Whatever it is that is hindering you from that higher purpose in Life, just breathe in the present and realize that at least He gave you Life.
Wilton McKinley Glenn of Will and The Word Worship Music, Inc. was born in the Philippines. He has been a worship team member & leader or guest lead musician and sometimes a preaching pastor since youth. He always recognized Jesus in the Eucharist in his childhood and as he learned to read when he was between the ages of 7-10, specifically Romans and Galatians in the ages of 7-10. He debated on and off about Romans 10, confession of the mouth and heart, Roman Catholicism, and what the circumcision of the heart that some Televangelists even meant. He became a Christian and was saved at a CIA/FCA (Christians in Action & Fellowship of Christian Athletes) Youth Rally around the age of 16 in his HS auditorium when first hearing his then Asst. Youth Director and also a Senior year student role model sing while they worshipped, play, & preach about God. Thank you Jeff MacDonald and Chad Giles. This was Wilton’s 1st of many worship songs at any rally or concert. The specific lines in the music that shaped his heart to Jesus were “I’m sorry Lord for the things I’ve made it, when it’s all about You. It’s all about You Jesus” of the song “Heart of Worship” by Matt Redman.
He learned piano & keys lessons first privately at 11 at Mike’s Music in Fort Walton Beach, FL. He became a singer in a UMC youth choir & band as well as active in youth ministry on the media team on separate nights at a nearby Baptist church where he was eventually baptized in profession of faith at 17 and got a Student License Ordained for college. Throughout time, he continued piano/keys private lessons, once again at Crosspointe Niceville in a summer in his 20s and a Fall/Winter Semester in his 30s at Brandon Music Showcase in Tampa, FL. Thank you Susanne. He also had played acoustic guitar since 15 years old, learning from various friends & with his first private lesson at FSU the summer of 2005, then from Chris Nida from NWFSC in 2012 while in music and worship ministry on the Emerald Coast with many churches from 2010-2014 and now from Jeffrey Kunde’s Guitar Master Class and Ian Macintosh’s Synth U online on guitar and keys respectively. He also subscribes to Jake Gosselin’s more technical Churchfront’s Worship Ministry School, Bethel Music’s WorshipU Discovery Online lessons in songwriting, musicianship, and leadership, and Worship Online lessons on bass, guitar, and keys and tutorials from Worship Artistry by Jason Houtsma and Worship Tutorials as well.
He went to Samford after high school at the age of 17 to first study Religion, and interim preached all throughout Alabama, where he was first acquainted with his brother Kristian Stanfill of Passion Band. He ended back up on the Gulf Coast and gained his A.A. at FSU, where he joined CRU ministry in 2004-2006. There he helped produce his other role model & friend’s CRU guest worship leader, where he Student Servant Lead, Christian Artist and worship leader Jonny Diaz, “Irony” 1st cut music video. He graduated with a B.S. of Science in Electronic Media & Film: TV, Video & Audio in 2010 from Towson after FSU where most of his other family lived.
He recorded with Rhoda Weck by Chromatic Studios on an album called “The Will and The Way” in 2013, which he performed at many venues. Another demo live EP was done at Emergent Recording and Production House called “The Will, The Word, & The Way”. Through Ian Macintosh’s lessons on Ableton he learned more tracking and mixing when he did “The Will vs. The World” & “The Solar Eclipse of All Time” in 2016. This music is all now underground.
In 2014 he was rededicated by baptism through his old youth and young adult church with Shalimar UMC in the Gulf off of Okaloosa Island and baptized with “fire” by Pastor Adam Mills & Pastor Jonathan Hart. Thank you.
He finished his MA in Theology at St. Leo in winter of 2018.
After time spent there in the Tampa region doing worship music ministry all around Central FL, he decided to not to go, though they said yes to Him in discernment, denying himself to St. John of Vianney Miami Catholic Seminary in Miami, FL. It is not the way. Will returned back to the 850 in Feb. 2022, Destin/Fort Walton Beach/Okaloosa Island area and worked and continued studying. He was baptized with the “Holy Spirit” as a part of the Jesus Revolution Reawakening and a new church opening in one of his favorite locations and re-gave his testimony about near Gnosticism by way of the Catholic and Christian studying he had done through his experiences at Calvary Chapel FWB by Pastor Andrew Falleur and Pastor Curt Obrigewitch.
Between Tampa, Clearwater, Canada, Texas, Nashville & worldwide collaboratively co-writing and producing, he leads, co-writes with multiple songwriters, and produces and records with team members, songwriters, musicians, collaborators, co-producers corporately as the Church ministry brand and self-owned business projects for his band & brand established in 2020: “The Will and The Word Worship”
Will is the Creative Arts Worship Pastor/Director for “Will & The Word Worship” productions and as needed at other events or filling in as a guest lead or musicianship in NWFL Churches and even Alabama. He does this and even when not producing, is at a local coffeehouse studying or playing and singing for fun, working, or with family and/or at times, other local charity events.
He attends Gathering House Co and has been asked to play the bass guitar. His return to basic modern Christianity is out of a love and belonging authentic feeling that he has longed for many years while being isolated in his MA Th. and looking back glad for those experiences, yet, even more so glad to experience Christ genuinely and authentically in reflection, writing, studying, and creating music, not out of a works based faith based performance. Wilton studies online with the WorshipU Online Bethel Music platform track in Songwriting, Musicianship, Song lessons & more like SynthU by Ian Macintosh and Jeffrey Kunde’s Guitar Masterclass of Jesus Culture. He leads part-time in Burn 24/7 Worship Revival teams and moments in Pensacola Burn.

