Sunday Set List

October 19, 2008

Today, I have to comment on the group of musicians high above the list of songs that we did. God has raised a worship group from the congregation and we are totally enjoying the fruit. Fortunately, we have a large amount of talent that up until this point has remained largely unfocused. But for this Presbyterian church, seven worshippers on the chancel is a big deal. Today, we witnessed much clapping on the beat and several cases of clapping to the beat AND stepping side to side! It was NUTS!

Yeah, God. Hopefully, within a relatively short amount of time, my role in the music will decrease. This is a strange thing to say, because I love to lead worship! But, since it’s not my primary role, so to speak, giving away the cool ministry jobs by equipping the able seems like it’s the Biblical thing to do. I am noticing though that equipping just creates more work. After a morning like this morning, it’s totally worth it!

Here’s the set:

1. Everyday (we’ve never done this song, so the newness of it was cool. How many of you would like to play this song for the first time again?)
2. Majestic (I’ve always played guitar during worship, always, but this week I got to wander the chancel with my mic…I think I like it.)
3. We Fall Down (Cuz, sometimes you just have to do this song…and the guy that sang it, really know it!)
4. Doxology (Crowder — the time sig confused the crowd at first, but they got into the vibe)
5. It Is Well With My Soul (If you’re not doing the Jars of Clay version from Redemption Songs, then you really need to be. I would have never in a million years guessed it, but my church totally loves the cowboy guitar style.)

At some point I’ll remember to record something. Our big rock it out night is Wednesday…we’ll do some Reggae then and I’ll post that!

Thanks Fred for the Carnival. This is part of Sunday Setlists #13 @ Fred McKinnon’s blog.

(Tomorrow, Monday, I will be unleashing a new Carnival…check back on 10/20)
