The ways of God are mysterious. I was born and grew up in Lithuania. My path to the field of worship music began some decades ago - started as a choir member in a local worship music jazz-style project, and later I played acoustic guitar in the ensemble of this group. Around the same time, my wife and I released a CD of our own songs "Let's Enjoy" (https://renatapoce.bandcamp.com/). A few years later, when asked about further plans, I then replied that I only see the meaning of creativity (if any) in the music of God's praise. I said it spontaneously and didn’t think (because we don’t know, and the Lord knows). And here, some years later, someone in me pushed me to take up the books of the Psalms again and to convey the important messages set out in them in the style of rock music. And then from somewhere, from mysteries unknown to me, one after another, in a relatively short period of time, songs began to be born, and so the word became flesh. This whole Soli Deo Gloria project took about 2 years from the birth of the idea to the release of digital media (am on the way to vinyl publishing). If very briefly, for this project (S.D.G. - Soli Deo Gloria) I brought together local musicians I know to record in the studio and invited other musicians from other countries in the world who kindly responded positively and joined the project, and with the help of the Lord, we did so. And thus, by firmly saying "Yes" to God, we can contribute to the spread of God's word to listeners around the world. I took rock-style music (with which I grew up) as the best suited for this project, so I chose it as a means of expression. I hope that we, as a global team, and I personally, have succeeded. Thank God for that. Currently, S.D.G. project develops further and joined into cooperation with UK singer & songwriter Peter Simon Bailey to produce strong, positive, and faithful messages to the listener!
Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...
Jesus knows your pain before you speak it. Lauren Gruwell knows what it is when Jesus feels unreachable. Trauma in her childhood left her with deep sorrow, and for years Jesus seemed too far away. She didn’t think she was good enough to come near Him. Are you also familiar with that feeling? Do you sit in the dark, tears falling, and wonder: “… no one knows but if they did, would they care?” Lauren shares: “It wasn’t until He changed me, that I realized that HE has felt all the pain I’ve ever felt, and that He loves me regardless.” The Savior that she thought she couldn’t approach had already walked her road. This song, “Man of Sorrows”, grew from that discovery, and it carries a promise for anyone who hurts: “And all of my hurt, He felt it first…” . Jesus hurts right beside you. In Isaiah 53:3, we read that He was “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” Then comes the line that changes everything: “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” Our griefs. Our sorrow...
Darkness grips hard, but one name holds harder. Where do you turn when your strength runs out? Josef Tingbratt and Joakim Arenius wrote “No Other Name” for that moment. Their song follows a man who is “Restless weary and alone,” “So many miles from home.” Inner voices that treat him unkindly. Then a night raid brings brutal violence: “They tried to break his body down, but they could not break his crown.” Notice what he does when “darkness gets its grip.” He calls Jesus: “Jesus, Jesus hear my cry.” No fancy words, just a cry. The song grew where two struggles meet. Some believers face ridicule or violence for following Jesus. Others fight a quieter battle with loneliness and doubt. Both struggles need the same answer. Peter answered the rulers who questioned him in Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” He spoke with threats hanging over him. His confidence never rested on comfortable c...
