A Greater Song was recorded at Community Christian Fellowship in Lindale, Texas, where Paul has served as worship pastor for more than 15 years. “I wanted to capture the sound of my church,” he says. “They just sing loud and I’ve always wanted to capture what happens at our church on Sunday mornings. I’ve always recorded at other places around here, but I’ve never actually captured our people on Sunday morning. So often these songs are birthed in the midst of those Sunday mornings, a sermon or somebody’s prayer. So it’s fun to be able to actually finish what takes place in our church there at our church. The songs are test-driven. Many times I’ll try them there. It’s a spiritual laboratory where I can try out new songs and I get a sense immediately if it’s something that is really congregational.”

Though many of Paul’s songs have been written solo, A Greater Song finds the gifted writer collaborating with other noted songwriter/worship leaders, among them Matt Redman, Graham Kendrick, Brenton Brown and Sara Groves. “Graham Kendrick invited me to a songwriters retreat for a couple of days,” recalls Paul of the spark that led to many of the songs on the new album. “It was really inspiring to me to hang with some of these guys and to spend some time co-writing with Graham and Matt Redman for a couple of days. It inspired my own soul and my own heart and that’s what I needed as we were approaching the new album. A lot of these guys are friends I’ve known for a long time. I think if there’s a theme on this record, maybe the theme is friendship and collaboration for the Kingdom of God.”
