'I Need You' by Olly Kiff - Echoing Our Heart’s True Cry


Have you ever felt so down and out that the only words you could muster in prayer were a simple, 'God, I need You'? That is the key message behind Olly Kiff's song, 'I Need You.' Coming from deep desperation, a cry for God to be with you in your darkest of times. Possibly the lyrics are echoing your own need for the God who holds everything in His mighty hands. 

Olly Kiff - I Need YouThis song is more like the words of a prayer that Olly is sharing with us. It's a reminder that it's perfectly fine if we don't know what to do next, because we have a Heavenly Father who's got us. He has been holding us in the past, present, and will continue to hold us in future, caring for us in ways we can't even begin to understand. I believe 'I Need You' isn't just Olly's heart that is being laid bare; it's the echo of many souls (maybe even yours), a song that lovingly wraps around our struggles and whispers, 'You're not alone.' 

So, take a moment, sit down, and hit play. Allow Olly's honest plea to draw you closer to the One who can fill you when you're feeling empty, hold you close when you're feeling lost, and carry you when you're too tired to stand on your own. Your greatest strength starts by admitting that you need God. Let 'I Need You' by Olly Kiff touch your heart and help you to open your heart and let God's love and strength come into your life.

(Related scripture: Psalm 73:26; Jeremiah 29:13; 2 Corinthians 12:9)

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"You Are Holy" by Spirit Worship: Honest Worship When Hope Runs Thin

Honest worship starts exactly where your pain is. Years of loss pushed the songwriter behind “You Are Holy” into a wilderness. Loved ones died, jobs and homes disappeared, health and finances faltered, and a church plant that failed. Most worship songs felt dishonest to him during that season, so the Psalms became his lifeline. “You Are Holy” sits down beside you and tells the truth. “It’s hard to be patient with nothing but time.” “It’s hard to be hopeful when everything dies.” Have you ever whispered something like that? That’s okay, it’s what we do next that makes a difference! “Yet though I am suffering, I’ll trust in Your name.” David faced that same kind of challenge in Psalm 13. He opens with “How long, O LORD?” and lands here: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” His circumstances barely moved between the first verse and verse five, but his gaze did. You can do the same today. Be honest with God. Tell Him exactly how heavy e...
