There’s worship music. Then there’s For His Glory Worship—a fearless, genre-bending collective that refuses to play it safe, content, or conventional. With the release of their powerful new album “Mr. S.O.S: Apple of His Eye,” they don’t just raise the standard—they redefine it entirely. This is not worship that waits for a Sunday morning audience. This is sanctified fire wrapped in rhythm and rhyme, ready to set hearts ablaze wherever ears will listen.
Helmed by visionary founder Dr. Beverlin Hammett, For His Glory Worship emerges from a deeply personal history—one steeped in the pulsating heartbeat of New York City’s diverse musical culture. Her upbringing was a kaleidoscope of sound: the groove of R&B, the attitude of rap, the soul of blues, the drive of rock-n-roll, and the infectious rhythms of Caribbean and Latin genres. Her father—Mr. S.O.S. (Sound on Sound)—was more than just a DJ. He was the spark. From underground clubs to block parties, he moved the masses. But in 2004, everything changed.
On a flight bound not just for another country, but a new spiritual identity, Dr. Hammett encountered Jesus Christ in a supernatural moment that shattered the world she knew and birthed the one she was destined for. That divine intersection of past and purpose is the very DNA of For His Glory Worship—a mission-driven, sonically fearless project created to give God glory in a way that unapologetically moves people, both spiritually and physically. And “Mr. S.O.S: Apple of His Eye” is the 13-track sound of that mission fully realized.
This isn’t ambient background worship. Every track on “Mr. S.O.S: Apple of His Eye” pulses with energy, intent, and authority. The album opens with the head-nodding bounce of “Alpha and Omega”—a sweeping declaration of God’s eternal nature that sets the tone with majestic vocal arrangements and cascading harmonies. From there, the journey deepens with “Born Again for Real,” a soulful banging anthem that makes testimony danceable.
But it’s in tracks like “Revelation 5:13,” “Rolling the Dice,” and the standout “Drew Me In” where the musical and theological ambitions of the project reach exhilarating heights. Here, For His Glory Worship masterfully fuses faith-rich lyricism with hip-hop cadences, urban soul stylings, and immersive melodies that transcend genres.
“Drew Me In” in particular is more than just a song—it’s a sacred confession. A poetic testimony. A psalm in motion. This is not surface-level praise; this is a deep dive into divine affection. It’s the soundtrack of a soul caught off guard by the ferocity of God’s kindness. Lines like “drawn by love, not by demand” pierce with honesty and hope, challenging listeners to consider a God who woos instead of wages, who calls rather than coerces.
Ultimately, “Drew Me In” is a lyrical exploration of divine love as the ultimate magnet. It’s a compelling narrative of surrender, rebirth, and the profound, life-altering power of a love that convicts, not condemns, and ultimately lifts one higher. It’s the perfect invitation to For His Glory Worship’s world and the album as a whole. This is what makes For His Glory Worship so rare in today’s faith music landscape: their bold commitment to unfiltered scripture and unflinching artistry.
One of the album’s most striking qualities is its rhythmic boldness. Whether it’s the hypnotic bounce of “Glory All Around,” the slapping drive of “John 8 Your Father,” or the smooth percussive prophecy of “By Their Fruit,” every track compels movement. This is worship you can dance to without compromising on depth. In an era where so much faith-based music errs on the side of sonic safety, For His Glory Worship flips the script. Here, beats bang alongside devoted words. Verses flow like sermons. Choruses loop like prayers. You don’t just listen—you respond.
Because at the core of this project is a deeper purpose: to restore the joy and truth of worship. To remind believers that God delights in celebration, that movement can be holy, and that dancing before the Lord—like David did—isn’t just permitted, it’s prophetic.
There is a conviction that runs through “Mr. S.O.S: Apple of His Eye” like blood through veins. It is the conviction that every lyric must honor Christ, that every sound must point back to the Cross, and that music—no matter how modern—must bow to the eternal.
This is reflected even in the album title, a tender nod to Dr. Hammett’s father, Mr. S.O.S, whose legacy as a DJ helped shape the foundation of her musical life. Now, as a missionary, artist, and servant-leader, she returns to the source—not the clubs or crowds—but the Spirit of God who redeemed her. The album is both tribute and testimony: honoring a past that God has redeemed, while declaring a future that belongs wholly to Him.
Every song on “Mr. S.O.S: Apple of His Eye” is a theological thread in a larger tapestry of redemption. From the majestic holiness proclaimed in “Holy Is the Lord God Almighty” to the centering declaration of trust in “Only in You,” this album is a divine invitation—for the believer, the backslider, and the skeptic alike.
Whether you’ve walked with Jesus for decades or you’re just now asking questions, For His Glory Worship extends a hand through this music. Not just to entertain you—but to encounter you.
In For His Glory Worship, we don’t just find a collective or a brand. We find a bold new expression of modern-day worship—one that is unafraid to be joyful, rhythmic, honest, and scriptural all at once. “Mr. S.O.S: Apple of His Eye” is not a detour from mainstream Christian music; it’s a new road entirely.
And if the album’s message could be distilled into a single phrase, it would be this: Only One deserves to be famous, and even He is invisible. But through this album, that invisible God becomes unmistakably present. Let the music draw you in. Let His glory move you. For His Glory Worship has arrived—and they’ve brought the soundtrack of your next spiritual awakening with them.
