Editor's note

Paul Baloche writes songs for Sunday mornings

A worship leader whose straightforward melodies have filled churches for decades.

For a good sense of his style, try 'Angels From The Realms Of Glory'. It's all there, the clear melody, the direct language, the thing you can sing without thinking too hard about it.

When you hear 'Angels From The Realms Of Glory' or 'I will boast' in a church service, you're hearing Baloche's work. He writes songs that congregations can actually sing along to, without complex arrangements getting in the way. That practical approach has kept his music in rotation long after the service ends.

He started playing drums in church as a kid in Texas. By 1991, he was leading worship at Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago, which gave his songs a wider platform. Albums like 'Open the Eyes of My Heart' in 1997 and 'Your Name' in 2003 followed that same uncomplicated path.

Archive material and source history

Paul Baloche was born in Austin, Texas in 1962. He started playing drums in church when he was seven and later picked up the guitar. In 1991, he became the worship leader at Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago, which gave him a wider platform for his music.

His songs like 'Hosanna (Français)' and 'Behold Him' have been used in churches for years. He writes straightforward worship music that avoids complex arrangements, focusing instead on melodies that congregations can easily sing along to.

Baloche has released albums such as 'Open the Eyes of My Heart' in 1997 and 'Your Name' in 2003. He works with musicians like bassist Dave Anderson and drummer Ben Cissell, but his recordings keep the instrumentation simple to serve the songs.

In 2007, he faced some criticism for performing at a political event, which sparked debate about worship leaders and public engagements. He defended his choice by referencing the separation of church and state.
