RESTLESS HAS HIT THE 10.000 STREAM MARK ON SPOTIFY ! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! ON THE YOUTUBE LYRIC MOVIE, IT HAS HIT OVER 14k000 STREAMS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VIEWING IT FANS & Listeneres!

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.

“Your Heart” (Be Lifted High) was co-written with lyricist songwriters Davud Zade, James Sargent, Jesse Biondi, & Wilton in 2014 as the Worship Songwriters of The Church Collective online in many sessions. Wilton on vocals, acoustic, and keyboard, Scott McDonough from “Beloved” & “Altar of My Heart” on bass guitar and electric, and Geoff Weber on drums, mixing, and mastering in Clear Track Studios for the 3rd time, have produced a Christian Rock, Indie Rock version that is tantalizing and soothing. Speaking from the heart of growing up in the Lord and always lifting Him up, high above and exalted even over the Universe, “The Lord is their hearts affection” and in that, they feel “the power of His resurrection”. A 2026 debut release and comeback hit.

“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

It may include LifeTEEN Catholic Christian band favorites from Nativity Catholic Church under then in my Masters of Theology Young Adult yearss, former Youth Worship leader Justin Lantz featuring artist Danielle Land, and myself on Cajon or acoustic guitar. There are a lot of photos on that page. I don’t update it much but it’s a nice platform to still use for Indie artists. RN it is in line with marketing the newer songs. Lots of photos from Youth & Young Adult ministry through time are on this page and site I use for Underground purposes.

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

“Faithful” has a VEVO on Malachi’s Channels on YouTube as well! He is the first and main composer of “Faithful”.

“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. Born on the 28th of Septermber, my psalm is, Psalm 28:7-8 which 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. Soto Studios and I redid it around Sep./Oct. for Radio of 2024. We love this song!!!

The Name of Jesus.jpeg

 “The Name of Jesus” is about ceasing the storms of this life, like depression, anxiety, mental stress and is lo-fi vibe of me on piano and is a peaceful, but powerful 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. These same storms, such as in Matthew 14 like Peter and the Disciples when they thought they had seen a ghost as Jesus. when Peter had just enough faith to walk on water to Jesus.

Wilton McKinley Glenn

Music, Worship, Theology and the Story of

“Will and The Word Worship MUSIC LLC”

Wilton McKinley Glenn: Music, Worship, Theology, and the Story of Will & The Word Worship Music

1. Beginning: Youth, Faith, and First Notes

Wilton McKinley Glenn — known to most from the stage as "Will" — traces the arc of his calling back to early musical and spiritual formation.

At age 11, he began taking piano lessons. Those early hours at the keys gave him a foundation in melody, harmony, and discipline that would later shape his songwriting and worship leading.

At age 15, he picked up guitar. Adding guitar expanded how he could lead and write — from congregational strumming to more expressive worship arrangements.

At age 16, two defining moments happened in the same year: he became involved in youth choir, and he came to salvation. The choir gave him a place to use his voice corporately, learning blend, dynamics, and how music carries theology. His salvation at 16 anchored all of that musical gifting in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and it set the trajectory for music not just as art, but as worship "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24).

From there, Wilton kept building. He would later describe himself as "a guy who can sing and play from choir 'some kinda tenor 2 whose okay at guitar and keys'" — a nod to both his vocal and instrumental roots.

2. Education and Formation: Theology Meets Media

Wilton’s path was not just musical. He pursued formal education that would connect his faith, communication, and art:

  • Samford University — Studied Religion

  • Florida State University — A.A. in Communication

  • Towson University — B.S. in Electronic Media & Film: TV, Video & Audio

  • St. Leo University — M.A. in Theology

  • Bethel Music College WorshipU Discovery Online — Songwriting, Production, Song Lessons, and Worship Team Dynamics and Leading Online student since April 2014

This mix matters. Religion and theology gave him doctrinal grounding. Communication and electronic media gave him tools for recording, production, and distribution. WorshipU gave him practical mentoring in modern worship culture.

He also names specific mentors and influences:

  • Kristian Stanfill and friends during his time with Pi Kappa Phi at Samford, 2002-2003

  • Jonny Diaz and FSU CRU friends, 2004-2006

  • Bethel Music community, especially through Shoreline Church friends and Mobile, AL WorshipU & VIP Nights since 2012

In 2022 he was ordained by Rev. Dr. Wilton McKinley Glenn, II through the Universal Life Church for family and personal reasons, and he also counts friendship with USC Jesuits among his broader spiritual relationships since Saint Leo in 2015.

3. Ministry in the Church: 2014 Onward

Since 2014, Wilton has been serving in music ministry. His work has taken him across churches and worship gatherings:

  • Tampa, FL, Lithia, Grace UMC, Bass, Co-Lead week of Easter

  • Gainesville, FL, CityLight Church Guest Worship Lead

  • Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola area churches

  • Keys at StoryPoint 1st Baptist Gulf Breeze & Santa Rosa Beach Men of Valor Conference keys, singing, & Musical Director

  • Pensacola Burn 24/7 Acoustic Guitar Worship Leading

  • Courts of Praise Fellowship Worship Nights & Burn 24/7s

  • Milton’s The River Ministries Worship Leading

  • Keys at the Anchor Church in Fort Walton Beach

  • Nativity Church in Brandon, FL, LIFETeen cajonist & acoustic guitarist

  • Bass at Lake Magdalene UMC in Tampa, FL

  • Bass, Acoustic Guitar & Keys at Next Level Church Brandon, FL

  • Bass, Acoustic & Electric Guitar at Gulf Coast City Church in Fort Walton Beach High School

  • Acoustic Guitar at the Freedom Band Service at Shalimar UMC

  • Blue Lake Emmaus & Chrysalis Music & Study/Faith teams from 2001-2006

Those decades of local church service is the lab where his theology of worship was tested: leading congregations, writing for the room, and learning to surrender "my will to God and continue worshiping Him in spirit and in truth, not only on a platform, but through the music He has placed on my heart".

