In the heart of Alverlis’ latest release, “Great Things”, echoes a profound acoustic praise inspired by the biblical verses of Luke 1:46-55. A worship leader, guitarist, singer-songwriter, wife, and mother, Alverlis channels her personal journey into this soul-stirring composition. The genesis of the song emanates from a poignant period in her life, marked by the profound joy of motherhood after a challenging journey to conceive.
The essence of “Great Things” lies in Alverlis’ desire to offer a fresh perspective to a timeless Bible verse, injecting her personal experience and profound gratitude into the lyrics. The song encapsulates the overflowing joy she felt, and it becomes a conduit for listeners to connect with the universal themes of thanksgiving for the wonders the Almighty continues to orchestrate in their lives.
Accessible on all streaming platforms, “Great Things” finds its place on Spotify’s Alverlis Official Playlist, welcoming listeners to immerse themselves in this melodic expression of faith and gratitude.
Alverlis, a native of New York City, inherited her musical inclination from her father, a singer-songwriter of the 1970s and 1980s. Music was an inherent part of her upbringing, with father-daughter duets creating cherished childhood memories. After a transformative encounter with the divine during her teenage years, Alverlis picked up a guitar and embarked on a self-taught musical journey, discovering the profound joy of songwriting that she continues to embrace.
Her music, described as “parts of her notebook in song”, is not merely a creative endeavor but a heartfelt sharing of faith and life experiences. Alverlis serves as a dedicated youth minister, contributing her musical talents to various events, concerts, and liturgical services. Engaging with organizations like Youth2000 New York and the Sisters of Life, she has left an indelible mark in the liturgical landscape, collaborating with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in leading Eucharistic adoration during Catholic Underground NYC.
Alverlis’ deep connection with her community extends to the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens, where she actively participates and collaborates with parishes. As a songwriter for WorshipNow Publishing, her liturgical tunes have found a home, adding another dimension to her musical repertoire.
With her latest album, “Arise”, Alverlis aspires to lead believers and non-believers alike to a space of surrender and praise. Her music, available on various platforms, including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Deezer, YouTube Music, and Catholic radio stations, resonates as a soulful testament to the transformative power of faith and gratitude.
