Song Meaning of “Fill this House” by John P. Kee
John P. Kee’s song “Fill This House” speaks to the power of the spirit of God to fill us up and bring us hope. The song begins by asserting that God’s spirit is powerful and that it can fill this house, a metaphor meant to connote any place we need God’s presence in our lives. The refrain implores listeners to ask for the presence of God, to allow his spirit to come and fill our home with his steadying presence.
Verse one makes a plea to God that although the world skies are heavy and filled with fear, it is his promise of hope that can become a source of strength for those who turn to him in their time of need. The second verse reminds us of God’s presence in all aspects of our life, from our homes to our work to our play. We are invited to call on God in every moment, at every hour and ask for his presence to fill our lives.
Finally, the chorus drives home the point that God’s spirit is a source of peace and comfort, providing support and solace during moments of great strife. It urges us to let God’s peaceful presence fill up our entire lives, so that even in the toughest of times, we can feel a connection to him. By allowing his spirit to fill our home, we can gain a new perspective on life and carry on with strength and hope.
