Paul Baloche


Paul Baloche
Glorious
Integrity Music

Praise and worship and Paul Baloche have become synonymous to one another.  He has become one of the premiere Christian writers and performers of today's top Christian praise and worship CDs.  Most known for writing some of the greatest and most memorable praise songs such as "Above All", "Open The Eyes of My Heart" and "All the Earth Will Sing Your Praises".  Baloche has returned with 11 new songs performed live at his "home church" Community Christian Fellowship in Lyndale, TX for his latest CD "Glorious". 

"Glorious" opens with the title track which was co-written with Benton Brown and is a song intended to "point people beyond the cross, pushing them to look further into the mystery of the gospel."  My personal favorite is "Wonderful God" that Paul wrote with his wife Rita which is a straight forward praise song that reminds the listener of how wonderful God is.  The CD closes with the Dove Award winning song "A New Hallalujah" and is guaranteed to become a Sunday morning favorite for praise and worship leaders around the globe.

There is nothing ground breaking about "Glorious" (which is not a slam or anything) as it fits nicely into the Paul Baloche discography.  His latest CD will continue to push him to the forefront of modern praise and worship leaders and certainly be a great soundtrack to draw one into the presence of God.  Basically if you are a fan of Paul Baloche or even a lover of modern praise and worship then I would HIGHLY recommend "Glorious".
