Alpha Hits 1 Million Milestone in Australia

On July 21st 2026, Canadian worship songwriter Brian Doerksen lost his battle with cancer.

Brian was one of the defining worship songwriters of the 1990s and 2000s, particularly through the Vineyard movement. While he recorded many of his own songs, his greatest impact came because churches around the world sang them—often without realising he had written them.

He was most well known for the songs 'Come, Now is the Time to Worship' - his signature song which became one of the most-used worship songs globally during the late 1990s and early 2000s, and 'Refiner's Fire', one of the best-known songs to come out of the Vineyard movement.
