After receiving a call from Steve Perry inviting him to audition as lead guitarist for his next solo project, For the Love of Strange Medicine, Brewster accepted and began songwriting and rehearsals for the album. Brewster's guitar technique, tone, and equipment choices possessed similar qualities and texturing to Journey's Neal Schon, and was touted as a favorable feature in the resulting album. He also toured with Perry for six months from 1994 to early 1995.
While working on his own self-titled album (with producer Paul Mills), Brewster worked with label-mate Darrell Evans, contributing vocals, guitar and co-writing on Evans' Freedom project. He also spent some time on the road, touring with Michael W. Smith during Smith's 1998 Live the Life tour. Brewster's second album, Live to Worship was released in 2000. According to his biography in his official website, "Lincoln now combines his talents and determination to record songs that will minister to a new generation of believers."

And You call them by name
The skies proclaim, God, You reign
Your glory shines, You teach the sun
When to bring a new day
Creation sings, God, You reign
Forever and ever, God, You reign
You part the seas, You move the mountains
With the words that You say
My song remains, God, You reign
You hold my life, You know my heart
And You call me by name
I live to say, God, You reign
God, You reign, God, You reign
Forever and ever, God, You reign
God, You reign, God, You reign
I know You reign
Forever and ever, God, You reign
Hallelujah, Hallelu, Hallelujah, Hallelu

The lyrics to Lincoln Brewster's song "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing" are a testament to God's power and reign over everything. The first verse acknowledges that God is the creator of the universe, painting the night and counting the stars, and teaching the sun when to bring a new day. Creation sings of his glory and proclaims that God reigns. The chorus repeats the phrase "God, You reign" as a declaration of this truth.
In the second verse, the lyrics continue to highlight God's power and control. He can part seas and move mountains with only his words. The singer recognizes that God holds his life, knows his heart, and calls him by name. He lives to say that God reigns over everything, including his own life. The chorus is repeated, once again affirming God's reign.
The bridge adds a deeper layer of reverence and worship. The repetition of "Hallelujah" acknowledges that God is worthy of all praise and worship. The final verse repeats the declaration of God's reign, both over the universe and over the individual singer's life. God reigns forever and ever.

Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Glory to the King...
