Don Moen — Songs and Biography

History and Sound

Don Moen worked with Integrity Music for many years and recorded albums for church worship.

He wrote “God Will Make a Way” after a tragedy in his family. The song repeats several simple lines about hope again and again, making it easy to sing together. His repertoire also includes songs by other writers: “Give Thanks” was written by Henry Smith, and Moen’s recording helped make it famous. The selection below includes “Thank You Lord” and “I Offer My Life.”

Albums and Recordings

In Moen’s live recordings, songs often flow into one another, as they do in a church gathering. A good example is the album “God with Us,” conceived as a sequence of songs and instrumental transitions. If you would like to hear his style in a shorter format, “I Offer My Life” and “Thank You Lord” are good choices. In both recordings, the harmony and tempo leave enough room for the voice so the congregation can join in without much preparation.
