“Songwriting is a big part of my spiritual life,” shares Baloche. “It helps me go deeper with God… helps me fix my mind on Jesus, to set my mind on things above. It keeps my heart fresh and alive, for myself, my family and the church.”

And the church has responded to this “worship pastor of worship pastors” whose songs have been featured on recordings by Matt Redman, Michael W. Smith, Casting Crowns and Phillips Craig & Dean to name but a few. Baloche is one of the contemporary church’s most acclaimed songwriters, penning standards such as “Hosanna (Praise is Rising),” “Our God Saves,” “Your Name,” “Glorious,” “Above All” and “Open the Eyes of My Heart.” In short, Baloche writes songs that the whole church sings.

“When I’m writing songs,” he explains, “I think, ‘Will this help the church worship God? Will this help people connect with Him?’. I realize that I’m putting words into the mouths of God’s people. I’m giving them a vocabulary to sing back to God. And when they sing those words, hopefully it will act as a catalyst in their hearts… because when we sing something, it goes down deep into our soul.”
