I just woke up at 3am needing to hear this song to be reminded that no entity, person or spirit would want to get as close to me than God, Christ my redeemer ❤️
I'm so sorry for the loss you have suffered .. 🙏🏼 I pray your strength in the Lord, the lifter of our heads.. the One True King of our hearts. I pray you experience more than ever before, and more and more each new day, the very tangible presence of God and how he truly Loves you and how he truly is aware of you and your thoughts and feelings concerning Him.. ..know that each and every concern you have, our Father God is aware of them all.... no thing goes unnoticed by him and nothing is too small or big.. I pray you see.. that he responds to you throughout each moment, of every day, and that he's walking right beside you always.. always hearing, even the words you cannot speak.. he hears your hearts cry and he will never forget. He is holding you in the palm of his Mighty hand.. and You Matter.. So. Very. Much. to Him. The songs within you matter, Rae.. Your precious life song matters.. Very much to him. God will still get the Glory... Your time here is not finished. ❤️ Holy Spirit is singing messages to us in songs through his Anointing .. he is Always, so close.. within and amongst God's people. Jesus is on his way soon, my good and faithful friend.. and he will dry every tear... Keep on walking your very purposeful life out.. 🤗 keep on smiling.. 😊🤗🤗 ...I wait with you ...💕🙏🏼❤️
I was crying in my room, with scars and bruises, and He heard my cry to Him, I got healed, I have a stable job and a healthy pregnant wife! And we're expecting a boy, and it's all because of Him. Praise the good ol' God
I know the pain. Press into the Lord, sweetheart. I'm sending prayers for peace within your heart to know that the Lord is with you now. Know that he is your best friend. Cry to him, talk to him. It's sad to lose the ones we love and love those who love us. He's got you. Love you sister.
So sorry for your pain. God got you. He loves you Cry out to Him. He will give you His strength to go on. He is your great Comforter. Evil took your love ones but God is good to those
I know how that is....the same here...3 people including my mom in 1 year...so I'm giving you a hug,wherever you are...stay strong!🙏...His Love never fails on us!
The enemy is fighting so hard bcos you're on the verge of a breakthrough. Stand firm. Trust GOD'S word. Don't waver.Don't distracted. GOD has already worked things out for you. The devil is defeated no matter what it looks like. Be strong. Speak the word of GOD. Great things are coming your way!🕊🕊🕊
Wow ! Love this song ! It reminds me of the many times I've cried from a broken heart . . And God Has Never Left Me Alone ! Thank You My Heavenly Father !
it's ok friend. we can't it's true. sometimes he takes us to the end of ourselves to show us where we end and he begins. it's happened to me so much. but I yield to him and he literally takes over. love you friend. may his grace be sufficient in your life.
I hope you know Brandon Lake how very much you are doing for the kingdom. God has you right where you are supposed to be and I love it!!! Thank you Jesus for Brandon Lake and his music❤
You can turn this cave into a Holy Place. This is so, so true. Every rock bottom is Heavens invitation to come up higher, draw closer, push in, or go deeper. Love love love God Almighty.
I’ve been battling depression and grief and an inability to get out of bed most days and so just tired. My family needs their mommy happy. I’m waiting on my breakthrough. This song spoke to my heart as I cry on my pillow. I want the Joy of my salvation back so badly.
Hey hope U r feeling better, depression sucks but sounds like it may be grief, it's ok to not be ok, this time in your life will pass, I have been there many times with that horrendous fatigue, rest, Jesus is in it all and he's there even when it doesn't feel like it, praying for you. You will have joy again. Hug from me & biggest long hug from God above.
I've been where you are and I encourage you to speak to a therapist or pastor. Depression is a struggle, but don't isolate yourself. It makes things so much worse. There's people who love you. Reach out and I know the thought of doing that can seem so difficult, but on my experience the people who love you want to be there for you. 🙏🏼
I just read this from 8 months ago. I hope and pray you are doing better. The Father allows for His healing to come through others, whether Pastoral counseling, therapist, even Psychiatrist and medications if all else doesn't alleviate the sadness. Yes, there's prayer, study and especially fellowship, but exercise, sunshine, nutrition, even supplements can help. Never give up. Love is right there for you. Denying oneself to love others, to help others in the Father's name can help as much or more so than other forms of therapy. When we look to help others, our grief can fade away. Again, I hope and pray you are doing well. 😊
YOUR THE END OF ALL ANXIETY, THE SAFEST PLACE FOR SUFFERING, REMIND ME ONCE AGAIN THAT YOUR ENOUGH, SPEAK INTO THESE EMPTY LIES, REMIND ME ONCE AGAIN THAT YOUR ENOUGH!!!! I use to be a worship leader, been going through very VERY rough times right now, So help me GOD!!
