James Goforth, is a passionate songwriter, guitarist and worship leader. The main thing with James is his relationship with the Lord Jesus, and joining in ushering others into His presence, glorifying Him in all aspects of his music and life. As you listen to his music the passion he has for Christ shine through in his lyrics and music. James combines his love for God and music in a very unique and fresh expression of passion and praise.

Plans are to record a live Worship CD in the Summer of 2007, James covers favorites like:
"Let It Rise" , "Breathe", "You are my King" and "I Can Only Imagine" and introduce "Come Alive" a new Worship song from James.
James is in talks to finish the LP with a label in Nashville. Songs like "Tear Open the Sky" , "Three Nails And A Cross", "Without You", remakes of "Redeemed", "Believer",
"Power in the Blood" will finish the Limited Edition Cd with 11 tunes in the Fall of 2007.
James and his wife Susan just had their first child, Selah Grace was born on December 12, 2006, James and Susan live in DeSoto Texas.

I have known James Goforth for over seven years and have found James to be a tremendous blessing in the life of All Saints Lutheran Church where I serve and in my own personal life. James has been one from whom I received encouragement and love as well as a strengthening and blessing in my faith. I have shared moments of ministry with James and believe that you too will find great gifts of God in James and coming through the ministry he shares. I do recommend that you partner with James and through this opportunity God will bless many.
--Pastor Stephen F. Roepken, All Saints Lutheran Church, Arlington,Tx

James:

Thank you for making my little girl feel so special the day we met you. She
plays your CD all the time. You are true blessing to the ministry of music.
As far as the coming to the church and playing for us, I and my family would
love to have you come.

Your name is so appropriate and I pray that He will, indeed, send you forth
so that others can not only hear His message of mercy, but enjoy the gifts
that He has so lavishly bestowed on you. I really look forward to seeing all
that's ahead for you! And I pray His blessings on it as you finish up. May
HE have the final mix! Holy hugs, my new friend...

Cynthia Record, Worship Leader Bent Tree Bible Fellowship

I love listening to your cd, it helps to keep me lifted up. I also am a
Christian, and am totally in love with the LORD, and grateful for all the
things that GOD has entrusted me with. I'm sure you know all too well what he
can do for us. The words you sing of are incredibly exactly where I feel I am
often. The Lord carries me so...much I wish I could do the same for him.
PLEASE let me know when your next cd comes out, I would love to enjoy it. The
one I have my brother, scooter gave to me, of course he kept the autographed
sleeve.
Keep up the awesome work for the lord, I love to imagine the smile on his face
and the happiness in his heart when he see's his people at work, in this all
too troubled world full of lost souls just wandering and waiting for nothing.
God Bless, you're in my prayers!
Love Peggy!*

You have an incredible ministry. Since seeing you in concert and meeting you personally, my son, Casey, is now listening to Christian music, interested in attending church and seeking more after God. …

"Thank you so much for coming, blessing us with your gift, and giving God all the Glory. I really liked how you kept plugging the Word, and the way God speaks powerfully through it." - Caren Christian, Highland Church of Christ, Abilene, Texas

"…thank you for the godly gifts you shared with us at CrossOver. God marked our time together with his grace and glory? We continue to reap the benefits of your praise and worship." - David Lang, Youth Minister, Highland Church of Christ, Abilene, Texas


My reason for emailing you is personal. As I watched your video the thought came to my mind, send the Bible story to James. This thought awoke in me as I listened to you to describe how you write the songs God has given to you. I was thankful to hear that you spend time in God's Word and those moments are the basis of your songs.

"The thing God had laid out for us to do this year was to get Christian kids to sell-out 100%. No more, yes I'm a Christian, but just excuse my language, partying, etc…And did he work there! Kids went public! Lives were changed and I believe with all my heart that this went deeper than "event Ministry." I just love when He allows me t the blessing of being any part of His great plan. He is a WOW! God! The other thing He made evident to me was that you were supposed to be there. You did indeed do a great job with your music, but you also showed them what it was to be 100% sold out to Christ! Thank you! You were a blessing! I hope we have the opportunity to get you back here. We'd love it! -
Diane Walker, Youth Minister, Lawn Baptist Church, Lawn, Texas.
