Kim Walker-Smith - Fresh Outpouring Lyrics
Lyrics
Renew us in this day
Just like You said You would
Your word is not in vain
Our hearts reaching heavenward
Fresh outpouring
Tear the fabric open
Come, Jesus come
Breath of Heaven
Nothing left unshaken
We long for more
We need a fresh outpouring
Unleash a fresh outpouring
We need a fresh outpouring
Unleash a fresh outpouring
As temporary fades
Let glory invade this Earth
Your power on display
Our eyes looking heavenward
There is fire stirring in our bones
A shout is rising, rising up inside
Soak the Earth, come and fill our hearts
Your voice is calling, calling us to life

Jesus Culture - Fresh Outpouring (Live) ft. Kim Walker-Smith
Meaning & Inspiration
"Fresh Outpouring," a powerful anthem from Jesus Culture featuring Kim Walker-Smith, released on December 7, 2017, isn't merely a song; it's a fervent prayer set to music, a cry for divine intervention in our everyday lives. The very title encapsulates the song's core desire: a renewed, powerful influx of God's presence and spirit, much like the promised outpouring spoken of by the prophets. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a generation yearning for more than the status quo, seeking a tangible encounter with the divine that transforms the mundane into the magnificent. The repeated plea to "renew us in this day, just like You said You would" echoes the anticipation found in Isaiah 44:3, where God declares, "For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants." This isn't a passive wish, but an active declaration of faith in God's faithfulness to His promises.
The "fresh outpouring" is further described as something that will "tear the fabric open," suggesting a powerful, disruptive force that breaks through the ordinary and reveals the extraordinary. This imagery resonates with the tearing of the heavens experienced by Jesus at his baptism, a visible manifestation of the Spirit’s descent (Matthew 3:16). The invitation, "Come, Jesus come," coupled with the reference to the "Breath of Heaven," directly invokes the Holy Spirit, the very life-giving essence of God, as spoken of in Ezekiel 37:9 where the prophet is commanded to call to the breath, "Come, O Spirit, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live!" The aspiration for "nothing left unshaken" speaks to a radical transformation, a shaking that uproots the old and makes way for the new, aligning with the scriptural truth that God's voice causes the earth to tremble (Psalm 99:1) and His presence brings profound change. The recurring refrain of needing and unleashing this "fresh outpouring" underscores a deep spiritual hunger and a belief that God’s power, once released, will have a transformative effect not just on individuals, but on the world around them.
The song then transitions to a more profound articulation of this desire, stating, "As temporary fades, let glory invade this Earth." This expresses a longing for the eternal to supersede the fleeting, a profound recognition that true fulfillment is found not in the transient things of this world, but in the enduring presence of God’s glory. The vision of "Your power on display" and "Our eyes looking heavenward" is a direct reflection of Moses' desire to see God's glory fully revealed (Exodus 33:18), and the ultimate fulfillment of this in Christ, who is the radiance of God's glory (Hebrews 1:3). The burning conviction, "There is fire stirring in our bones, a shout is rising, rising up inside," is a powerful metaphor for the internal conviction and boldness that comes from the Spirit. This mirrors the experience of the prophets and apostles, who were filled with an uncontainable message and a righteous zeal. The final plea to "Soak the Earth, come and fill our hearts, Your voice is calling, calling us to life" serves as a potent conclusion, a prayer for God's Spirit to saturate creation and to bring resurrection power to every aspect of our beings, echoing John 7:38, "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." "Fresh Outpouring" is a profound testament to the enduring power of God's Spirit and the deep human need for His constant, renewing presence.
