"Fill Us Again" by Aaron Goodhew: A Cry for Spiritual Renewal


Aaron Goodhew's song "Fill Us Again" is about wanting to feel the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Aaron shared that it was a prayer in Ephesians 3:16–19 that inspired these lyrics. It's a prayer that has been repeated by many generations, asking God to bless us with his Spirit so that He can live in our hearts. Simply put, this is a prayer for spiritual renewal. The lyrics beautifully thank God for blessing us with the Holy Spirit and recognize that we can't make it without His strength and courage all throughout our lives. This is highlighted with lines like, "What a gift to receive your spirit" and "How we need you to breathe your power."

Aaron Goodhew - Fill Us AgainAaron Goodhew is a passionate worship leader from the Gold Coast of Australia and wrote this song as an earnest prayer for renewal. The verses speak about God's constant presence, and the chorus asks for the Spirit to "fall afresh." The core message is an invitation to build a deeper intimacy with God, and asks Him to "overwhelm us" and "fan the embers (of faith) into flame." Can you already feel it? Or should we ask, are you ready to feel it? He is already standing next to you, waiting to bless you with His Spirit, and it is up to you to ask for more of His presence.

So, if you're looking for fresh sparks to ignite your fire or simply want to reconnect with His Spirit's power, may this song ignite your heart. His fullness is available to all who seek Him…. He's already at your door!

(Related scripture: Ephesians 3:16-19; Acts 2:1-4; Joel 2:28)

"Holy Forever" by Stephanie Staples: When Music Becomes an Offering

(by Jasper Tan) Stephanie Staples has just recently released her own rendition of Chris Tomlin’s recent critically acclaimed worship song “Holy Forever”. For this version, Stephanie transforms this song into a soulful and reverent version of this classic hit. While Tomlin’s version is more grandiose and soaring, Stephanie’s version feels more grounded and meditative. Leaning on her more emotive expression of the song, this version offers an alternative listen to a song that is well loved by this generation of Christian worshippers. Just like Tomlin’s original version, "Holy Forever" themes gives focus on eternal worship and the unchanging dominion of Jesus Christ over us. The song gives reverence to the value and the importance of having Jesus in our life. Our continued reverence and submission to him is crucial in our quest to know him more and understand how his presence in our life transforms us to become better Christians. Foremost to this is accepting the fact that Jesus...

"Soon and Very Soon" by Robby Robinson: Why This Classic Still Hits Like the First Time

What if one song could carry the weight of every hardship you've ever faced, and still leave you smiling? That's exactly what Andraé Crouch accomplished in 1978 when he wrote "Soon and Very Soon," and this new recording by Robby Robinson, Tony Galla, and Ray Reynolds makes sure you feel every bit of it.  The song is based on Revelation 21:3–4, reminding us of what's coming: no more crying, no more dying, just the glorious moment we finally see the King. Simple words, but it carries a profound promise.  Crouch was honest about the journey. There are "rivers we must cross" and "mountains we must climb." He emphasizes the truth that faith doesn't erase our struggles — it sustains us through them. God, as the lyrics remind us, will "supply all the strength that we need."   Featuring powerhouse vocalists Tony Galla and Ray Reynolds, Robinson blends this classic gospel energy with a rich, Hammond-organ-driven groove. Rather than a slow...

"Going Outta My Mind" by Fisher of Men: He Challenges You to Stop Living for Yourself

(by Jasper Tan) "Going Outta My Mind" by Fisher of Men is a modern indie pop CCM song that focuses on the suffocating nature of being self-centered, rather than being freed by the truth of God's love. With the lines "Yeah I've been livin' in my head too long, spinnin' every little worry like a broken song," it quickly establishes our tendency to dwell on our problems. And once we get in too deep with it, we more often than not get drowned by the darkness it brings. These intrusive thoughts are not healthy for us. And the only way to break free from these thoughts is to acknowledge and receive God's love, and place your problems in His care.  A simple "tap" by Jesus is all that it takes to be set free from this cycle of darkness. But the question is, are we ready to acknowledge it and let go? Jesus is always there ready to offer His help. He's always there ready to offer His friendship. Are we ready to receive it? Are we ready for H...
