“Abe & Liza Philip are writing congregational worship songs and hymns that are biblically thoughtful, gospel-rich, and accessible – a rare combination in any era! I’d love to see more churches benefit from their songs and their passion for God’s glory in Jesus Christ.”
Welcome! We're so glad you're here.
We are passionate about writing songs and hymns of worship to God that are deeply rooted in Scripture. The words breathed out by God feed our hungry souls with real, soul-satisfying food that we can bank our lives on.
Sometimes in all the details and epic narrative of Scripture, we miss the forest for the trees: we are loved by a holy God and need to know it deep in our bones. It's His affection (not our great effort) that leads us to repentance and living each day we're given with gratitude and for His glory.
Jesus' disciple John referred to himself over and over (John 13,19,20,21) in the Gospel of John as “the one whom Jesus loves.” This is the new identity of every believer in Christ. God's love is not based on any good He finds in us, but simply in His free and indescribable kindness that we see most clearly in the Cross.
Our desire is not that you hear our frail human thoughts but that we would be God's servants who set some of His precious words to music. Some of these songs are direct Scripture passages and others are essentially musical cross reference studies that seek to artfully weave together verses on themes like the Trinity, Creation, the Incarnation, the Holy Spirit, the Cross, Hell and Heaven.
We hope these songs inspire you to dive deeper into Scripture for yourself and that you are always refreshed in the good news of God's undeserved kindness to us in Jesus Christ.
You are the one whom Jesus loves,
Abe & Liza
