Fall Afresh
Jeremy Riddle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
to overflow
Spirit come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade
Spirit come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade
When Jeremy Riddle talks about awakening his soul, he is referring to the need to reconnect with God and to feel the intensity of that connection. This is trying to communicate the intense hunger we all have inside of us to know God more and hear from him. The line "awaken first love" is actually a reference to the Bible, where it talks about forgetting our first love for God. In this case, Riddle is asking God to help him remember and reignite that love.
The chorus of the song asks for the Spirit of the Living God to come and fall afresh on the listener. This is a prayer that God will renew and refresh their spirit, helping them to move forward and grow in their faith. The line "blow through the caverns of my soul" is a metaphorical way of asking God to help clear out any obstacles or blockages in their relationship, so that they can truly hear and receive from Him. The central message of the song Fall Afresh is a plea for the Holy Spirit to fill the listener's soul and to help them experience the fullness of God's love.

Esther Child of God
This is WONDERful... π God speaks through his Word:
I will raise up Cyrus in my
righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.
He will rebuild my city
and set my exiles FREE
but not for a price or reward,
says the Lord Almighty.
The products of Egypt and the
merchandise of Cush,
and those tall Sabeans -
they will come over to you
and will be yours;
they will trugde behind you,
coming over to you in chains.
They will bow down before you
and plead with you, saying,
'Surely GOD is with You, and there is
no other;
there is no other god.'
Isaiah 45;13-15

I lost my place, my girl and I broke up, and I was in deep pain from my friends betraying me. I started fasting and I only played this song for 4 days. I rededicated and surrendered my life to Jesus. It was through this video God spoke to me the most. Iβll never be the same. Yes I lost everything, but I gained so much more!!!!!

I am the same, right now broken into pieces. Trying to rebuild.