Some of his former, and current writings and work are in the Book section which links to a different personal blog website. Thank you God for Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit’s breath in my lungs to experience You, Y’shua, and all of these things. May I grow “to know You more and make You Known” (Is. 26:8).

God hears and answers prayers. In collaboration Logan Hill & Soto Studios, plus Will & The Word Worship Music’s Nashville squad, Wilton McKinley Glenn returns the hockey puck to the goal striking another Lightning hit score of beautiful, hopeful, and powerful worship music to God. Originally written during Holy Week of 2021, this re-write & score has come to life as a cry out of Will & God’s people for “All of You”, Jesus. This song reminds us that God is for us. We can cry a shout of praise and worship to our Master of The Universe, not just Savior and Lord of Earth and Creation as we put all of our self-dependent attitudes towards “ALL OF YOU”, and less of us, in humanity’s trials, societal issues, and fears for a future HOPE...
Based off the Psalms 18:6, encourages people to reach out to God in confidence, knowing that He is ready to help. The "cry" of our hearts, means to earnestly call out to God in a time of deep distress, signifying a desperate plea for help and a complete reliance on God's intervention; Let’s await this next song single of 2025 & spread The Word of the Good News of The Gospel of Grace that Jesus lived, died, breathed again and rose, appeared to the disciples, and ascended into Heaven so that we might be with Him once again, as Heaven is on Earth, “for such a time as this...”
"Shepherd of My Soul" is now available on YouTube, YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Tidal, Deezer, Pandora, etc. Thanks to the "Will & The Word Worship" team, collaborated worldwide 🍁🇺🇸🇨🇦🌎 & Matt MacCleod Music, Drummer, Producer & Worship Extraordinaire, Daniel Mutter, and Josh McCabes! We hope you'll like the music, song, story, and I especially hope you will like the lyric video I produced, and these are just a few of the Scriptural References at bat. It's a wrap...!

We are excited you listened and made it over 38,000K+ streams on Spotify ALONE since 2021! It’s a song about the Church and Jesus calling us back to go to it, even during the Pandemic. We’re glad you loved the sound and story and you can find it here too! Thank you Scott & Caleb! Thank you Jon, Mike, & Maria! Best in all of my Lightning Tampa Bay friends!
With the chorus based off of 1 John 4:16, this powerful and very harmonic filled cinematic musical worship art production helps you see “God loves us as we abide in Him” in all of creation, in all of His being, and in all of our spirit’s will, given back to His timing and Providence. The doxology like bridge breaks into a powerful ending with piano parts that are timeless, just like “His Love for Us”. Once again, thanks to the team in Canada with Matt Macleod Music. Go Leafs! 🍁
This is a cool little website called Reverbnation. It’s what I started out with as an Indie artist for local musicians where I’ve managed to stay in the top 10 locally and top 20 regionally in every city of Florida with my views, listens, and fans representing an eclectic mix of cover worship, music videos, and timeless songs from previous albums and recordings and time with several churches. Right now I am #1 in the Northwest Florida Region!…In Destin. Exciting! It may include LifeTEEN Catholic Christian band favorites from Nativity Catholic Church under Youth Worship leader Justin Lantz featuring artist Danielle Land. Right now it has a lot of songs from then in 2014 & 2013 with videos of recent projects and pictures! I don’t update it much but it’s a nice platform to still use for Indie artists.

Faithful (Remix) (Feat. Wilton McKinley Glenn, Malachi Baca) Will & The Word Worship Vol. 2
“Faithful” feat. Wilton McKinley Glenn is a Remix Will co-Produced with Logan Hill of BSSM and Elevation Worship Church Artistry to Producer Mentor Track as well as originally Composed by Malachi Baca of Texas, a Gen Z phenom in the instrumental worship realm. Wilton added his songwriting lyrics about a time of needing the Holy Spirit’s in and outside supernatural healing to change things happening in his life, like a prodigal son come home, that were out of his control. These things slowly came about, as time does all healing, and this beautiful symphony with strings added by Wilton, even electric guitar, and his vocals from the lyrics inspired by the Journey he was on at this point right as he was being accepted to his Theology Applied Doctorate program confirmed His identity in Christ, and not necessarily what he does for a day job or even on social media. God is faithful to those that stay in fellowship with Jesus Christ - and His Faithfulness lasts forever.
”God is faithful, and by him you were called to fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Cor. 1:19 - This is the theme verse behind the lyrics to this song. Also another verse that lead the songwriting of this feature of 3 of “The Will & the Word Worship Vol. 2 of 6 songs to come is:
”God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength.” 1 Corinthians 1:9
“Jesus It’s You” co-written by Tommy Niemann of Jacksonville, FL during a Worship Leaders Collective songwriting session, stewed on through time by me in finalizing the verses and structure of the song, and co-produced by Nashville’s music brand and band team through Soto Studios is actually my birthday psalm song. Psalm 28:7-8 says, “The Lord is my rock, refuge, strength and shield”. This is the exact part of the chorus that got me and Tommy writing. Malachi Baca and I played around with the piano composition parts earlier in the year of 2024 and this beauty which does Justice in the Artwork of visualizing Jesus in the heavens above the endless sky and released during my birthday month was very touching to me and those who listened and has a melodic vibe that will make you run to the arms of Jesus in Scripture and reality.
