“I Will Serve Thee” by Bill and Gloria Gaither”
I Will Serve Thee is a well-loved song by gospel composers Bill and Gloria Gaither. Bill Gaither, born in 1936 in Alexandria, Indiana, was drawn to music from a young age. While he initially pursued a career in teaching after graduating from Anderson College in 1959, his love for gospel music led him to form the Bill Gaither Trio in 1956 with his siblings Mary Ann and Danny. This group became the foundation of a long and influential music career.
Influenced by Southern gospel greats like Jake Hess, Hovie Lister, and groups such as the Speers and the Statesmen, Gaither’s style was rooted in the traditional sounds of gospel but carried a deeply personal and heartfelt message. After marrying Gloria Sickal in 1962, the Gaithers began to write songs that resonated with audiences worldwide, combining Bill’s musical compositions with Gloria’s poetic and spiritually deep lyrics.
I Will Serve Thee reflects the Gaithers’ commitment to serving God, expressing gratitude and dedication to Him for transforming lives. This song, along with many others written by the Gaithers, became a gospel anthem that has been embraced by people of all backgrounds, speaking to the joy of serving God with a heart full of gratitude for His grace and mercy.
