'Doxology' by Life In Groveland: A Classic With a New Vibe


Doxology is an instumental track found on the album 'The Hymnal' by Life In Grooveland. 

Life In Grooveland - DoxologyThis is a modern rendition using various instruments, including an electric guitar, of the well known hymn Doxolgy. Listening to this track actually gave me a bit of a chuckle as I was trying to picture the congregation of our church singing the traditional lyrics along with this track… as in the lyrics from 1674, together with this instrumental track. There is one church community that we occasionally visit that would have fun with such a challenge! 😂

You can try these lyrics as you listen…

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

We asked the artist behind this rendition of the song to share what triggered him to release this. Here is the reply we received: 

'It was my desire to take my love of classic hymns and reimagine them as exciting new musical works driven by drums and percussion. Each track on the album features a different instrumentalist with Doxology featuring electric guitar played by Dave Coleman. My goal was to show the listener how a melody which has been around for centuries can be reborn and capture our imagination.'

We trust that you will also enjoy the listen.

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