4. Musical Identity: Songs, Albums, and Sound

His songs are registered with Christian Copyright Licensing International, Inc., his Publishing Rights Organization is BMI/ASCAP, and he distributs his music through partners like Wings Access. Publishing is handled under Will & The Word Worship Publishing.

Musically, the sound sits in modern CCM and worship: piano-driven ballads, guitar-led congregational songs, ambient instrumentals like "His Love For Us (Instrumental)", and newer explorations like the "All of You (House Mix)". Lyrics consistently center on Scripture themes: the name of Jesus, God’s faithfulness, surrender, and the presence of the Holy Spirit — "Your Spirit's like the wind".

He is hands-on in production: composer, writer, performer, vocalist, violin, orchestra, guitar, mixing and mastering engineer, art director, and executive producer. Since 2026 he has also been taking self-paced courses in production and audio engineering through Logan Hill’s Artist to Producer Mentor Master Class and Bryan Boliver’s Logic Pro for Songwriters.

5. Theology of Worship

Wilton’s theology comes through both in his education and his lyrics. Key threads:

1. Surrender and Will of God: The very name "Will & The Word" points to surrendering personal will to God’s Word. He writes about feeling "deeply inspired by Jesus Christ to surrender my will to God".

2. Presence and Spirit: Songs like "Wind" pray, "Lord please come again / Send your fire & Your wind / Release us from our sins / God send Your power again". The Spirit is described as wind, as presence within.

3. Faithfulness and Love: "God you are so good / You’re always faithful". "His Love For Us" centers on God’s steadfast love.

4. Scripture-Driven: He cites Ephesians 1:16 in his fundraising: "I thank our God upon every remembrance of you". His work is licensed under CCLI, meaning it’s intended for church use.

5. No AI in Art: A distinctive note in 2025-2026 is his public stance: "there is no AI in Wilton McKinley Glenn’s music per Christian Copyright Licensing International Songwriter Tier 4 lyrics or music production. Just art".

He describes the goal as making "the sound for heaven on earth" and from his lessons as a youth, “to know Him and make Him known” (Isaiah 26:8) … Passion

6. Founding Will & The Word Worship Music LLC

How it began:
Wilton co-founded the "Will & The Word Worship" brand and band idea with a team of collaborators, including Maria Cress, Scott McDonough, and Serenity Ball. That core group helped shape the early sound and vision.

Legal structure:
There are two connected entities:

  1. Will and The Word Music, Inc. — a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) Private Foundation. This is the charitable side where donations are tax-deductible.

  2. Will & The Word Worship Music, LLC — the separate legal bracket for the brand, publishing, and production work. Songs are copyrighted under this LLC.

Wilton serves as Creative Arts Worship Director and runs the organization under "Rev. Will", “Br. Will”, or just “Will” because he thinks his whole name is confusing and long and doesn’t believe in righteousness badge titles to be fair.

Why it was founded:
From the start, the mission was to create and share worship music birthed from local church ministry and personal devotion, and to steward it professionally. Since 2014 he’s been publishing works, and the LLC structure allows him to work with Nashville teams, hire session musicians, produce videos in the Fort Walton Beach/Destin area, and involve local or remote musicians, mixers, and masters and travel. He even loves traveling just to help out with a Sunday service which has been quite often in his years.

Fundraisers explicitly state the purpose: cover pre-production, home studio upgrades to "Nashville-level standards," distribution, website, marketing, PR, female vocal accompaniment, outsourced Nashville or other studio sessions, love in studio sessions, and live video. A 2024-2025 fundraiser asked for around $800 to support the latest written song “Jesus It’s You” for his birthday last Oct. 2025 already finished lyrically in collaboration as "Will & The Word Worship Music, LLC".

Current work in 2026:
He’s producing more projects with local friends, while continuing to release through distributors and maintain the website and social links and back end administrative musical registry work, like copyright, which actually has and is a lot more than just releasing a song every week. He is also with Songtrust and the MCL.

7. Friends, Collaborators, and Community

Music for Wilton is deeply collaborative. Named collaborators include:

  • Maria Cress — co-writer on "Beloved", pianist, & co-founder

  • Serenity Ball — co-writer on "Altar of My Heart" & “You Are The Song”, & featured vocalist, co-founder

  • Scott McDonough — co-writer on “Beloved”, “Altar of My Heart”, bassist, electric guitarist & co-founder

  • Malachi Baca — frequent producer, co-writer, pianist on "Faithful (Remix)", "Wind", "Jesus It's You"

  • Seraj Ardakani — producer and remixer on "Wind" and "All of You (House Mix)"

  • Josh Snyder — co-writer on "Restless", and Spoken Word feature

  • Tommy Niemann — co-writer on "Jesus It's You"

  • Monica Abbott — featured vocalist on "Wind"

  • Rhoda Weck — featured vocalist on "The Will & The Way"

  • Michelle Blumenthal - featured vocalist on “The Will, The Word & The Way”

He also emphasizes local involvement: hoping to involve Northwest FL musicians and singers in charity fundraiser like Suds N Cinema and Company of Heaven, songwriting, local coffeehouses like Enlightened and Pink Coyote with open mic jamming and revealing of upcoming artistry songs, Soundside in Downtown Fort Walton Beach, Auston’s in Destin, FL and is still involved in local church ministry to this day.
