The fact that Babbie Mason has become
one of the most exciting Christian
artists in the nation has not changed
her down to earth approach to life, or
her warm personality. Neither has
the fact that she has gained quite a
reputation for being one of the finest
songwriters in Christian music over the
last decade.
When Babbie is asked to talk about her life's
accomplishments, she would find it difficult to
boast that a host of Dove and Stellar
nominations line her wall. In fact, she
has reaped two Dove Awards, one for Musical of
the Year, MAKE US ONE, and another for Gospel
Recorded Song of the Year, STOP BY THE CHURCH.
She would not think to tell you that she has
graced the platform with dignitaries such as
Presidents Carter, Bush and Ford, performers
such as Bill and Gloria Gaither and the
Homecoming Friends, and preachers such as Pastor
Jim Cymbala and Dr. Billy Graham. She
would find it difficult to boast.
Babbie's songwriting efforts have produced an
abundance of timeless compositions that are
embraced by the church worldwide. ALL
RISE, EACH ONE, REACH ONE, LOVE IS THE MORE
EXCELLENT WAY, ALL IN FAVOR, JESUS THE ONE AND
ONLY, HALLOWED BE THY NAME, WITH ALL MY HEART
and PRAY ON, are but a small sampling of the
songs that have made Babbie Mason a towering
presence in the music of the modern-day church.
These powerful lyrics and singable melodies have
made Babbie Mason's songs some of the best loved
by choirs and soloists.
Babbie's most recent musical venture has
produced yet another masterpiece.
Timeless, demonstrates Babbie's unique and
diverse vocal and songwriting prowess as never
before. The project is an impeccable
period piece that resembles the musical style of
the 1940's. Not only does this classic
sound take the listener back to a simpler time,
the music also takes the listener up because
each newly composed song is for, about, or
because of Babbie's personal and intimate
relationship with Christ.
This year, Babbie adds yet another title to her
list of talents as singer, songwriter, college
professor and talk show host. The author
of her first book, Treasures of Heaven in the
Stuff of Earth , Babbie seeks to encourage
others who find themselves in the rough places.
"From time to time everyone goes through a
difficult situation. Whether you find
trouble or trouble finds you, right in the
middle of it all, if you look for Him, there is
God." She reminds the reader to search for
God, particularly when times are tough. It is
then that the nuggets of truth that are mined
from His word are the most precious.
Babbie continues to do her best to meet the
needs of her family, as well as the demands of
full-time ministry. But she does not
intend to do it alone. She is totally
dependent upon the Lord for strength to carry
out the task at hand. At home, in cities
all over the United States or abroad, in
countries such as Nigeria, Uganda, Japan, or
Belgium, God alone is the reason for the zeal
exhibited in her life and the timeless appeal
found in her songs. When you meet Babbie
Mason, you will meet a new friend who is full of
life, with a contagious love for God, family and
church.
