"You Never Forget Me" by Erica Velasquez: A Reminder That God Never Stops


Erica Velasquez - You Never Forget Me

"You Never Forget Me" by Erica Velasquez is a beautiful reminder that God never stops! God's love for us is relentless. He is faithful to us, even though we turn a deaf ear to Him or even may shout that He doesn't exist! Erica's song comes from her own journey of wrestling with sin, shame, and exhaustion, chasing her own priorities instead of living the life God wanted her to live. Erica shares, "Every day felt heavy, like my faith was weak and I was burning out trying to fix life on my own. I fooled myself into thinking I could do it all alone." Then she cried out to God in prayer. 

The lyrics of this song capture this change: "I was a wreck most of my life // You found me trapped in my disguise." Although she felt lost, the truth is that: "All along you were by my side." In the chorus Erica reminds us: "When I feel I'm drowning // Your grace is safe to breathe in." Even in doubt, His love catches us, "Cuz even when I forget you, you never forget me." 

The bridge echoes Psalm 147:4: "You remember the stars, remember my name // But every wrong you will erase." God knows each of us personally, and He chooses to forgive fully. 

Maybe you're feeling forgotten or overwhelmed… May this song remind you that: "… God never stops fighting for us. Our souls are precious to Him. We are his children, and he will never give up on us. Every day, he gives us new strength and fresh faith so we can choose him"

(Related scripture: Psalm 147:4; Isaiah 43:25; Hebrews 4:16)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
