Twila Paris doesn't spend a lot of time looking back at 22 years of success as a songwriter and recording artist. Despite 32 No. 1 songs, five Dove Awards, three American Songwriter Awards, three books published and more than 2 million albums sold, the numbers don't mean much to her. Whether it's in music, ministry, marriage or motherhood, for Twila, true success isn't about numbers. It's about faithfulness. "My dad once said, 'The definition of success is simple: God's faithfulness plus my faithfulness equals success.' Of course, God's faithfulness is a given; the only variable is my faithfulness. So no matter what you appear to accomplish or whether people think you're successful or not, it all comes down to that."
Throughout her career as an artist and songwriter, a huge component of that standard has been in giving songs of worship back to the church as an offering for the One who has always been faithful to her. On each of her 17 previous albums, the songs that have resonated most with listeners have been those that have a definitive worship aspect. Songs like "We Will Glorify" and "He Is Exalted" have transcended the music business, making their way into the hymnody of the church, forever captured in time in hymnals all over the world.