Wow! I thank God for these songs! Such a real representation of what we go through as Christians. But every time we go through it, it serves as a reminder that God is closer than we know & that we are not alone. Though it may feel like it at times. God still remains faithful!
My wife and I are separated and currently going through a divorce. I hate this so bad because I absolutely love her so much. I don't want this and I am responsible for violating boundaries, not putting enough trust in her. Not being able to communicate effectively and many other things. I have cried out to God and her for one more chance. And counseling but I feel like right now she is far from God because her mother also just passed away not to long ago. I tried so hard to be supportive during that time but I felt pushed away and like I didn't matter to her anymore. I need lots of prayers that she would return to God and that she would open her heart to giving us one last chance to get things right. I miss her and her birthday is in just a few days and right now it's complicated but we can't even talk. So I pray for patients and the holy Spirit to change hearts and minds and God brought us together for a reason.may Satan be torn apart for trying to break us apart.
Praying. This is not the end of your story. Just remember, God is in the business of miracles. Blessings on you and your wife and that she would come back to God and be reconciled with you. Also that you would know what to do for her bday and that it would be the right decision
I love their voices together, so beautiful! What a great song! Brandon you truly have a gift to praise the lord with your voice and songs! Thank you brother!
It’s so close. So so so so close. 😭😭🙌🏻🙌🏻Closer than it’s ever been. I’m not letting go of the hem of your robe Abba… I trust you. I believe, help my unbelief!
Just attended the kingdom tour...heard Brandon sing live...this guy has an amazing voice what a talent...lion..fear is not future..so many great songs he's on...talking to Jesus...I enjoy his music
I’ve never heard music like this. I have tried listening to other Christian music and it’s good I like it, but Brandon lake is different. The lyrics and soul in his voice are what I feel when I pray to Jesus. What an incredible talent blessed to have him as an outlet to feel so so close with Christ. Much love brotha
When my mama was in the midst of struggles and anxiety she always wanted to hear the song He will make a way, knowing and having faith in her heart that God has a plans for her life, because she hold on to God's promises, because God is a promise keeper god, He is faithful
I cannot even tell you how many times I’ve listen to this song already. 🤩I’ve shared it with so many in messenger and on Facebook. 🙏🏻Your voices are better than any duo I’ve heard. ❤️The words and the music are illuminating. My next message is going to be on heaven being so close. ✝️🙏🏻❤️Thank you so very very much. God bless you both ❤️🙏🏻✝️
Just recently studied the passage in 1 Kings 19 in BSF when God come to Elijah at Mount Horeb. I have been having a lot of bad dreams. So many, in fact, that I often pray as I am falling asleep that God would be the God of my dreams. The other night after such a dream as I was waking up feeling fear and abandonment, a gentle whisper came “When I am afraid, I will trust in Him. I knew it was the Holy Spirit and peace flooded me and I went back to sleep peacefully until the morning. But He is the God of more…driving in my car a few days later listening to Pandora a song I liked was playing and I reached for my phone to hit replay. I was a little late and the intro to a new song started. I thought “okay God, it would be just like you to have something even better…so what do you have?” It was at that moment God used the lyrics to So Close to blow me away. It was exactly what my heart needed. I really hope someone can share this testimony to Brandon that he might be encouraged how God used his music in my life. I’m sure He is using it to impact a lost world for His glory.
I can't even begin to tell you how this song hit so, so close. When you hear words that you have thought and experienced expressed in a way that you can't put into words, whoosh 🌊 There He is, closer than ever. Never late and certainly never early. But spot on time! Hallelujah, Judah is rising!
The Lord knows what I can handle. And I when I can’t handle it, He carries me through it. When I can handle it, I walk through it with Him strengthening me and holding my hand the entire time. I love You, Jesus, and Thank You. Amen.
Beau duo Brandon et Amanda. Très jolie chanson. Belle mélodie. Bonnes paroles. Le paradis, l'amour, son expression, son partage dans un cadre de bonnes valeurs. Hosanna 🕊️
I was born in a christian home. I grew up thinking my parents were forcing christianity on me. Until I had a personal encounter when I left home for tertiary. I always thank God for not giving up on me.
