“I will send out an army / To find you in the middle of darkest night / It’s true / I will rescue you.” In difficult, adverse times, sometimes, it seems like there is no way out.  🎙 Lauren Daigle provides the utmost encouragement on 🎵 “Rescue,” a highlight from her 2018 Christian album, 💿 Look Up Child.  The message that Daigle sends loud and clear, particularly in the chorus: “I, [God], will rescue you.” In other words, this song is from the perspective of God to his discouraged child. The 🏆 Grammy-winner penned “Rescue” alongside 🎼✍ 🎛 Paul Mabury and Jason Ingram who produce the lush track (shout out the strings 🎻).

In the verses, Daigle, again portraying God, lifts up the discouraged.  In the first, she sings, “You are not hidden / There’s never been a moment / You were forgotten.” Sometimes, it feels that way, whether you consider yourself to be a believer or not.  Why am I going through this? Will I ever advance past the hardship? Similarly, in the second verse, Lauren asserts, “I’ll be your shelter / I’ll be your armor.” The take away on this ballad, which ascends to great heights, is the power of faith and not giving in. Furthermore, when no one else will help you, God will. “I hear the whisper underneath your breath / I hear you whisper, you have nothing left.” 🎵 “Rescue” is incredibly potent and powerful 🙌.
