Josh brings Robert Frost and C.S.

THIS YEAR WILTON HAS BEEN ACCEPTED ON HIS OFFICIAL ARTIST CHANNEL TO VEVO! SO THERE WILL BE MORE VEVO’s LIKE “FAITHFUL” REMIX BELOW & “RESTLESS” (RADIO) ft. JOSH SNYDER ABOVE! AS A Bachelor’s of Science in Electronic Media & Film: TV/Video/Audio Producing ALUMN of Towson University, former News & Technical Director of a busy station in Baltimore, MD at Towson of over 40 students to delegate responsibilities and teach and then also several sports production positions in volunteer, intern, or PAID Video Productions freelancing with equipment or just my phone It is An Honor to be on VEVO. I used to be a 20 year old making silly commercial type stuff for other people’s businesses and just miss my guitar and wanted views or do worship videos for myself that were in my heart. Lambda Kappa Tau - our Media Society of several different majors, all in their own way creatively involved in their pursuits, prophesied on my initiation I guess I would play guitar and film or at least edit stuff. It was only a few years that all of this production audio and video and graphic design work constatly kept coming my way and in my head, eyes, and heart that I realized as who I am now, is nothing like I ever used to be in Jesus’ eyes. And that is what counts my friends. Who you were then, is nothing compared to how Jesus sees you. He sees you as the star of your own film. Take that statement or leave it, just know God’s got your back.

“All Of YOU

“All of You” by Wilton McKinley Glenn, Will & The Word Worship (Visualizer)

Based off the Psalms 18:6, “All of YOu” 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...”

Thanks to Story Loop for Visual Editing Conception ideas for the Music Video Movie! It was like the whole Bible from The Garden til the Resurrection and Heaven all the way through!

Now out on all digital platforms with a video visualizer on YouTube Will & The Word Worship for “All of You”!!!

God hears and answers prayers. In collaboration Logan Hill, Soto Studios of Nashville, & Malachi Baca, 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 “All of You” & score of Instrumentals has come to life as a cry out of Will & God’s people for “All of You”, Jesus. This song “All of You” 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...A

Reverbnation - Will and The Word

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.

The Name of Jesus.jpeg
The Name of Jesus

 “The Name of Jesus” is about ceasing the storms of this life, like depression, anxiety, mental stress and is a peaceful song about manifesting God’s power as the I AM, the one whom Moses’ recognized God in Exodus 3 and placing your faith, trust, and obedience in Jesus as God, Master, Navigator, and Captain through the storm such as in Matthew 14 like Peter and the Disciples when they thought they had seen a ghost and Peter walked on water to Jesus. Co-produced by Nashville Soto Studios.

Some of his former, and current theological, practical, exegetical, and systematic religious writings and works are in the Book portion of this site, but, for safety reasons, I took it out. I’m tired of people copying my writing style and trying to preach on Facebook. Really, I am…As A Theologian…

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” “For His Name and His Renown (Is. 26:8) and “For the Sake of The World” “As Heaven is on Earth”… I will continue to release “The Sound of Heaven” as taught by many of my peers, friends, and role models, but mostly by, the Holy Spirit. I am spirit filled, but I’m more into “brimstone and fire” than you would like to hear from my mouth. So, let’s be cordial these days, ok. Love God. Love Each Other, Love The World. That’s all it takes to fulfill the Great Commission.

“Avec quod faci.”

~”Do what you Love. Love what You Do. Love Others”.
