Paul Baloche’s impact on praise & worship is profound. Besides providing countless churches with music instructional DVDs, the singer and guitarist has penned some of the most frequently performed songs in worship services, including “Open the Eyes of My Heart” and “Above All.” Baloche’s popularity can largely be credited to his gift for infusing praise & worship with catchy rock guitars and the kind of personal lyrics favored by secular singer/songwriters. He perfected the style while serving as the worship pastor at Texas’ influential Community Christian Fellowship church, a position he held throughout the ’90s and into the 21st century.
