Wolfe has written over sixty Christmas songs included in eight Christmas musicals, including "Rejoice with Exceeding Great Joy," "No Room," "Cherish That Name," "Wise Men Still Seek Him," "For God So Loved the World," and "Seeking for Me."
"Rejoice with Exceeding Great Joy" is used yearly in the candle lighting ceremony at Epcot in Orlando, Florida.
He went to Ohio State University, received his baccalaureate degree in business education, and began teaching in public schools.
Being a talented church musician, he was offered a job at a Pentecostal Bible school in California to teach worship music – which led him to return to a traditional learning atmosphere where he eventually received his bachelor's degree in Music Education from San Jose State University.
Lanny is presently serving as CEO for Paradigm Music Productions, writing, conducting choir clinics at churches across the country and accompanying members of the original Lanny Wolfe Trio for reunion concerts at selected churches and venues throughout the nation.
Wolfe was vitally involved in the creation of the 3ABN project "Calvary" featuring six of Lanny's songs, three of which were new and co-writes.
During the 1980s, the group added others as Dave Petersen departed, followed by his wife who left to raise their children.
It was considered an honor among UPCI musical artists to be asked to perform by Wolfe during this concert.
Songs made popular by these Mass Choir concerts were often copied by worship teams in the UPCI, charismatic, and other Pentecostal-style churches coast-to-coast.
His trio often recorded using London-based orchestras, often arranged by the famed gospel music producer, Lari Goss.
