'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.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

'Spirit' by Alexander Reign: A Musical Prayer of Surrender

Alexander Reign's song 'Spirit' is a cry of the soul in trying times, seeking God's guidance and surrendering completely to Him, just as the psalmist cried out in Psalm 118:5. The lyrics capture the raw honesty of our struggles, and it is in this space that we admit that we cannot navigate life alone, but need Divine guidance. We often find ourselves at a crossroads, in a state of despair and confusion. We might identify with lyrics like 'It's hard to hide my flaws' . Reaching out to the Divine is an effective solution to these turbulent times, echoing the words, 'Spirit lead me / Cause you're all I want.' 'Spirit' is more than just a song; it's a testimony shared in the universal language of music, resonating with anyone seeking divine strength. Its verses encourage us to grow in faith and resilience by wearing God's armor in the face of life's challenges. We, too, are given the ability to shine His light within us, as the so...
