"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.

"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....

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.'

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...
