His years as a music publisher, product developer, producer, touring clinician/musician, arranger/orchestrator, and worship choir director have given him the great honor of working and partnering with individuals such as Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Selah, Don Moen, Wes King, Paul Baloche, Travis Cottrell, Laura Story, Brian Doerksen, Laura Story, Bill & Gloria Gaither, Michael Neale, Geron Davis, and even The Robertson Family (Duck Dynasty).

His father, grandfather, as well as several uncles and cousins, were/are pastors. After spending many years as a local church worship pastor, God opened the door for Luke to step into the Christian music industry, while continuing to remain heavily involved in the local church.
This blog is a journal of Luke’s experiences and thoughts of one in the academic world, ministry, and music production — holding on to “normalcy” as it relates to his quest as a leader, musician, friend, and encourager.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy *catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

I’m desperately looking for a copy of the split-track CD for your musical “Because He Lives” Easter program. I have purchased the leader’s guide and the listening CD, but the split track is no longer in stock. I can’t find it from any distributors. Do you have any leads where I might be able to find a copy?
Unfortunately, I no longer have access to these audio masters. I can only suggest asking around Facebook and other social media outlets, along with searching places like eBay. I am so, so sorry!!!!
I’ve recently learned Chandlers Music has a lot of this old catalog. Maybe worth checking out. https://chandlermusic.com/childrens/39400-because-he-lives-unison-choral-book-pop.html
Do you happen to have access to “Scripture Song Memory for Kids” mini-musical split-track accompaniment? I would love to use this resource with the kids at my church.
I wished I did, but maybe check Chandlers Music. It appears that have a lot of that catalog. So sorry! https://chandlermusic.com/childrens/25036-scripture-memory-songs-for-kids-pod-4575722407.html
Hello! I just heard your song on Pandora. Where can I purchase your CD?
I wish you could, but it’s out of print. So sorry!
Hi, Dr Gambill, I am looking for When Hope come down from Christmas this year accompaniment music and the SATB score. Is it possible to purchase from you as it is out of stock online. My contact is penangcc1@gmail.com. Thank you for your reply
Unfortunately, I don’t have this where I I can provide it to you. Chandlers Music online sometimes has items like these.
Hi, Mr. Gambill! Our church has the children’s musical Jesus Means Christmas to Me published by Brentwood Benson in 2016. We LOVE the song “Jesus Means Christmas to Me.” Now since Covid, our services are livestreamed. I can’t find this song listed in CCLI songs (we have a CCLI livestreaming license). We would love to have permission to livestream our children singing this song at Christmas. Thank you!
Greetings!!! The copyright for this song is controlled by Capitol Christian Music Publishing. I would suggest contacting them. https://www.capitolcmgpublishing.com/
Thank you!
Could you please send lyrics to “Bless the Lord”? I heard it on my Pandora and can’t find the lyrics online. It’s a beautiful song.
Thanks for reaching out!!! Honestly, I produced this project so long ago that I don’t even recall which version of this song is on that project and I don’t have Pandora. So, I’m of no help for you. Maybe try a Google search. My apologies!!! Merry Christmas!!!
I was looking for your sheet music to an arrangement you did with “Prepare Our Hearts” & “Holy Ground.” Can you tell me how to find it or purchase it?
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, that project is out of print, but songbook copies can be found at places like eBay. Here’s a link to one of them. Hope this helps!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/265918910514?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xmuh_r9sSJy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hey Luke! Big fan of your music! Do you have a chord chart for a band for your arrangement of Great I Am by chance? If so, do you know where I could find out? Feel free to email me at peterquinlan37@gmail.com if you prefer. Thank you so much for your time 🙂
Thank you for reaching out! I’m sorry, but I don’t have this. Maybe check places like eBay and other out-of-print choral sites for a copy of it. So wish I could lend a hand! Hope you have a super new year!!!
