Paul Baloche's Glorious

Two-time Dove Award winning Paul Baloche is one of today’s most influential worship leaders and songwriters. Glorious, his eighth collection of new worship songs, releases November 3 on Integrity Music and features co-writes with Michael W Smith, Brenton Brown, Meredith Andrews, Jason Ingram, Ben Gowell and Rita Baloche.

In addition to the CD, worship resources for Glorious include a print and digital songbook, CD trax and more.

Having served as the Worship Pastor at Community Christian Fellowship in Lindale, TX for 20 consecutive years, Baloche is regarded as one of the preeminent worship writers of the contemporary church.

He has written some of this generation’s most compelling worship songs, including “Open The Eyes of My Heart”, “Hosanna”, “Your Name”, “Above All”, “Offering”, “All The Earth Will Sing Your Praises”, “Our God Saves” and “Because of Your Love”.

With several No 1 radio hits and 19 CCLI current Top 500 songs to his credit, his songs are sung by millions of people each week in churches around the world.

But the success and accolades are not what drive this faithful songwriter.

“I don’t want to rely on clichés or crank out Christian jingles,” says Baloche. “I’ve tried to wipe the etch-a-sketch clean for this record and force myself to go deeper in this season of my life, wrestling with the words and music that will help congregations connect with God to help strengthen their relationships, families, and communities.

"For better or worse, the songs we are singing in our services are going down deep into the core of our hearts and forming our theology. For this reason, I want every song on this record to matter, to be biblical, have relevance and carry spiritual weight.”
