A Refreshing Anthem: "Living Water" by Coming Kingdom


"Living Water" is the final track on Coming Kingdom's debut EP, 'Awakening'. The song was penned and performed by Zac Carpenter, together with Joel Lane, Brendan Lee, and Bethany Tucker. It's a song that has been transformational in times of worship within the Croydon Vineyard church community. It's a song of invitation, submission, and expectation. Invite the Holy Spirit to make a real impact in your day-to-day life, surrender your heart and mind to God, and expect His powerful presence in everything you do and whatever challenges you face.

Coming Kingdom - Living WaterThis song is meant to reach into your heart and give words to your deepest longing for God's refreshing touch. Life is meaningless when we try to leave God out of the equation, and it's lines like "Spirit, come and fall afresh on us" and "Rain down, Spirit of God" that perfectly capture that longing. 

"Living Water" is a prayer, a plea to God, set to music, asking the Holy Spirit to come into our lives and change us with His boundless love and grace. May this song support your prayers to God to move, restore, and fill your life with His living water.

(Related scripture: John 7:38; Isaiah 44:3; Acts 2:17)

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...

"Returning - Live" by Victory House Worship: Waiting with Fire in Our Lamps

“Returning — Live” by Victory House Worship makes us aware that all of creation seems to hold its breath. “The earth is groaning for redemption, Creation reaches for Her King.” That’s the present-day reality that the apostle Paul described centuries ago, and Victory House Worship beautifully captures that in this song. The lyrics don’t dwell only on what Jesus already did at the cross; it looks forward. “The oil in our lamps is burning, For Him who was and is and is returning.” That line carries the whole weight of our Christian hope: Past, present, and future, all coming together in One. Jesus! The bridges elaborates on this hope, comparing His first coming with His second coming. “Though You came as a Lamb, You’ll return as a Lion.” Gentleness gave way to sacrifice once. With His next coming, sacrifice will give way to triumph. Romans 8:22–23 describes the groaning: “the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now… waiting eagerly for adoption as...
