"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)

Skillet - Valley of Death (CCM)

Skillet has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Valley of Death. The global health crisis of the last two years has led to numerous questions regarding why bad things happen to good people. Skillet's John Cooper explains why he believes God allowed the pandemic to happen. Skillet has released their new album Dominion through Atlantic Records last Friday (Jan. 14). A discussion with 'Loudwire Nights' host Toni Gonzalez brought up the track "Valley of Death," which contains the lyrics: "Someone said this is all part of the plan / But I don't understand." Gonzalez then asked him why he thinks God would allow a pandemic. This is what Cooper said: "Well, the first answer is that we're not good people. We're all fallen and we are all in desperate need of salvation through Jesus. So, we're not actually good people, we all do bad stuff. We all cheat, we've all lied, we're all greedy and as much as the most lov...

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith. The opening line, "How wonderful is the cross of Christ,"  draws us into praise.  The song invites us to repentance and faith, but more importantly, the lyrics magnify the Trinity: the Father's eternal plan, the Son's sacrifice, and the Spirit's ongoing work in us. The song celebrates how every part of God is involved in redeeming us!  Have you ever wondered how a song can feel so unifying? That's the beauty of this song! It calls us, the Church, to stand together in bold praise. Instead of focusing on what divides us, it points us upwards, looking to our God who is glorious in love, power, and purpose. It encourages us to see the love of the Father, the blood of the Son, and how it is applied by the Holy Spirit.  There's no abstract theology in this song… the ...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
