If we have a wide-awake heart for what we experience in our society, worldwide, including in our dealings with creation, then this enables us to go through the day with attitude.
And when we are awake to the beauty in life, to love, to what sustains us, what protects us, then we find our center. Then nothing can knock us down so easily."

Fritz Baltruweit (born 1955) is an Evangelical Lutheran pastor and songwriter from Hildesheim. His songs have influenced an entire generation of Kirchentag attendees. Baltruweit's catchy melodies have become modern classics, ennobled by their inclusion in the Protestant hymnal and the Catholic Gotteslob.
Baltruweit sees himself as a songwriter in the tradition of Hannes Wader and Reinhard Mey. The son of a deacon and former Boy Scout learned to sing in the Hanover Boys' Choir. As a teenager in the 1970s, he wrote his first songs for the guitar, which were not even church-related at the time. The father of two has now composed around 1.000 songs and written the lyrics for around half of them himself. More than 50 records and CDs as well as four songbooks are the result of this musical work.
