"Spirit Come" by GRANDE: An Uplifting Encounter with God's Presence


GRANDE's new song 'Spirit Come' is inspired by an amazing experience during a trip to Asia. In late 2023, while visiting Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines, GRANDE faced the challenges of being away from family and had to deal with a lot of internal dynamics. 

GRANDE - Spirit ComeOne day, at a conference in Malaysia, the Spirit of God filled GRANDE with a deep sense of peace and belonging. Although he was far away from home, he felt at home in a church full of strangers because he felt the Spirit of God. 

Everything in life has a purpose in God's plan, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that God brought this experience to memory after he had returned home and inspired him to write 'Spirit Come'. 

The lyrics of 'Spirit Come' beautifully capture this powerful experience of the Spirit of God comforting and loving us no matter where we are. The lyrics speak of opening our hearts and eyes to God's love, inviting the Holy Spirit to flow into our lives like a river of gladness. The song calls for God's fire to fall and His mercy to rain down on us. It is through this song that GRANDE reminds us that it doesn't matter where we are, the Spirit of God is always with us, comforting and guiding us. 

May you open your heart to God's love, invite His Holy Spirit to flow into all parts of your life, and bless you with His mercy and grace.

(Related scripture: John 14:26; Acts 2:17; Romans 15:13)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...
