“I thank God for the moutains, I thank Him for the valleys, I thank God for the storms He’s brought me through. For if I never had a problem, then I’ll never know God could solve it, I’ll never know what faith in God could do”
Inspiring words from Andraé Crouch who has being in the ministry of praise, worship to the Master for over 3 decades. It all started off small for Andraé when as a twin child of Mr Benjamin Crouch his father was called to pastor a small local church. Unsure and requiring a sign from God, Mr Benjamin Crouch stated that as the church didn’t have a musician, if God would teach Andraé how to play the piano, then he would enter into the service he was called.
2 weeks later, Andraé was behind a piano in the midst of a congregation and his father had received the sign he needed. The fact that Andraé was then a strutter did not deter and it proved the start of a lifetime of service and the start of Andreá Crouch's ministry. He later went on to perform in several media programs ministering praise and worship songs. Devoted to the gospel genre only, Andraé was entrusted with many musical material that has become common and regularly sang in current times.
Some of the songs credited to him included “The Blood would never lose it’s power”, “Jesus is the Answer for the world today”, “It wouldn’t be Long” , “To God be the glory for the things He has done”, "Can't nobody do me like Jesus". Andrea remains an icon of the current time and an available inspiration to aspiring musicians called to service.
