A number of years ago, worship leader & pastor Danny Chambers was kind enough to send me a very encouraging letter in response to some worship songs I had written. If you've never experienced Danny's passionate live worship albums, do yourself a favor and start with the classic "Calling Down Fire." I recently contacted Danny to let him know what had been happening with our songwriting. Here's what he had to say:
John,
Most Excellent! Way to go; "Declare..." is a great song! Loved that you were able to use a little encouragement from me, a lot of inspiration from the Holy Spirit, and some bulldog tenacity to continue on and write so well. Congrats on the open doors and opportunities that God is giving you!
Keep the Praises High,
Danny Chambers

"Hi John,
I was most taken with "Declare Your Glory" -- even though my own background, as you probably know, is black gospel. I loved the mix of voices and styles -- like Poco meets Graham Kendrick. I wouldn't be surprised to see this picked up by a host of churches in the years ahead."

Former Gospel Music Editor, Billboard Magazine
"I first heard this song (Declare Your Glory) as a part of a committee reviewing songs for a project for March For Jesus. Of the several dozen songs we critiqued this song instantly became one of my personal favorites. I like the feel/groove, the melody line is congregationally singable yet interesting, I like the picture it paints of all creation pointing towards its Creator and then the statement at the end of the chorus which simply expresses the singer's decision to join in."
Tom Ewing, Worship Pastor Resurrection Fellowship Loveland Colorado
"We have used "Declare Your Glory" and it has proven to be a great song by which the congregation can express their exaltation of the Lord (that was a mouthful, but saying "good song" falls so short of what I mean). It's also easy to learn so the people can really let loose by the time the 2nd chorus comes around.
"Above the Heavens" is also easy for the congregation to learn and helps us get into more of a meditative mood as we exalt the Lord."

"What an Awesome Song!!! God is truly Glorified in this wonderful song of worship!!
Chris Rohloff, General Manager KDKR Radio - Dallas/Fort Worth commenting on Declare Your Glory
"We at WRMV radio love the music of Recent Rainfall by John and Helen Green. It is refreshing, different and worshipful. We believe anointed music like this ought to be in every radio station's library!
Dave Cash, General Manager WRMV Radio (FM 94.4) Madison Heights, VA
"Awesome song... I just played it for the office staff. They love it. Do you have an album? I'll put it on our playlist."
Albert, Radio Rhema FM 104.9 Mt. Gambier, South Australia
"I love the song 'Declare Your Glory.' It is an exciting song with wonderful content... it encourages (us) to look outside and proclaim the goodness of the Lord. This song opens our eyes to see that it is the heart of God to proclaim and declare His glorious works. It challenges us... to go and share His love to all nations."

"My name is Rick Drake. I lead worship in a little town in Calif..
I was looking for some music on the Net and ran into your song DECLARE YOUR GLORY. Thought I would take some time and write just to let you all know what I think. Great! song, it's easy to lead the congregation with a song such as that. The chord progression has something that grabs you and the words are easy to sing, sometimes as you know it takes a few times of playing a song before the people will really sing it, but not with this one it was Great, they where singing like it was a old favorite.
Keep on praising the Lord..."
"I can't tell you how pleased I was to get your letter and CD. The songs are well written... not to mention anointed..."
