Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke was undoubtedly a man used mightily by God. He was a gifted preacher, teacher, writer, leader… and, as it turns out, songwriter. It’s true! Toward the end of his life, God stirred up songs in Bonnke’s heart. Because he wasn’t a trained musician, he partnered with renowned, Nashville-based songwriter and musical arranger, Don Poythress. Together, they brought the Spirit-inspired songs from his heart into the world. Now, on the 19th of April, 2020 (which would have been Bonnke’s 80th birthday), his first ever single will be available for purchase and stream across all major platforms.
The song, entitled “The Glorious Gospel,” opens with Bonnke’s distinctive voice preaching truth to a crowd of multiple tens of thousands. Then, Justin Morgan lends his vocal talents to carry Bonnke’s impassioned lyrics:
What God’s done for us is infinite
The cross, weaving so intricate
The beautiful garments of salvation
The costliest in all creation
The contemporary stylings of the band keep a steady, rousing pulse that builds to the song’s bridge – the lyrics of which hit with the force of a Reinhard Bonnke altar call:
It’s the Good News
Our sins are washed away
And we have been forgiven
You’ve risen from the grave
It is an unadulterated, life-giving celebration of the atoning work of Jesus and the power it gives believers to live out His salvation. Like its author, it boldly proclaims God’s greatness as revealed by “The Glorious Gospel.”
