Arcadia Worship's 'Overflows (Live)': A River of Renewal


You've got to listen to Arcadia Worship's new song, 'Overflows (Live).' It's a heartfelt plea for God to enter our life, heal the brokenness in our heart (and the world around us), and shape us. Just like rivers can shape rocks and canyons, and water can find its way through the barricades. The lyrics call for a divine restoration and witnessing the impact of God's love and justice. 

Arcadia Worship - Overflows (Live)The opening lines, 'This world you created, this land that you gave us,' remind us that our lives are gifts, His gifts to us, a gift with a larger plan behind it. But, as imperfect as we are, 'Our sin has made dirty' the gift that was meant for beauty. The chorus is where you really feel the heartbeat of the song: 'Let your river run deep into our soul, carve a canyon into our heart of stone.' A reminder that we really need God's redeeming love to 'flood' / saturate every part of our life and the community around us. 

The live recording of 'Overflows' was made last March, and has already touched so many hearts. The band shares that they receive inquiries about the song almost every week, people eager to know more about the artist and where to find it. An official release of the song is a logical next step, and they hope that it will find its way into the hearts of listeners and encourage lives of worship & reflection outside of the church walls and Sunday services. 

May the plea in this song extend into your streets and homes, asking God to fill it with His justice and love until it overflows. And may this song encourage you to live a life that prayerfully reflects His image.

(Related scripture: Ezekiel 36:26; Amos 5:24; Isaiah 58:11)

"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...

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
