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.

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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Doug Horley's song 'Put Your Hands In The Sky' is a call to his listeners to let loose and have fun. The verses encourage listeners to get a bit funky, freaky, and wiggie wiggie, and ultimately go crazy. Horley urges listeners to raise their hands in the air and get ready to fly, jump left and right, and shout. The chorus is repeated four times to reinforce the message that listeners should let go of their worries and enjoy the moment.

However, in the midst of all the fun and revelry, Horley gives a nod to his conservative Christian faith. Towards the end of the song, Horley speaks of the king of all creation, whom he kneels before in respect. He speaks of his love for God, acknowledging him through prayer and asking to be filled with God's love.

Overall, the song encourages listeners to let their hair down and have some fun while reminding them to remain respectful and grounded in their faith.
