"Fill Us Again" by Aaron Goodhew: A Cry for Spiritual Renewal


Aaron Goodhew's song "Fill Us Again" is about wanting to feel the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Aaron shared that it was a prayer in Ephesians 3:16–19 that inspired these lyrics. It's a prayer that has been repeated by many generations, asking God to bless us with his Spirit so that He can live in our hearts. Simply put, this is a prayer for spiritual renewal. The lyrics beautifully thank God for blessing us with the Holy Spirit and recognize that we can't make it without His strength and courage all throughout our lives. This is highlighted with lines like, "What a gift to receive your spirit" and "How we need you to breathe your power."

Aaron Goodhew - Fill Us AgainAaron Goodhew is a passionate worship leader from the Gold Coast of Australia and wrote this song as an earnest prayer for renewal. The verses speak about God's constant presence, and the chorus asks for the Spirit to "fall afresh." The core message is an invitation to build a deeper intimacy with God, and asks Him to "overwhelm us" and "fan the embers (of faith) into flame." Can you already feel it? Or should we ask, are you ready to feel it? He is already standing next to you, waiting to bless you with His Spirit, and it is up to you to ask for more of His presence.

So, if you're looking for fresh sparks to ignite your fire or simply want to reconnect with His Spirit's power, may this song ignite your heart. His fullness is available to all who seek Him…. He's already at your door!

(Related scripture: Ephesians 3:16-19; Acts 2:1-4; Joel 2:28)

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

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...

"Follow Jesus" by S.D.G.: Unity Through One Teacher

"Follow Jesus" by S.D.G. (Soli.Deo.Gloria) is a song that started in a miraculous way. S.D.G. shared that 95% of the song lyrics, melody, and harmony came to mind completely unexpectedly in 1–2 days. He compares it to lightning, lightly, seemingly without his effort, as if somebody else from High sent it all to him and said, "do it"!  A song sparked by the realization that many people just say, "Has not been born on earth yet… // Man who can wisely teach me life." But look at Jesus! He's already here, sowing love and offering wisdom that is way beyond human understanding.  The song challenges us to reflect on our feelings of pride and self-reliance: "When I do say - I'm always right… Am I not blind?" It invites us to exchange our arrogance for humility and reminds us that Christ already lives among us and guides us with His grace. "Jesus - He lives in our midst, // He's the best teacher that the earth has ever known!"   Th...
