Several Christian artists, such as Michael W. Smith and Sonicflood, have recorded Baloche's songs. Many of his songs are among the most performed songs in services according to CCLI, a company that handles copyright licensing of Christian songs and other resource materials for use in churches. Among them are "Open the Eyes of My Heart" (ranked number 2) and "Above All" (ranked number 22), cowritten with Lenny Leblanc. "Above All" was nominated for Song of the Year in both the 2002 and 2003 Dove Awards, and in 2002, Michael W. Smith's recording of that song won Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year. Baloche was also nominated for Songwriter of the Year in 2002.
Baloche uses his position as a recording artist to provide resources for churches. His catalog of six albums is focused on providing worship music for the listener to worship along with, and for churches to use in their own services. His albums are released by Hosanna! Music, a division of Integrity Music. Through Integrity, Baloche has also written a book, God Songs, and released instructional DVDs that cover a variety of issues central to contemporary worship, such as music styles, music theory, creating flow in worship, and guitar techniques (including his distinct open chord voicings).
In addition to his material output, Baloche annually participates in several seminars for worship leaders and musicians throughout North America (many of which are facilitated by Integrity), and has started to participate in seminars in Asia as well.
His 2006 release, A Greater Song, is a live recording featuring new songs, some cowritten with leading worship artists like Matt Redman ("A Greater Song") and Integrity executive vice president Don Moen ("Thank You Lord").

Paul Baloche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make the mountains bow down
You place upon my lips the words of a heavenly song
Set to the beat of a different drum
And I hear You whisper softly in my ear
Until the melody is all that I can hear
You put a new song in my mouth
I will worship you and tell of the things You do
You put a new song in my mouth
You put a new song
You put a new song in my mouth
A hymn of praise to You, my God
I will worship you and tell of the things You do
You put a new song in my mouth
You made the dry bones dance, You make the rocks cry out
You make the mountains bow down
You make the mountains bow down
In this song, Paul Baloche is expressing his gratitude and praise towards God for the way He has empowered him to live a life of worship. He starts by acknowledging God's power and ability to do the impossible, such as making dry bones dance, and how He can use anything, even rocks and mountains, to declare His glory. He then describes how God has given him a new song to sing, one inspired by God himself and set to the beat of a different drum. This new song is a hymn of praise to God and it fills him with an overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude. He declares his intention to worship God and tell of the things He has done, giving full credit to God for the great things in his life.
Overall, this song is a message of thanksgiving and praise to God for His power, inspiration, and grace. It reminds us that God can do the impossible and that He has given us the privilege of worshiping Him through music. It encourages us to sing a new song of praise, one that is inspired by God and seeks to declare His glory.

What a Good God
Song by Paul Baloche
Each time I doubt Your goodness
You show me You are with us
Your presence makes the difference
I've seen it every time
What a good God
Bringing me back to life
Opening up my eyes
God of every blessing
Standing by my side
Calling me by name
I won't be afraid
Faithful to Your promise
You will make a way
No wall can stop Your kindness
No place Your love won't find us
Mercy is right behind us
I've seen it every time
What a good God
Bringing me back to life
Opening up my eyes
God of every blessing
Standing by my side
Calling me by name
I won't be afraid
Faithful to Your promise

John 14:6 KJV, "Jesus saith, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
1 Peter 2:24 NIV, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."
John 3:16 KJV, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".
Romans 3:23-24 NIV, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus".
John 8:12 KJV, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life".
Jesus is the only WAY to God, the TRUTH of salvation, and the Breath/Bread of LIFE.
ACCEPT Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Sins separate us from God because He's Holy. All sins will be forgiven and erased through faith in Christ Jesus. God โฅ you, is alive, merciful, faithful, truthful, and is waiting with His arms wide open FOR YOU! For Jesus did not come to establish a religion, but to become a mediator between God and men.
Through the Grace of God, Jesus was given to us by paying the price at the Cross at Calvary. Repent and confess from your sins to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you. A sinner cannot save a sinner, only a sinless person can. That sinless Being is Jesus Christ Himself.
Through the faith in Christ Jesus, the sick was healed; everywhere He went, He healed the blind, the mute, the deaf, the demon-possessed, raised the dead, as well as performed many miracles; He also walked on water, turned water into wine, calmed the storm with His command, and was raised up from the dead. Miracles are still being seen today! Jesus is our helper, our healer, our refuge/protection, and our strength for when time gets tough.
God is standing and knocking at the door waiting for your answer right now because THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS COMING.

I'm listening to this at 9:30pm in Perth, Western Australia the night before I am having an angiogram and I believe the Lord God Almighty will make a way. Please believe with me in prayer. Praise the Lord Most High.

@king bink Thank you and many blessings to you in the name of Jesus.

@Paul Baloche I'm doing well Paul, thanks for asking. Regarding the procedure, it was discovered that my issue was better than expected and can be managed and even reversed with medication and lifestyle changes. Praise God! I am, however, facing another serious health challenge at the moment. But with this I also have a renewed and deeper faith and have been drawn nearer to the Lord. What a blessing! Psalm 73:26 ESV My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Bless you Paul and thanks for reaching out.
Paul Baloche
How are you David?
