"Dwell in Me" by John Groves: An Empowering song of Prayer, Worship, and Surrender


(by Jasper Tan) John Groves' latest single, "Dwell in Me," is a beautifully written song that takes you on a journey of encountering God and getting to know him deeper as we build our relationship with him. It beautifully highlights one's yearning to get to know God and, at the same time, offers a prayer that God grants us his grace to be able to grow in his love and grace. It's a very honest song that acknowledges one's deficiencies when it comes to understanding the magnitude of God's love. And even with our own will to seek him, it will never be enough until the Holy Spirit dwells within us. And that acknowledgement fuels our hunger to get to know God more. The song is inspired by the book of Ephesians 3:14–21, which started out as a prayer but was arranged beautifully as a song that one can sing. It's a prayer of spiritual strength for believers in Jesus.

John Groves - Dwell in MeThe song is an acoustically driven track that starts with a calming and chill vibe, with each new element being added as the song progresses. These progressions build beautifully to carry the lyrics of the song and highlight the key words and messages with a perfect blend of sincere storytelling, or should I say a well-versed prayer. The song evokes a hopeful tone that one can describe as akin to a sunrise that one can visualize as a new dawn breaking. The song is best listened to when one is in a mood of introspection and reflection. This is where the song could touch the listener best and works as a vehicle for people to be able to sing-along to the song and be their own prayer as one longs to walk with the Lord. Make John Groves' "Dwell in Me" a part of your reflection session; you can never go wrong with this song.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21)

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. 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.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. 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...

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith.