Wow! Ya did it Again Brandon Lake and Amanda Cooke! What a beautiful & Powerful song (music video). This one resonates in my heart and my Soul! Can you feel it? Blessings to you Brandon Lake and Amanda Cooke, and to your families!
The great winds blew And the rocks tore loose But I couldn't find You anywhere And the earthquake came And the fire raged But I couldn't find You anywhere Then with a whisper, You came Gently reminding me To never be afraid Heaven's closer than it's ever been I can feel You so close, so, so close When it feels like my world's caving in Oh, God, I need You so close, so, so close You can turn this cave to a holy place You won't let a tear here hit the ground You're the God who stays 'Til the morning breaks And all of my fears come crashing down (ohh) Heaven's closer than it's ever been I can feel You so close, so, so close My ever-present, never-failing friend I can feel You so close, so, so close You're the end of all anxiety The safest place for the suffering Remind me once again that You're enough Speak into these empty lives Revert my heart, renew my mind Remind me once again that I'm enough And I won't waste another breath On fear of man or fear of death Even when I second guess Your love Heaven's closer than it's ever been I can feel You so close, so, so close I fall into Your loving arms again I can feel You so close, so, so close Heaven's closer than it's ever been I can feel You so close, so, so close My ever-present, never-failing friend I can feel You so close, so, so close So close, so, so close Every time I call You come You come running, running Every time I call You come So, so close Every time I call You come You come running, running Every time I call You come So, so close Every time I call You come You come running, running Every time I call You come So, so close Every time I call You come You come running, running Every time I call You come So, so close
This song came to me at a perfect time. Got hurt by the ones closest to me and this song just ministered to me. For real we can only love and forgive through Jesus and no one else
This is such a great duet. Amanda Cook has such an incredible voice too! Good choice Brandon! What a blessing this song is this morning as we celebrate The Pentecost. Thank you Jesus for the gift of The Holy Spirit that helps us feel your embrace! We can feel you so close Dear Lord. Beautiful song. 🙏❤️🙌
You go Brandon want to encourage you to stay on the straight and narrow. You are truly anointed by the Holy Spirit. Your music and songs bring the Holy Spirit right into my heart and soul. He is here and I start bawling like a baby because the Holy Spirit is here. Thank you for answering your calling and obeying Jesus to share your songs and talents with us.
The most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. Brings me to tears often. Speaks directly to my soul and the connection I feel with our God and our savior in Jesus Christ. Bless you all ❤️
Such a beautiful song. I've been in the deepest darkest holes many times and God is always right there with me and this song reminds me how much God does for me, how much Jesus loves me and that I'm never alone and he's holding my hand even when I feel so low. God bless everyone 🙏
I don't know how I have never heard this song before, but every time I hear a song by brother Brandon Lake, I feel as if my body and the whole room gets filled with the Holy Spirit! Their voices compliment and harmonize one another so beautifully! I'm adding this to my playlist!🕊🙌❤
When you sit and focus on the lyrics not just the sound it is sooo much better !! & so true !! I love you Jesus ❤ you are the best thing out of all things
It's unbelievable what this love of Jesus christ our Savior is doing to me I can't wait to see him and we all sing together for him hallelujah To our king almighty
Brandon your such an incredible talent in the Lord! I find you singing everywhere with all different people, such a singing beautiful gift! I see people from across the WORLD asking for you to visit them, I feel so strongly their longing for a great anointing like yours that I pray God will send you to the far reaches such as Europe and Africa!!
I praise God for your life Brandon, in a very dark moment of my life this praise came as a light, a new flame of the Lord Jesus over life, may many lives be achieved
I had a very important vision. It had a very important message. In the vision, it’s about the two opposing forces at work in our lives each day. In this vision/ I am asleep and this dark force lifts up the blanket and tries to take it from me. I would say in the Name of Jesus I command you to leave and it would stop. This figure was invisible but it was a dark force, and it tried so hard to take that blanket from me. Then as I was calling on the Name of Jesus, I could see from Above and this hand from above reached down, and I knew that was God The Father coming to my Help because I could feel such a love and such peace and mercy and I could see That He was there to help, so with my left hand I reach out and take hold of His Hand and I am back to my physical state. The dark force represents the enemy satan and his demons that try to take control of our lives by giving our flesh temptations and desires to sin and to bring us spirits of loneliness , pain, heartache, depression, unforgiveness, idolatry, covetousness, regret, gives us physical sickness, past sins to tempt us over and over again. All these are evil spirits that bring these things on us. The Word of God says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against dark forces of this world spiritually. The blanket represents our lives both spiritually and physically, both our physical state and our soul. We must chose who we will serve each day every second of every day. In order to Have victory, we must live like soldiers not civilians spiritually because everyday it’s a spiritual battle. We are Only Victorious through Jesus, reading His Holy Word, and engraving it deep in our heart so that when these attacks come, we can respond to the enemy and he and his demons and dark spirits of infirmities, sickness, sin and temptation have to leave. There are days we will have to fight harder, because the enemy will continue to throw everything he has at us, but that is why We must be strong in Jesus Christ our Lord and Fight to the end like soldiers. James 4:7 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. We have to do this everyday and we can’t let our guard down.
