Hi.
My name is Paul Alonzo. I was born in 1964 in my hometown of White Castle, Louisiana (about 30 minutes SW of Baton Rouge). When I was 7 years old, I started playing musical instruments and singing. By the time my teenage years rolled around I was playing in south Louisiana âbayou boogieâ style dance bands. I made the decision to start serving the Lord wholeheartedly on May 7, 1986, at age 21, and immediately found myself helping Church musicians to improve the sound of their worship bands. As I grew in the Lord, I began to realize that music in a Church service was more than achieving a good, solid sound from a âgellinâ, âjammingâ band. Itâs the celebration of an intimate, joyful relationship with the Lord. This worship CD, âAll Of The Gloryâ, is the culmination of twenty years of loving God and learning to trust Him day by day. Everyday with God is fresh and new !! ENJOY !!!

Just a few personal thoughts on the songs from âAll Of The Gloryâ :

Track 1 â The song âWell with my Soulâ is a celebration of having a deep peace in your heart that only Jesus can give, and being confidently excited about it. This song sports a âfunkâ beat with a commanding bass run, and a lead guitar solo thatâs going to make you grin.

Track 2 â The song â We Have a Reasonâ is a song with a driving â80âs style beatâ that explains why we are so joyful when we love God and sing to Him. The powerful notes coupled with âsuper controlledâ dynamics makes this song a blast to listen to.

Track 3- The song âYour Wordâ celebrates Jesus living in us and giving us strength to live day to day and do His awesome work. I decided to withhold the distortion guitar on this one making it one of the softer of the fast songs.

Track 4 â The song âAllâ Depicts total abandonment to, and focus on Jesus. The musicians and singers on this project just jumped right into this song and âate it upâ. It crescendos at the end with a modulation where everyone seems to be FULL THROTTLE , yet, because of âpainstaking mixingâ, can each be clearly heardâ¦â¦â¦.. P.S. I like the very last note of the song : (an organ with a spinning horn leslie effect)

Track 5 â The song â Hold Me Close to the Lineâ is a musical prayer asking God to help me to stay pure in His sight in everyday life. The soft keyboards and shakers keep it easygoing until we highlight the latter part with some intense orchestra work.

Track 6 â The song âWith All My Heartâ tells of the security one feels of belonging to God and proclaiming that there is none like Him. The rich, harmonizing trumpet solo in this song seems to perfectly compliment the message.

Track 7 - The song âCenter of My Heartâ came about like this : Late one night, during a preliminary recording of this CD, I decided that a sot, slow sweet, honest worship song was needed in the line-up. After toying with a chord progression for about 2 minutes, I then decided to let the words flow from my heart to the Lord. After about 1 minute of organizing the words into a song, I began to sing âCenter of My Heartâ. Recorded on this CD is the actual recording from that very night of the 3 minute old song. Nothing has been added to or taken away from this recording. This is the actual spontaneous occurrence. The reference to âchoosing the better part is taken from Luke 10:38-42 where Mary chose the âbetter partâ by sitting at the feet of Jesus.

Track 8 â The song âStraight to Youâ declares that God is worthy of all glory : past, present, and future. The intense, ârip-it-apartâ vocals in the chorus of this song pulls out all the stops !!

Track 9 â The song âTrusting in You, Lordâ is a song about the loving, helping hand of God pulling us through the hard times. This song contains some of the awesome names of God found in the Bible.

Track 10 â The song âAll Of The Gloryâ is a song about the death, burial, resurrection, and imminent return of Jesus â¦.as well the anticipation of worshipping Him forever. As for musical commentsâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦.this song speaks for itself.
