Kingdom of Love is the seventh studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Scott Wesley Brown, released on September 10, 1984 by Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Greg Nelson and Phil Naish. This is the second album Brown has released, as he has put out his compilation album All My Best back in April of that year. Kingdom of Love achieved significant success in Christian music circles, due to its lead single "Yeshua Ha Mashiach." The song's title translates from Hebrew to mean "Jesus the Messiah" or "Jesus the Anointed One." The lyrics open with an observer stepping into a crowded room to see a teacher with "calloused hands" and "dust upon His feet," surrounded by twelve close friends. While the narrator initially only visits out of curiosity, they notice the teacher staring deeply into them. The narrator whispers to a nearby woman to ask who the man is, and she replies with the chorus phrase: "Yeshua Ha Mashiach, the image of I Am...". Even though the song has a worship style chorus, the music is contemporary and upbeat. "Yeshua Ha Mashiach" was Brown's second number one hit after his previous 1982 -83 hit "He Will Carry You." The song (written by Greg Davis and Greg Fisher) was nominated for a Dove Award for Song of the Year in 1985. The title song serves as the second single. Written primarily as a missionary anthem by Brown and White Heart's Billy Smiley and Mark Gersmehl, the song centers on the global Christian mandate to spread the Gospel, offer humanitarian support, and serve impoverished nations. A music video was made for the song in co-operation with Mission Aviation Fellowship, a Christian organization that provides aviation, communications, and learning technology services to more than 1,000 Christian and humanitarian agencies, as well as thousands of isolated missionaries and indigenous villagers in the world's most remote areas. Brown does not appear in the video, but uses the song as motivation and urges volunteers to go out into the mission fields. Kingdom of Love topped Cash Box magazine's Top 15 Inspirational Albums chart in February 1985 while on Billboard, it was Brown's only album appearance climbing to number 19 on their Top Inspirational Albums list.

Signature is the sixth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Scott Wesley Brown, released on September 16, 1982 by Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Dan Collins. Signature was, in some ways, a breakthrough album due to the success of the album's only Christian radio single and Brown's first number one hit "He Will Carry You." The track functions as an inspirational ballad designed to offer comfort, reassurance, and spiritual strength to those going through personal hardships. The lyrics explicitly incorporate Jesus' words from Matthew 11:28: "Come unto Me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest." "He Will Carry You" was nominated for a Dove Award for Song of the Year and Brown was nominated for Songwriter of the Year, two years in a row in each category in 1983 and 1984. It became a signature song for Brown as has performed this song at his concerts and still performs it to this day. In 2006, "He Will Carry You" was listed at number 95 on CCM Magazine's book The 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music. The rest of the album features backing vocals from Amy Grant, Gary Chapman, Kathy Troccoli, producer Collins and his wife, singer Jamie Owens Collins, Kelly Willard and Marty McCall, who at the time was the lead singer of the Christian pop rock band Fireworks and later a member of First Call. Signature is not available on digital platforms.

SWB is the fifth studio album and self-titled initials by Christian singer - songwriter Scott Wesley Brown, released on March 28, 1981 by Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Dan Collins. SWB features a fuller production by Dan Collins, who at the time was Sparrow Records director of A&R and is the husband of Christian singer Jamie Owens Collins. Both Dan and Jamie provided backing vocals on the album. It contains the standard track "This Little Child," which serves as both a Christmas song and a reflection on global brokenness, contrasting the humility of Jesus Christ's birth with his identity as a heavenly king. The song later appeared on the Sparrow Christmas release 25 Songs of Christmas in 1982 and on his compilation albums All My Best and The Scott Wesley Brown Collection. "This Little Child" has been made as an accompaniment track on cassette tape and later on digital platforms so it can be sung by vocalists in churches. The opening track and Christian radio single "Learning to Live Like Jesus" focuses on the theme of spiritual maturity and daily Christian discipleship. Rather than looking at grand theological events, it emphasizes the practical, daily process of sanctification. It was a Top 10 hit on the Christian AC chart peaking at number 6. NOTE: Brown's song "My Treasure" was later covered and recorded by popular Spanish opera star Plácido Domingo on his platinum-selling 1981 crossover album Perhaps Love.