Yea wow, I think the impact of this song is far under realized.. this speaks into the deepest part of the soul in the deepest places calling even the most downcast out of despair into a rooted hope. Match that with the combination of Amanda’s voice and healing anointing and Brandon’s voice/announcing, plus a beautiful story told reflecting the story of Elijah… just wow, a stunning masterpiece that’s been bringing me hope and life for 9 months now. May the prophets of God arise from their caves, and may the voice of the accuser be silenced 👏🏻
I don't know much English🙏🏼 I had to wait for you to post the videos on UA-cam to be able to enjoy these new songs🎶, because just hearing it I couldn't interpret the message well🥺. They have been a blessing to me🙌🏼. I bless you from Cuba🇨🇺💚
I’m trying to get through my day with this terrible headache and general yuck feeling. I had a twinge of bitterness rise up and I thought Jesus doesn’t care about me. If he did he’d heal me like I asked him to. It seems like there’s a fine line between trusting Jesus and not trusting, but blaming. Then something in this lovely song hit me and I remembered through the pain that Jesus does not want me to suffer, he never made anyone sick, he only healed! And I came through to the other side of my aches and regained perspective as I thought of him on the cross. I might have to listen to this on repeat 🙌🏼
I just woke up at 3am needing to hear this song to be reminded that no entity, person or spirit would want to get as close to me than God, Christ my redeemer ❤️
It's 3 am and I can definitely relate.
Wow, I stopped singing a while back when my brother died, my Mom, my Dad, it was all so overwhelming. This breathes life into my spirit
Sending you lots of love. Always remember...You are the one He longs for✝️❤
I'm so sorry for the loss you have suffered .. 🙏🏼 I pray your strength in the Lord, the lifter of our heads.. the One True King of our hearts. I pray you experience more than ever before, and more and more each new day, the very tangible presence of God and how he truly Loves you and how he truly is aware of you and your thoughts and feelings concerning Him.. ..know that each and every concern you have, our Father God is aware of them all.... no thing goes unnoticed by him and nothing is too small or big.. I pray you see.. that he responds to you throughout each moment, of every day, and that he's walking right beside you always.. always hearing, even the words you cannot speak.. he hears your hearts cry and he will never forget. He is holding you in the palm of his Mighty hand.. and You Matter.. So. Very. Much. to Him. The songs within you matter, Rae..
Your precious life song matters.. Very much to him. God will still get the Glory... Your time here is not finished. ❤️
Holy Spirit is singing messages to us in songs through his Anointing .. he is Always, so close.. within and amongst God's people. Jesus is on his way soon, my good and faithful friend.. and he will dry every tear... Keep on walking your very purposeful life out.. 🤗 keep on smiling.. 😊🤗🤗 ...I wait with you ...💕🙏🏼❤️

Please pray for me. 3 close family members have died in the past 2.5 years. I need Gods comfort and healing
I know the pain. Press into the Lord, sweetheart. I'm sending prayers for peace within your heart to know that the Lord is with you now. Know that he is your best friend. Cry to him, talk to him. It's sad to lose the ones we love and love those who love us. He's got you. Love you sister.
So sorry for your pain. God got you. He loves you
Cry out to Him. He will give you His strength to go on. He is your great Comforter. Evil took your love ones but God is good to those

May our loving Lord sit with u till all your tears are gone . Huge huge hug ❤️

The enemy is fighting so hard bcos you're on the verge of a breakthrough. Stand firm. Trust GOD'S word. Don't waver.Don't distracted. GOD has already worked things out for you. The devil is defeated no matter what it looks like. Be strong. Speak the word of GOD. Great things are coming your way!🕊🕊🕊

Thank You My Heavenly Father !

