It happens to all of us. And maybe to some of us more often than others.
This season of wandering, floundering, seeking, and wondering.
A dry season of our soul.

A time where we walk through life not sure how to connect with the God who created us, even after years of knowing and loving Him.
Am I alone?
When nothing else speaks to me during the dry time, music will. Worship in the form of powerful lyrics combined with a soul-stirring melody is the catalyst I need to awaken my dry, empty soul.
And so tonight I share. I share a song of worship that’s speaking to my soul, pulling me out of the desert and into life giving waters again.
I pray it is a blessing to you and that God’s Spirit falls afresh on your heart, waking you from your soul’s sleep as I’m awakening from mine.

Fall Afresh by Bethel Music (featuring Jeremy Riddle)
Awaken my soul, come awake
To hunger, to seek, to thirst
Awaken first love, come awake
And do as you did, at first
Spirit of the living God come fall afresh on me
Come wake me from my sleep
Blow through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow
To overflow
Awaken my soul, come awake
To worship with all your strength
Spirit of the living God come fall afresh on me
Come wake me from my sleep
Blow through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow
Come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade
Spirit come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade
Spirit of the living God come fall afresh on me
Come wake me from my sleep
Blow through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow
To overflow
Do you have a song of worship that’s speaking to you right now? Share in the comments and it might show up on another edition of Worship Wednesday. Thank you all for sharing this journey with me, dry season and all.
That same song speaks to me every time it plays. Lifting you up in prayer, LeeAnn. Blessings.
I know, I often listen to it on repeat.
Thank you so much Beth! 🙂
My Lighthouse 🙂 It’s upbeat and reminds me I’m never too lost as long as I have Jesus’ light guiding me
Oh I love that song! I love pretty much all the songs that come out of Bethel! One that has been staying with me for a LONG time now is Oceans… I love that one! Also – This one by All Sons and Daughters… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHz0w-HG4iU&feature=kp
“It’s Your breath in our lungs…” It gets me every time!
Karrille, YES – “Great Are You Lord” is so. good. Thanks for reminding me about that one!
And Oceans. Again. So. Good.
Have you ever been to see Hillsong in concert? Oh man, there is no comparison to worship there. Absolutely incredible.
I have had a hard season of connecting with God. But worship always draws me into His presence and helps me to realize how close He is, even during times of silence. Thank you for sharing!
Those times of silence are so challenging, especially when we’re asking God to speak to us but it seems like all we hear is nothing. Glad we’re journeying this life together, through all the different seasons, even the hard ones.
I think we all have those dry seasons. I certainly do. I don’t have a particular worship song that refreshes my soul, but I’ve been listening to Aaron Shust when I need to reconnect with the Lord. His music helps me get lost in God, which is a beautiful place to be.
Yes, love My Hope Is In You by Aaron Shust – and there are lots of other great ones too. Getting lost in God definitely is always a beautiful place to be. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Melissa! 🙂
