Bradon Lake “More” Melodies of Mercy (feat Hastings & Leeland)

There was a time when I thought the best way to deal with pain was to bury it. I tried to hide my feelings, drown out daily life, and numb disappointments with whatever I could reach. But the more I pushed it down, the more it surfaced. The truth is, numbing never fixes the problem — it only delays it. That’s why More resonates so deeply. It’s a song that reminds us that what we really need isn’t escape, it’s encounter.

Brandon Lake, joined by Benjamin William Hastings and Leeland, has a gift for writing worship that cuts through the noise and points us to the heart of God. More is a cry for His presence, a declaration that nothing else satisfies. It was born out of the realization that we can chase distractions, but only God can heal the places we try to hide.

Scripture declares: Psalm 42:1 – “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” That verse captures the longing behind this song — the deep thirst that no amount of numbing can quench. I’ve lived that tension, trying to fill the void with temporary fixes, but finding that only His presence brings lasting peace.

The message of More also echoes the words of Jesus: John 7:37–38 – “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me… out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” That’s the promise this song carries — that when we come to Him, He doesn’t just meet our need, He overflows it.

And when I think about the futility of trying to forget pain, I’m reminded of Paul’s words: Philippians 3:13–14 – “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” That’s not about denial — it’s about release. It’s about letting go of what numbing could never heal and pressing into the fullness of Christ.

This song is more than melody; it’s a prayer for transformation. If you’ve ever tried to push pain away only to find it still lingering, let this be the reminder that God offers more — more healing, more peace, more joy, more of Himself. Now is the time to stop running from the ache and start running toward the One who can redeem it.
