It's been a few weeks since I've posted and participated on the Sunday Setlist. Work has been crazy, and I barely have time for anything extra. Anyhow, here's our list from this morning:
Marvelous Light (B)
One Thing Have I Desired of the Lord (Em)
You Are Amzaing (E) (original material)
Those Who Trust (Em)
Worthy Is the Lamb (C)
Those Who Trust isn't the hippie version from Waterdeep. We picked it up from a close friend of our pastor years ago. It's a great tune. Very pretty.

Setlist:
Sing Unto the Lord a Brand New Song (Em)
All We Need (G)
The Solid Rock (D)
Sanctuary (D)
Pretty simple set. Went through it with little embellishment. We had a special speaker today, so I wanted to leave him as much time as possible, so we went with a short (for us) list and didn't venture out into any uncharted territory. The speaker is an excellent blues player, so he sat in with us, and he took a lead on Sanctuary.

Setlist:
Step by Step (G)
Holy Is the Lord (G)
Awesome Is the Lord Most High (G)
Those Who Trust (Em)
We Bow Down (and confess) (E)
How Deep the Father's Love for Us (E)
You Are Amazing (E) (mine)
We stayed high energy for most of the service. The acoustic guitar player set the groove for We Bow Down. He drives it instead of picking, but it went over pretty well. We pulled way back for How Deep, almost a capella in places. What a great song. I totally checked out on Those Who Trust, and jumbled up the order, but the band hung with me graciously.
Our lead player took ill in the middle of the set, and actually had to leave the stage, so we finished up without him. I really missed him on You Are Amazing, because had worked out some tasty fills, especially wrapping up the song. It's an older one (2001) that we used to do. I dusted it off this week and we reintroduced it to the congregation. I called him this evening, and he's recovering, so praise God. Here's the lyrics to the chorus:
Amazing love amazing me
To think that You would think of me
My God, You're so incredible
Amazing love amazing me

Setlist:
Every Move I Make (G)
When I Think About the Lord (G)
You Are So Good to Me (G)
Sing Unto the Lord a Brand New Song (Em)
Mighty to Save (A)
Sing Unto the Lord is a song that I picked up from my sister-in-law. She attended a YWAM conference (she's been with them over 25 years) and came back with a bunch of new songs that they sang that week. I've never heard a recording, and I don't know who wrote it, but it's a good song that we used to do alot, but haven't played in years. While relearning it, the guitar player was playing it with a harder, driving feel. We used to do it more folksy and soft. Anyhow, I decided that we'd go with the newer sound. It worked quite well. For probably 90% of the congregation, it was new, but the other 10% really locked into it. That's a cool sight from the front, to see the instant recognition and joy of those who recall an old song.
When I got to church the visual projector guy was talking on his cell to the pastor, who I had just passed on the way. I thought it was odd that he was driving away from church, but I had left my phone somewhere at work when I stopped in this morning, so I couldn't call and see what was up. What was up was that he was sick, couldn't reach any of the elders, and wanted to know if I could preach this morning.
So, I ended up leading worship and preaching both services. I'm resting my voice this afternoon. I preached to the nobodies in the congregation, encouraging them to keep on doing what they do. The theme I kept hammering is that there is worship in the mundane. When we're faithful to do what God has designed us to do, He'll be faithful to show up. We never know when, we just do our part.

May 10 Setlist
Franklin Covenant Church
Franklin, NC
Undignified (E)
Not Be Shaken (E)
Indescribable (D)
Praise Him, Praise Him (D)
You Are My King (D)
The Stand (A)
For the early service, we left out the first two songs. Both services, I came in on the wrong note on Indescribable. I came in singing the 5th below where I was supposed to be. Odd thing, since I've never done that before. Oh, I've made plenty of mistakes, just not that one.
Yes, that's the children's chorus, Praise Him, Praise Him, all ye little children, God is love, God is love. I wanted to place it next to Indescribable. I got thinking about the lyrics, and thought, "But...I can describe Him...God is love..." Now, I understand the artistic context that the lyrics were written in, and I'm not saying it's bad theology or anything like that, but I thought, "You know, three-year-olds can describe God." So, that's why that particular song is in that particular spot. Plus, I thought it'd be cool to try to engage the little ones in the "adult" worship setting.
Cast a wide net, and let God sort through the loot.

Franklin Covenant Church

Set list:
Everlasting God (A)
Reign in Us (G)
Thank You for the Blood (C)
Nothing but the Blood (C) (hymn, arranged by me)
Interlude (C)
Be Released (C)
My in-laws were in town this weekend. They are pretty mainstream in their beliefs, and our hippie atmosphere just doesn't appeal to them. So, like most people with visiting friends/relatives not accustomed to more boisterous worship, I was hoping and praying that nothing weird happened. My sister-in-law spoke briefly, updating the congregation on her work with YWAM in Guatemala. She's been there 25 years now. That's why my in-laws were there, they all came up for the weekend while she's in the States.
Things went well up until the end. For some reason, perhaps known only to God Himself, I blasted into an Eb F C groove. Apologetically, I looked over at the guitar players, said, "I don't know where this came from...Eb F C." The place lit up, and we stayed there for about three or four minutes, then brought it to a close, but the whole time, in the back of my mind, I'm going, "Oh, this is weird...the band hates me. Oh, this is weird."
The interlude before Be Released is actually the chorus to an old, old song of mine, which we've never done before. Simple chords C-Maj9 and F-Maj7 over the lyric:
Your blood
Taking away my iniquity
Your blood
I can start all over again
We rehearsed it Thursday, but two background singers weren't at rehearsal, and I was only able to cue one of them, so it was yo yo time for them (you're on your own). When we hit Be Released, the triplets give us trouble getting into the groove, so the drummer was screaming at us, encouraging us to lock in with him. It's a major hoot. We're playing so loud, the congregation can't make out what he's saying--I barely can--but I was craning my neck to hear what he was saying. Once we got established, we took off and rocked it out.
The message was spot on with everything that was happening this morning. A prophetic word came forth from a truly wonderful, humble, godly saint, encouraging us to let go of the past. She was clueless about the message, which truly confirmed the presence and working of the Holy Spirit.
The message, in a nut shell: REST
Recognize sin
Experience forgiveness
Secure Closure
Thank God
Next on my to do list is e-mail the band and apologize for the Eb chord.
