"Spirit Divine" by Rachael Sey: Surrendering to the Holy Spirit


Are you feeling stretched thin and empty inside despite all of the activity around? Rachael Sey has been there, and that's when she wrote the song "Spirit Divine." Rachael didn't need more busyness in her life, she craved for presence… His presence! Her longing became a prayer: "Holy Spirit, fill us up." This song is her response to that quiet longing, and it's also an invitation to anyone who is carrying around hidden burdens or has a deep longing for more of God in their lives. 

Rachael Sey - Spirit DivineThe lyrics echo the surrender and trust we need to have in our heart: "Holy Spirit, come and dwell within / Fill us up with power from on high." A prayer for renewal, asking God to guide us into His truth and freedom. The chorus continues this cry for renewal, "Spirit Divine, Spirit Divine / Come and fill us with Your light divine." Rachael shows us both the simplicity and depth of prayer and how prayer is your connection to God… a connection that is just one breath away. 

The message of this song is a lifeline, reminding us that the Holy Spirit meets us right where we are, in good times or lesser times, ready to change and align our hearts, and help us to focus our eyes on God. When He fills those empty spaces in your life, everything shifts. 

If you're feeling weary or distant, may this song not only offer you comfort and hope, but also encourage you to whisper this prayer over your own life, and let Him fill you breath by breath.

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"Praise You In The Morning" by Taylor Pride: Waking up to the sound of Worship

(by Jasper Tan) Taylor Pride's latest single, "Praise You In The Morning" is an uplifting song that is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness in different seasons and circumstances. The song is an acknowledgement that even if we are facing hardships and difficulties, we should still continue to praise God, for he is our provider and protector. And that he has promised to redeem us in his perfect time. The song follows an established style of Taylor's "heart-on-your-sleeve" type of worship song, drawing inspiration for this song's music from the likes of Cody Carnes and Phil Wickham's songs, the likes of which are simple with an easy-to-sing chorus layered by joyful sounds. The lyrics serve as a prayer for those in the "desert seasons," suggesting that praise is a choice made even in times of uncertainty with our faith. The song uses the transition from night to day as a metaphor for moving from weeping to hope. It is a modern worship...
