Introduction to David Wallace Crowder
This popular Christian contemporary artist known simply as Crowder grew up listening to Elvis, Willie Nelson, Olivia Newton John, and Bill Gaither. Now that’s diversity!!! David was a student at Baylor University when his musical career began. With Baylor being a Christian university, David was surprised to find out that many of the students didn’t attend church. So he and friend Chris Seay started University Baptist Church to make church something the 20-something students would come to, enjoy, and relate.
David had a career with the David Crowder Band for several years and is now into solo projects. He has a rather new, popular single, Good God, Almighty. It is a catchy worship piece that celebrates the goodness of God, an anthem that is meant to be sung by congregations collectively. Good God, Almighty is an upbeat song about celebrating the mercy of God and our opportunity to praise Him! As David says, “this song is just some good old-fashioned group singing! And what I love about that is it is a group of people singing in harmony together. That’s what we need and what I’m praying for, some harmony and togetherness.”
Here are some of the opening lyrics to Good God, Almighty:
I can’t count the times I’ve called Your name some broken night
And You showed up and patched me up like You do every time.
I get amnesia
I forget that You keep coming around
Yeah, ain’t no way You’ll ever let me down
Good God Almighty
I hope You’ll find me
Praising Your name no matter what comes
‘Cause I know where I’d be
Without Your mercy
So I keep praising Your name at the top of my lungs
I would encourage you to listen to this delightful song! Good God, Almighty by Crowder can be found on YouTube, or any other streaming music service right now.