I hope you know Brandon Lake how very much you are doing for the kingdom. God has you right where you are supposed to be and I love it!!! Thank you Jesus for Brandon Lake and his music❤
Surely this song makes you feel the closeness of the Lord this is realm I wanna stay in...
You can turn this cave into a Holy Place. This is so, so true. Every rock bottom is Heavens invitation to come up higher, draw closer, push in, or go deeper. Love love love God Almighty.
I’ve been battling depression and grief and an inability to get out of bed most days and so just tired. My family needs their mommy happy. I’m waiting on my breakthrough. This song spoke to my heart as I cry on my pillow. I want the Joy of my salvation back so badly.

Been on repeat all day! Amazing song!! Made me think of Elijah in his darkest time and the hope that was restored by God's still small voice.
There's no greater joy than being in an intimate relationship with God!...
YOUR THE END OF ALL ANXIETY, THE SAFEST PLACE FOR SUFFERING, REMIND ME ONCE AGAIN THAT YOUR ENOUGH, SPEAK INTO THESE EMPTY LIES, REMIND ME ONCE AGAIN THAT YOUR ENOUGH!!!! I use to be a worship leader, been going through very VERY rough times right now, So help me GOD!!
I’m going thru a very rough time too. Peace be with you. Strength in faith. Keep enduring for our God will NEVER abandon us! In Jesus name amen 🙏🏻
This is my Soul Cry. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.♡
Lord comforts all who are in distress at this moment, distressed with their downcast soul, in the name of Jesus I ask you Lord🙌 🙏
My husband went home to be with The Lord in 2019. My Lord brought me through it. He's never left me.
Wow! I thank God for these songs! Such a real representation of what we go through as Christians. But every time we go through it, it serves as a reminder that God is closer than we know & that we are not alone. Though it may feel like it at times. God still remains faithful!
So beautiful.. Brandon Lake and Amanda Cooke are always on my list of favorites, the vocals..and that special ANOINTING 🙏💗
With wholehearted gratitude all glory to GOD now and forever in Jesus mighty name. Amen🙏💯

The great winds blew
And the rocks tore loose
But I couldn't find You anywhere
And the earthquake came
And the fire raged
But I couldn't find You anywhere
Then with a whisper, You came
Gently reminding me
To never be afraid
Heaven's closer than it's ever been
I can feel You so close, so, so close
When it feels like my world's caving in
Oh, God, I need You so close, so, so close
You can turn this cave to a holy place
You won't let a tear here hit the ground
You're the God who stays
'Til the morning breaks
And all of my fears come crashing down (ohh)
Heaven's closer than it's ever been
I can feel You so close, so, so close
My ever-present, never-failing friend
I can feel You so close, so, so close
You're the end of all anxiety
The safest place for the suffering
Remind me once again that You're enough
Speak into these empty lives
Revert my heart, renew my mind
Remind me once again that I'm enough
And I won't waste another breath
On fear of man or fear of death
Even when I second guess Your love
Heaven's closer than it's ever been
I can feel You so close, so, so close
I fall into Your loving arms again
I can feel You so close, so, so close
Heaven's closer than it's ever been
I can feel You so close, so, so close
My ever-present, never-failing friend
I can feel You so close, so, so close
So close, so, so close
Every time I call You come
You come running, running
Every time I call You come
So, so close
Every time I call You come
You come running, running
Every time I call You come
So, so close
Every time I call You come
You come running, running
Every time I call You come
So, so close
Every time I call You come
You come running, running
Every time I call You come
So, so close
I'm all teary this is so beautuful
I believe dear brother b Lake you are an angel God almighty kept you here in earth to sing and bring people to our Lord jesus christ
This song came to me at a perfect time. Got hurt by the ones closest to me and this song just ministered to me. For real we can only love and forgive through Jesus and no one else
This is such a great duet. Amanda Cook has such an incredible voice too! Good choice Brandon! What a blessing this song is this morning as we celebrate The Pentecost. Thank you Jesus for the gift of The Holy Spirit that helps us feel your embrace! We can feel you so close Dear Lord. Beautiful song. 🙏❤️🙌
You go Brandon want to encourage you to stay on the straight and narrow. You are truly anointed by the Holy Spirit. Your music and songs bring the Holy Spirit right into my heart and soul. He is here and I start bawling like a baby because the Holy Spirit is here. Thank you for answering your calling and obeying Jesus to share your songs and talents with us.

