Country Singer: Satan Tried to Keep Me From Writing This Song
Country singer Mallary Hope has faced many moments of opposition, but on the “C-Pop” podcast, she recalls one particular moment of spiritual warfare against her music.
Hope gets vulnerable in her new album, Out of My Hands. And she tells “C-Pop” host Jessilyn Lancaster that Satan did everything he could to keep her from writing the song “Walking With the Light.”
The opposition began while on her way to her co-writer’s house. She had been writing the chorus to “Walking With the Light” while driving and was excited to work on it with her colleague.
“I was running a little bit late that day,” she says. “And I got to my co-writer’s house—and he lives on a hill. So I parked my jeep up on the hill, not realizing that it was on E, almost out of gas. All the sudden, my jeep started shaking and then died. … And it just felt that Satan was doing everything he could that day to keep me from getting to my co-writer’s house.”
When Hope finally arrived at her destination, she and her co-writer were able to quickly finish the song.
“I can see how Satan was trying to keep that song from being written,” she says.
Listen to the podcast to hear how God is using Hope and her music to inspire and empower the brokenhearted.
