Glory be to God for all things!
Music is part of God's universe.
I was born in Alabama and my first live music experiences were in church. Every Sunday we watched regional gospel groups on television singing their hearts out.
I have been singing gospel music since I was four years old.
I grew up singing in church. I've been doing that since I was 3 years old. Singing was a blessing for me to do.
I started out in gospel music. A lot of people don't know that I started out in gospel music, and I've never lost sight of it.
The end of the creation is that the creation might glorify [God]. Now what is glorifying God, but a rejoicing at that glory he has displayed?
I grew up around a lot of church musicians.
So I will go as far as I can into rock and roll carrying my Christian banner.
All glory to God. I'm nothing.
The whole musical institution of the church involves a lot of different styles of communication at the same time. Things like call and response. Sometimes they use the music to pray and work things out. And there's so much repetition in gospel, it's like churning butter.
The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance.
I'm associated with gospel music in the minds of millions of people.
For me, when I grew up playing music, I played music in church and people were shouting and having a big time, and church wasn't something where it was subdued. If you played something, you brought it to church with you.
Even if I make a gospel album, my gospel songs are going to get you dancing and crunk.
God made man merely to hear some praise of what he'd done on those Five Days.
My music is not Christian - Lecrae is. And you hear evidence of my faith in my music.
Well, I've always said that country music has always shared a very unique relationship with gospel music - the hooting and hollering, you know, always in abundance.
God has given us all wonderful unique gifts and talents to use to glorify and celebrate Him.
I'm from the gospel world. I grew up playing in church.
Good hymns are an immense blessing to the Church. They train people for heaven, where praise is one of the principal occupations.
God uses singers in a mighty way, and I am grateful.
I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.
You're a song written by the hands of God.
The industry is starting to be more open to what we do. I just don't want us to be boxed in whatever people assume Christian rap should be. We're dudes who love hip hop, and we love Jesus, and that's going to be apparent in our music.
