Worship Music's Gender Gap Persists Despite Inclusive Writing Rooms
TN, NASHIIVILLE. “I’ve Seen Metal Plates Dissolve” Brandon Lake Shares The Miraculous Story Behind ‘Too Good To Not Believe.’ Worship leader and songwriter Brandon Lake has opened up about a jaw-dropping moment that became the heartbeat behind one of his most loved and celebrated worship songs, Too Good To Not Believe. The song’s now-famous lyric—“I’ve seen metal plates dissolve. I’ve seen cancer disappear. Don’t you tell me He cannot do it”—isn’t just a bold declaration of faith, it’s rooted in real-life miracles.

Lake recalled a powerful night during one of his worship sets when a woman’s desperate prayer was answered in a way that left the entire room shaken.
“We had a lady one night, in the middle of my set, we started praying for people and someone just started bawling their eyes out uncontrollably, like screaming,” Lake said. Curious, he stepped back and watched as his friend approached the woman, who was now at the altar, weeping.

The woman, overwhelmed by emotion, revealed that she had been in a traumatic accident 20 years earlier. As a result, her legs were fitted with metal rods, which left her unable to bend them for two decades.
“She told us that her greatest prayer since then was that she would one day be able to kneel in the presence of God and worship on her knees,” Lake shared.
That night, that prayer was answered.
“We were shaken. She bent her legs—metal rods in them—and just knelt there, bawling her eyes out in worship,” he said. “That moment changed us.”
It was miracles like this that inspired the bold declarations in Too Good To Not Believe—a song rooted in stories of transformation, healing, and hope.
“I’ve seen families reunited, I’ve seen mental health restored, I’ve seen addicts finally free,” Lake added. “Every line in that song has a name. These are real testimonies. This is my personal journey of what I’ve witnessed.”
