Father Me

Father Me by Paul Oakley was published by Kingsway in August 2006 and is our 6197th best seller. The ISBN for Father Me is KMCD2728.

Paul Oakley has over the past 12 years furnished the worshiping church with many songs... Jesus Lover of My Soul, Who is There Like You?, Be Lifted up, Because of You....the list is endless. ‘Father Me’ is without doubt Paul’s strongest collection of songs for a season. Ever Faithful God, Breathtaking, Take My Life, No Other God, Astounded By The Mystery, Beautiful and the title track Father Me....all set high standards both lyrically and musically. Recorded in Nashville with 2 time Dove award winning producer John Hartley and a host of Nashville’s finest session players....this is the definitive Paul Oakley.


Packed full with eleven vibrant worship songs, “Father Me” is the new studio recording from Paul Oakley.

Songs like opening track “Beautiful”, “No other God”, “Astounded by the mystery” and the outstanding arrangement of F. R Havergal’s “Take my life and let it be” ooze with the pop sensibilities offered by Coldplay, Keane and Muse. “Breathtaking” is just that, with Paul delivering a vocal reminiscent of Elvis Costello, while Paul Weller’s influence is most evident on song of praise “Shout from the roof”. With its lush string arrangement “Father me” is the studio recording of an already established event favourite and alongside the country ballad “Ever faithful God” represents the most universally accessible worship song.

The acoustic “I am not ashamed” has a strong Beatles/Lennon feel while the moody “Breathe on me” and redemption hymn “This is for me” draw the album to a close.

“Father Me” from Paul Oakley on the Kingsway Music label is another excellent slice of pop drenched worship from one of Britain’s most popular worship leaders.
