Word and Life Worship

Story

Word and Life is a Christian Contemporary Worship Band, from Word and Life Church in Boksburg, South Africa and formed in 2010. Their passion is Jesus, to worship Him with everything in them and to connect people with God. Their musical influences are Hillsong United, Worship, Young and Free, Planetshakers, Elevation Worship and Christ Tomlin. The band performs in church services and composes songs. In 29 October 2010 they released their live CD/DVD album, Glorious, featuring 10 original songs produced by Stass. Their second worship album was launched 24 July 2011. The CD, Sing of His Love features 11 original songs and a bonus DVD with sermons, behind the scenes interviews and a music video of Let me hear you say. On 31 August 2014 they released another live album with producer and recording engineer Danny Duncan and Mark Townsend from Nashville and Texas. The album Freedom featured nine original songs, 2 songs witten for the album and one of our favourite worship songs, Break every chain. Since the release of their first album, they have appeared on Kyknet’s DKNT Gospel, Kyknet NOU and Faith TV. They were also featured in an article in Vrouekeur magazine. They had various radio interviews and airtime play on radio stations country wide. At the 2011 SABC Crown Gospel Music Awards they were nominated for Best worship song. In 2014 they won the award for best gospel DVD at the SABC Crown Gospel Music Awards. At SAMA 2015 they have been nominated for Best Contemporary Faith Music Album. On 25 May 2017 they released their popular single I Love It, with a bonus acoustic track, acoustic video, lyric video and behind the scenes footage. Their single, Flood My Heart was released in January 2018 in original, radio and remixed version. 1 April 2018, they released an Easter single, Risen in original and acoustic version. Worthy is the Lamb is also on this CD release and this promise to be an awesome blessing. Word and Life are privilege and blessed with opportunities to spread the gospel through South Africa with passionate praise and worship and to allow God to do what only He can do. The promise is not that we will feel great or that our heavy load will be lifted, but that God will come. And when God comes in his own time as a response to our worship, Psalm 96:13 declares, "Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness."
