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)

"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...

"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...

"The Manger King" by Prestonwood Worship: God With Us, Hope For The World

Where do you find hope this Christmas? “The Manger King” by Prestonwood Worship opens with a question and gives you no time to dodge it: “Can you hear it? Can you see it now?” A strong male lead and a full choir carry the song, with strings, piano, synths and drums building a sound big enough for the news it brings. The news is Emmanuel, “God with us” . Matthew 1:22–23 gives the name its meaning: “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us)” . Think about that. The Creator of Heaven and Earth chose a feeding trough, a cold night, and a poor family. He didn’t shout from a distance. He came close enough to touch. The lyrics make it clear how Love came, “In the silence, heaven touched the ground.” Does your silence feel heavy? Are you going through a hard season, a strained family table, confronted with an empty chair? Do you believe He enters ...
