Doug has a national and international ministry working with children and song writing. In 1996 his song ""We Want To See Jesus Lifted High"" was chosen as the theme for the global March for Jesus event and was sung in 176 countries by some 25 million people. Doug has also worked with singer / song writer Noel Richards for over ten years and as well as playing lead guitar for him he has also co-written a number of songs with him that have featured on Noel's albums.
Doug has a vision to see Jesus lighting a flame in the hearts of children that will spread like wildfire. Doug's heart is to present the gospel in fun, lively ways and to challenge children to build their friendship with God and to realise how important they are to him. He uses action songs, puppets, tricks, juggling and all manner of other exciting visual methods to catch the children's imagination.
With his team he travels the UK widely putting on family praise parties, seminars and ""adult"" celebrations as well as running the 8-11's work at conferences including Spring Harvest which this year attracted up to 875 children per day!
He also runs his own annual "Duggies Summer Weeks" which this year was attended by over 1000 mainly unchurched children and young people aged 5-14 during two weeks in August. Doug strives for quality in all that he does and the summer weeks programme included Go karting, Lazer quest, wildlife encounters, the infamous ""gunge tank"", quad bikes, numerous bouncy activities and stacks more.
Doug wants children to thoroughly enjoy themselves at his events - but also to meet with God in powerful ways, and be equipped to be used by God to see amazing things happen.
Doug has also recorded several albums for "Kingsway Music" which feature fun action songs, anointed adult worship tracks and high energy dance tracks.
Let's Bring A Little Heaven To Earth
Doug Horley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
Yo, gimme somethin' to dance to
Let's bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Let's bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
Sometimes it's hard just to know where to start
We feel so small and insignificant
But being good news to folks that He met
Is where, where Jesus started
So let's listen to God, let's do what He says
Let us take each opportunity
To be the good news, not just talk the good news
And if we're givers and we're takers
We might turn this whole world round
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
Let's bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
Each one of us is a part in God's plan
Everyone can be significant
The key to it all is simply listening to God
And doing, doing what he tells us
Oh, come speak to us Lord
Oh, touch us we cry
Give us hearts full of compassion
Help us reach out in love and bring healing to this world
As we simply start to show a little love to those we know
It might bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
Let's bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
We can make, we can make, we can make
We can make a difference
We can make, we can make, we can make
A difference to this world
We can make, we can make, we can make
We can make a difference, yeah
We can make, we can make, we can make
A difference to this world
We can make, we can make, we can make
We can make a difference
We can make, we can make, we can make
A difference to this world
We can make, we can make, we can make
We can make a difference
As we simply start to show a little love to those we know
Let's bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
Let's bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
Oh, let's bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
Let's bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven
Bring a little heaven to earth
