J. Brian Craig has become a go-to songsmith when you want catchy-yet-deep, meaningful songs for Christians to sing. His popular published songs, “Be with Me, Lord,” “I Need Your Love,” and “Great Among the Nations” are being sung in churches literally all over the world. His newer songs, “Home in Heaven”, “Lead Me to the Rock,” “Praise the Lord O My Soul”, “By Faith,” and “Spirit’s Fire” are becoming new favorites in many churches.
Born in Florida, growing up in Colorado, Brian played keyboards in bands starting in high school. As a college student, Brian moved to LA, picked up the guitar, and started writing songs for the church to sing. He currently works in the full-time ministry (peninsulaministry.com), and gets to lead the worship when the 5000 members of the LA Church of Christ get together.
Brian has stepped out of writing worship songs for his latest CD, remain in me, which contains songs from the perspective of Jesus to his followers. These are songs to sit and listen to –listen well, and meditate on the scriptural messages they deliver. Many are being encouraged by the songs…
I can't tell you how much I love this CD. I still can't get through some of the songs without crying or choking up over the lyrics. It is obvious that the lyrics were divinely inspired and it is helping me connect with Jesus again. - Paula
Excellent, deep, insightful lyrics with a great beat to inspire and motivate one to understand the Lord and His heart. Thank you, Brian, for using your talent in creating amazing music! - Tara C
I really connected to the music and lyrics in this CD. It put my thoughts in the right mindset and drew me closer to the heart of Jesus. It's a great CD to listen to when you want to reflect and meditate on Jesus' words. 2 thumbs up! - Aileen
It really moves the heart. It inspired and helped me to really love and worship God and to stay connected to Him. Songs like The Truth Will Set you Free, My Father's House, Remain In Me, We're A Family and Free From The Grave will truly encourage your soul, heart and mind whenever you get parched in any of these areas --it does for me, that's why I listen to it at least twice a week. - Chris
What I usually like about Christian or love songs is the opportunity to imagine Jesus singing the specific words to me. With this album I didn't have to; using words straight from the bible, and written from Jesus' point of view... listening to these songs was like listening to Jesus speaking to me. I loved it. - Tera
Love the lyrics! There've been times I just lay in bed, blast the music, close my eyes, and I can picture actually being there... feeling all that Jesus went through. I love how every song is written from Jesus' perspective... it makes it much more personal, and touches the depths of the soul. - Gina
Listening to the lyrics is a heartfelt experience. I've listened to it many times, have it burned into my computer at work! The entire CD is awesome but my favorite is "Free From the Grave". It really brings it on home and reminds us of what Jesus did for each and everyone of us. I need that reminder! Thank you so much! - Susan
Aven Romale: 'Come On Gipsies' - that's the name of our song at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, which takes place in Moscow. Come on board! Come on Gipsies!
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SAN DIEGO AND PUTTING AN AWESOME WORSHIP WORKSHOP. I APPRECIATE YOUR LAST-MINUTE TIME OF FELLOWSHIPPING AND ENCOURAGEMENT. ONE OF THESE DAYS, I WILL LEARN TO ACCEPT THAT GOD MADE MY SINGING VOICE JUST THE WAY HE MADE IT SPECIALLY FOR ME. =) THANKS BRO.
