He is also the author of the hymns Perfect Peace and Sing Noel.
Dr. Calvin Taylor has prepared a unique forty-five minute sermon in songs featuring beautiful scripture passages followed by moving piano solos and congregational singing. This inspiring worship has been presented in hundreds of churches across America.
“Calvin Taylor’s music and message from the Scriptures were truly an inspiration and introduction to grow in our awareness of the many ways we can worship the Living God. His presence and music worked wonderfully in our morning worship setting. His piano arrangements were a celebrative conclusion to his reading of the Good News from the Holy Scriptures. He is particularly effective in having the congregation participate in worship. We praise the Lord always for his charming and inspirational music. His popularity will remain with us as we look forward to his coming again to our church.”