Such a beautiful song. I've been in the deepest darkest holes many times and God is always right there with me and this song reminds me how much God does for me, how much Jesus loves me and that I'm never alone and he's holding my hand even when I feel so low. God bless everyone 🙏

I had a very important vision. It had a very important message. In the vision, it’s about the two opposing forces at work in our lives each day.
In this vision/ I am asleep and this dark force lifts up the blanket and tries to take it from me. I would say in the Name of Jesus I command you to leave and it would stop. This figure was invisible but it was a dark force, and it tried so hard to take that blanket from me. Then as I was calling on the Name of Jesus, I could see from Above and this hand from above reached down, and I knew that was God The Father coming to my Help because I could feel such a love and such peace and mercy and I could see That He was there to help, so with my left hand I reach out and take hold of His Hand and I am back to my physical state.
The dark force represents the enemy satan and his demons that try to take control of our lives by giving our flesh temptations and desires to sin and to bring us spirits of loneliness , pain, heartache, depression, unforgiveness, idolatry, covetousness, regret, gives us physical sickness, past sins to tempt us over and over again. All these are evil spirits that bring these things on us. The Word of God says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against dark forces of this world spiritually.
The blanket represents our lives both spiritually and physically, both our physical state and our soul. We must chose who we will serve each day every second of every day. In order to Have victory, we must live like soldiers not civilians spiritually because everyday it’s a spiritual battle. We are Only Victorious through Jesus, reading His Holy Word, and engraving it deep in our heart so that when these attacks come, we can respond to the enemy and he and his demons and dark spirits of infirmities, sickness, sin and temptation have to leave. There are days we will have to fight harder, because the enemy will continue to throw everything he has at us, but that is why We must be strong in Jesus Christ our Lord and Fight to the end like soldiers.
James 4:7
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
We have to do this everyday and we can’t let our guard down.
Thank you for making this amazing song. I am a non-Christian but always surprising by Christian worship songs.😭
Maybe it is feeding your soul for a reason, 🙏❤️ 😌
Brandon is my new Entertainer I just love this music
This song is an ABSOLUTE BLESSING to me!!!! Thank you!!!!!Lots of love from Cuba!!!
Praise God brother, best thing I’ve heard today for sure 🥲🙏🏻
Amen amen amen
So happy for this lyric video...up next is the actual video with Brandon and Amanda ! yes lord !
My ever present never failing Freind! 😭💙👍
Affirmation of God's love set in beautiful voices 🙏♥️
This is exactly what I've been feeling but not able to express into words. Thank you
Yea wow, I think the impact of this song is far under realized.. this speaks into the deepest part of the soul in the deepest places calling even the most downcast out of despair into a rooted hope. Match that with the combination of Amanda’s voice and healing anointing and Brandon’s voice/announcing, plus a beautiful story told reflecting the story of Elijah… just wow, a stunning masterpiece that’s been bringing me hope and life for 9 months now. May the prophets of God arise from their caves, and may the voice of the accuser be silenced 👏🏻
What a lovely blend and great song. Blessings.
SO CLOSE JESUS 🧎🏾♀️🧎🏾♀️🧎🏾♀️
This is such an amazing song makes me teary eyed!
Beautiful and so needed! Thank you!
I want an acoustic version!
I have been holding my tears then I hear this. God, a breath of your air.
I don't know much English🙏🏼 I had to wait for you to post the videos on UA-cam to be able to enjoy these new songs🎶, because just hearing it I couldn't interpret the message well🥺. They have been a blessing to me🙌🏼. I bless you from Cuba🇨🇺💚
Wonderful. Beautiful peaceful song❤️👍🙏
Amanda Cook is so wonderful
man oh man what a great song "Let my people go" for the season we live in.
Wow, My husband and I really needed this. So anointed!
Thank you JESUS, 4 Your presence, perfect love, everything! Thanks Brandon, Amanda, 4 this amazing worship, GOD bless you!
Just wow wow!
The angels are celebrating over Brandon thank you Jesus
I’m trying to get through my day with this terrible headache and general yuck feeling. I had a twinge of bitterness rise up and I thought Jesus doesn’t care about me. If he did he’d heal me like I asked him to. It seems like there’s a fine line between trusting Jesus and not trusting, but blaming. Then something in this lovely song hit me and I remembered through the pain that Jesus does not want me to suffer, he never made anyone sick, he only healed! And I came through to the other side of my aches and regained perspective as I thought of him on the cross. I might have to listen to this on repeat 🙌🏼
