Graham Kendrick (born on August 2 1950, Blisworth, Northamptonshire) is a prolific British Christian singer-songwriter and worship leader. He was the son of a Baptist pastor. He began his songwriting career in 1972.

Career

Kendrick's most enduring accomplishment is his authorship of the words and music for the song, "Shine, Jesus, Shine", which is among the most widely heard songs in contemporary Christian worship worldwide. His other songs have been primarily used by worshippers in Britain. Kendrick is a co-founder of the March for Jesus. He received a Dove Award in 1995 for his international work. In 2000, Brunel University awarded Kendrick an honorary doctorate in Divinity in "recognition of his contribution to the worship life of the Church". He lives in Croydon and is a former member of Ichthus Christian Fellowship.

Kendrick first came to prominence as a member of "In The Name Of Jesus," the ground-breaking mission team led by the Rev. Clive Calver. Calver went on to run British Youth for Christ and the Evangelical Alliance, and then left the UK for the Evangelical Church in the U.S. Kendrick, however, has remained firmly fixed in the UK church, as probably the most influential Christian songwriter of his generation.

Kendrick also released "Let the Flame Burn Brighter" as a single in 1989, although it did not reach a Top 40 position in the UK Singles Chart.
