Grace Worship, situated in Peoria, Illinois, draws on its 150-year church heritage (Grace Presbyterian Church) to offer a multi-generational focus to Christ Be All by combining theologically complex lyrics with soaring melodies. Grace Worship The Fuel Music’s debut EP, focusing on Jesus’ call in John 17 for the body to be “one,” will be released on April 24 and is available for preorder now. It preserves the rich legacy of Christian music hymnody while infusing modern anthemic choruses and pop melodies.
“Christ Be All,” the EP’s first single and title tune, is now available worldwide on digital and streaming platforms such as Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube Music, Google Music, Pandora, Deezer, and others.
This hymn, written and sung by worship director Kevin King and featuring words from Andrew Murray’s classic book Humility, is intended to help worshippers express, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Galatians 2:20), as they sing, “May Christ be all and I be nothing.”
“With ‘Christ Be All,’ we’re connecting with Andrew Murray’s historic and renowned lyrics as we attempt to have the worshiper comprehend via song that it’s to our joy to ‘become nothing,’ as Jesus did; to lose our lives so we might find them in Him,” King says.
While this is Grace Worship’s first recording to release nationally, Grace Presbyterian Church’s pastor and author, Dr. Bryan Chapell (www.bryanchapell.com), is very well known among churches that share Grace Worship’s liturgical style of worship. He is President Emeritus of Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO, wrote the books Christ-Centered Preaching and Christ-Centered Worship widely read by both preachers and worship leaders, serves on the faculties of numerous seminaries and Bible colleges in different parts of the world, and conducts pastors’ conferences in several nations each year. He also is founder and host of Unlimited Grace, a daily half-hour Bible teaching program that has been heard on radio stations across the United States and in more than 80 countries around the world.
