'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. 

This 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.
