possibilities and freedom; He heals and even gives us strength to move forward, but He can't force us to "eat." He delivers, and it's journeys like Demaree's that show us that His promises aren't empty. Deliverance is within your reach, and you can start that path right now!

This song is for anyone who's ever felt trapped, afraid, or tempted to fall back to what's familiar but still long for more. May Demaree's journey encourage you to say "yes" to God's promises. Ask… He will heal and strengthen you, and guide the way to deliverance.

(Related scripture: Psalm 34:17-18; Exodus 14:16; Romans 6:18)

"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 ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

"Forever" by Randy Wade: The God Who Has Always Been

The King who reigns forever also reigns over you. Before a single star burned in the sky, before the first mountain rose from the earth, God was. Worship Pastor and Contemporary Christian songwriter Rev. Randy Wade captures this in his song “Forever”, a song built on the unshakeable and eternal nature of God. “Before the mountains were lifted high, before the stars gave light to the sky, You O Lord have always been, the One with no beginning and no end.”   Randy wrote “Forever” to point our hearts toward Christ. The song pulls your gaze off the noise of daily life and fixes it on the One who exists outside of time. We have a God who doesn’t react to circumstances, but One who reigns above them. Revelation 1:8 declares, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This scripture isn’t just a declaration; it can also be read as a personal promise. It is the same God who holds eternity in His hands who also holds your uncerta...
