"Deliver Me" by Demaree Hill: Breaking Free Through Faith


Demaree Hill - Deliver Me

"Deliver Me" by Demaree Hill is all about breaking free from the chains of our past, with God by our side leading the way and fighting our fight. This song is about Demaree's personal journey through toxic relationships, emotional abuse, and the weight of some poor decisions. Demaree shares how it would feel as if she would be standing at a crossroad, with the familiarity of past wounds in one direction and the unknown promise of freedom in the other direction. She writes, "Even when I knew God was calling me forward, fear and temptation tried to pull me back."

As Demaree sings, "I need you to part the sea // I know on the other side // You have so much more for my life," her cry for deliverance — an acknowledgment that, on her own, she is powerless to break the cycle. Demaree chooses to trust in His ability to lead her into the life that He has prepared for her.

The lyrics are filled with struggle and surrender, acknowledging how powerless we are on our own, "Not by my own strength // Lord, show me your way." The lyrics show that we shouldn't just be crying for divine intervention, but we also need to be prepared to surrender to whatever direction He takes us. The repeated plea in the song, "Deliver, deliver, deliver me," isn't a passive plea where we can just sit back and expect God to do the rest. We also have a part to play, "Lord, show me your way." God opens doors of possibilities and freedom; He heals and even gives us strength to move forward, but He can't force us to "eat." He delivers, and it's journeys like Demaree's that show us that His promises aren't empty. Deliverance is within your reach, and you can start that path right now!

This song is for anyone who's ever felt trapped, afraid, or tempted to fall back to what's familiar but still long for more. May Demaree's journey encourage you to say "yes" to God's promises. Ask… He will heal and strengthen you, and guide the way to deliverance.

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...
