"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)

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...
