Go Deeper by Belinda Adu: The Prayer of a Thirsty Soul


Belinda Adu's song 'Go Deeper' is a prayer set to an upbeat melody. It's a plea for a deeper relationship with God, and asks the Holy Spirit to fill us and rekindle a fire within. As I listen, I am reminded of Psalm 42:1–2: '… My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?'

Belinda Adu - Go DeeperBelinda beautifully captures our desire to feel God's love and guidance, 'I want you to fill me up // 'Cause I feel empty // Come on and pour your // Spirit out once again.' Lyrics that are so relevant when you're feeling spiritually exhausted and crave to feel God's refreshing touch in your life. 

The chorus emphasizes that God is all we need: 'You are enough // You are all that I need // All I want // Is for you to go deep // Start a fire from within.' What is the sense of resisting, when all we need to do is accept the invitation to let God lead and quench our spiritual thirst with His living water? Belinda's sincerity makes this song very relatable, leading you from hearing the lyrics to feeling it in your heart and dropping to your knees to make this your own prayer. 

It shouldn't come as a surprise that listening to 'Go Deeper' is a spiritual experience. Belinda's song leads the way to opening your heart to God so that He can refresh you with His Spirit no matter how thirsty you are. 

Need spiritual refreshment? Listen to 'Go Deeper' today to strengthen your relationship with God.

"Clothed With Dignity" by Grace Frances: Trading Shame for a New Identity

Your worth was never up for negotiation.  Grace Frances wrote “Clothed With Dignity” from a place most of us recognize (in some form or other) but will rarely admit out loud. She carried old regrets like a second skin, calling herself names that her past mistakes didn’t deserve. “I demonize the girl I was, when she was just trying to survive,” she sings, and that line hurts. Haven’t we all judged ourselves for choices that we made while simply trying to get through the day? Even choices that seemed to be fine in the moment, but proved to be otherwise over time.  Grace’s breakthrough didn't come from fixing herself, but from surrendering… surrendering to God. “You clothe me with dignity,” she declares, describing a moment where self-condemnation lost its grip and grace took over.  Grace’s story is fairly similar to the story found in Isaiah 61:10 —  “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; h...

"Just Believe" by For Him: When Doubt Isn't Disqualifying

Can you believe without having all the answers? Some people wait at the edge of faith for years, arms crossed, waiting to feel ready. “Just Believe” was written by For Him for exactly that person — the one who wants to trust Jesus but still carries a list of questions. The song grew out of that in-between space, where doubt and faith sit side-by-side and neither one of them wins outright. Gritty Southern-rock guitars carry lyrics that ask a two-thousand-year-old question: “Could Love have worn a human face?” The answer to that question brings purpose and comfort to our lives. The song doesn’t demand certainty before you move. It invites wonder instead. “You don’t have to shape your future // He begins where you can’t reach.” The message and intent of this song make it clear that you don’t need to figure out everything first before you can take a step toward God.  A man quoted in the gospel of Mark understood this tension better than most of us. Desperate for his son to be healed,...

"I've Got Joy" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Why Joy Isn't the Same as Happiness

Sorrow and joy can share the same room. “I’ve Got Joy” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was triggered by a telephone call. Tyler reconnected with an old friend who’d been going through a period of loneliness. Tyler shares: “We talked at length about the season of loneliness he was experiencing, and we discussed a few other topics that are reflected in the verses.” This triggered Tyler to tackle this concept of having Joy, and it became clear that “I’ve Got Joy” isn’t the same as “I’ve Got Happiness” . Joy is more than happiness, and it certainly isn’t a painted-on smile. Tyler makes that distinction on purpose, because he’s writing about the nights he spent “down to my last prayer,” and about sitting “in a room full of people” while feeling completely invisible. He’s writing about all of the kneeling and “begging for the answer to a question I can’t speak.” That’s real, and that’s most of us, on our worst weeks. The chorus takes us back to “joy”. Tyler sings: “I’ve got joy in my lungs, ye...
