GMB (Giving My Best) - adalah salah satu grup musik kristen di Indonesia, yang beranggotakan 6 orang. Album mereka yang pertama dirilis tahun 1996 berjudul Kub’ri Yang Terbaik..
di tahun 1996, sekelompok pemuda musisi dan penyanyi berkumpul untuk mengerjakan proyek dengan ragu-ragu yang disebut Youth Ministry. Proyek ini bertujuan untuk membuat konser live recording untuk para pemuda di Indonesia. Selama masa itu, tidak ada acara-acara khusus pelayanan pemuda yang diselenggarakan di Indonesia dan kelompok anak muda ini merasa lapar dan rindu untuk memberikan yang terbaik pada Tuhan melalui talenta-talenta mereka.
Pada bulan April 1996, dengan seorang worship leader yang tak dikenal, Sidney Mohede, pemain keyboard Pongky Prasetyo, Joseph Djafar, Darana, pemain bass Rensis Wenas, drummer Amos Cahyadi, dan perkusi oleh Adi Prasodjo, musisi terkenal lainnya yang tidak kurang dari 18 (!!) backing vocal (antara lain Jeffry S. Tjandra, Viona Paays, Sammy Mandik and Farah Pattisalamauw yang merupakab penyanyi-penyanyi rohani terbaik di Indonesia) bergabung menjadi satu untuk konser live terbaru sepanjang sejarah di Red Top Hotel, Jakarta, yang dikenal sebagai Giving My Best (Kuberi yang Terbaik) dan seiring berjalannya waktu album pertama mereka menjadi salah satu best selling pujian dan penyembahan di sejarah Indonesia.
Walaupun mereka tidak tahu nama grup mereka sendiri, pelayanan pemuda saat itu, para fans menyebut mereka anak2 muda... GMB atau Giving My Best telah lahir!
Bertahun-tahun kemudian, personel GMB mengambil jalan yang berbeda-beda dan GMB seperti difilter oleh Tuhan, satu persatu mereka mulai melayani di pelayanan yang berbeda dan menjadi beberapa produsen musik dan pengarang terkenal hari ini. Sidney, Pongky, Amos dan Adi tetap setia pada visi GMB. Grup ini mulai melakukan kolaborasi dengan beberapa musisi terkenal antara lain Dewa Budjana (Gigi) Hendry Lamiri (violinist) and DJ. Tius (Saint Loco).
Di tahun 2006, GMB merayakan 10 tahun berdirinya GMB sebagai band dengan merilis 7 album (lebih banyak di tahun 2005 dan 2006). Di 10 tahun terkahir, pelayanan mereka telah menjadi inspirasi bagi para penyembah di Asia, Australia, Europe dan Amerika untuk menyembah Tuhan dengan kerinduan dan kuasa.

I will Follow You
Gmb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While You are walking near me?
How far have I stepped in the shadow
'Til Your stretched hand pulled me?
More and more each day
I long to see Your face
And the deeper I learn
I am amazed, amazed
I will follow You that's my promise
I will follow You 'till the end
I will follow You for no other
Have love me more
I will follow You with my whole heart
I will follow You with my strength
I will follow You 'till my whole life
Bring fragnance and glory to Your name
How high can I stand on a mountain
When it's Your hand that lifts me?
How great can my words ever be
For with Your breath You formed me
The lyrics of GMB's "I Will Follow You" express a deep devotion and commitment to walking alongside Jesus. The first verse contemplates the length of time that the singer has spent in a lowly place ("the valley"), while acknowledging that Jesus has been with them, even if that presence was not noticeable. However, the "stretched hand" of Jesus has pulled the singer out of the shadows, and this experience has deepened the singer's understanding of Jesus's love. In the chorus, the singer makes several statements of commitment: they will follow Jesus until the end, with their whole heart and strength, and they will live their whole life in a way that brings honor to Jesus's name.
The second verse shifts the focus to the singer's position on a mountain, symbolizing a moment of great success or elevation. Yet, the singer recognizes that any greatness they possess or accomplishments they achieve would not be possible without God's hand in their life. The lyrics speak to the idea that following Jesus is not just for difficult moments, but for all aspects of life. This is reinforced in the final lines of the chorus, where the singer states they will follow Jesus "for no other", suggesting that this commitment is unwavering and not dependent on circumstance.
Overall, the lyrics communicate a sincere and wholehearted dedication to following Jesus, not just during tough times, but throughout life's successes and struggles.
