'I See Angels' by Doug Deforest: Encounter Hope in the Middle of Darkness


On occasion, you may feel like you're emotionally in a dark place and the outlook is quite hopeless. If that's where you're currently at, then Doug Deforest's 'I See Angels' is most likely a song for you. The song was born during a time of struggling with depression, and it literally came to Doug in the middle of the night, when everything seemed to fail. It isn't uncommon that when we're more or less at rock bottom, it's God's messages that come to us the loudest. 

Doug Deforest - I See AngelsIn "I See Angels," you could be hearing an echo of your own challenges. The lyrics not only describe what it's like to be engulfed in gloom; they also show that there is hope around you, even when you are not yet capable of seeing it. There are angels around us that point us towards God's love and remind us that we're never really alone. 

The lyrics whispers a powerful truth: no matter how massive the waves are, there is always a hand that is reaching out to us in our storms. As Christians, we're reminded that some of the most dramatic rescues aren't from physical danger, but from the depths of our own despair. Doug's angels remind us that God's helpers come in many forms, that it is God's comfort that wraps around us even in our bleakest moments, and that persistence in faith can turn the tide. 

So press play and let "I See Angels" fill the room. Let it be your companion on your journey and a remind you that when life gets rough, we have unseen angels ready to cheer us on and show us the way forward.

(Related scripture: Psalm 91:11-12; Hebrews 1:14; 2 Kings 6:17)

Rowland Sunday's EP 'Community of Praise, Vol. 1' has another song that we want to share with you. The (CCM) song is called 'Take All The Glory (Te Dou Toda Glória/Recibe La Gloria)'. Parts of this song are sung in Portugees and Spanish. We are touched by this group! The ingredients that make us want to listen to more songs are difficult to describe, but I trust that it becomes clear as you watch the video and listen to the passion with which the lyrics are shared.  Rowland summarized this song in the following manner: "In the place of devotion, God speaks, and our mouth opens up, and sing in Praise and worship to Him the Most High - Take all the Glory Jesus!" Lyrics: Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!

"Miracles" by Yair Levi: You Don't Need a Burning Sky to Believe

The song “Miracles” by Yair Levi starts before the sun rises, in the quiet of an ordinary morning. No dramatic sign. No burning sky. Just a man waking up, closing his eyes, and saying “toda” , the Hebrew word for “thank you.” That single word sets the tone for everything that this song is about.  The song’s message is simple and powerful… God doesn’t need burning skies to prove that He’s real. Yair uses a quote by Steve Jobs that reframes everything: “If you smile // if you laugh // You are more // Rich than me.” In the next verse, he continues: “Like a bird // On the breeze // Like the first time // You breath // Help me see // Simple things.” What if the miracle you’ve been waiting for is already here, hiding in plain sight? Levi points out that everyday life can be seen as sacred ground. Wherever you look, you’ll see small miracles. Think about the breath in your lungs, the morning light, your ability to feel joy… these aren’t small things, they’re miracles!  May this so...
