Songs Written By JonCarlos Velez
In this season of difficult circumstances, unjust situations, and overwhelming disappointments our hope is summed up in this song: God Will Prevail.
Resistance is not just struggle—it is also song. It is dancing in the ruins, laughing in the face of despair, and choosing joy as an act of defiance.
Anticipating a day when every valley is raised up and every mountain brought low and we stand side by side on a level playing field.
“A humble people engaging with the humble Christ” is summed up beautifully by the Christmas story. Therefore, our release of this song as a Christmas worship song.
“A whole Latin vibe, and a reminder that true joy can be found in all of the ups and downs of life.” (Gabriella Velez)
”We Will Rise (Lagrimas De Cielo) es una canción que hablas de el amor y la justicia de Dios que nos une para vencer.” (JonCarlos Velez)
