setlists

Great time of reflection and worship yesterday, as our set was designed to ask God to focus our gaze on His beauty, Jesus' sacrifice, and our call to repentance.  I always enjoy planning a more reflective worship set for the season of Lent....We also had a bit of a change from our typical style in that we had fiddle, acoustic, bass and perc, and a single female vocalist (in addition to my vocal).We opened with Relentless.After our call to worship we sang Hosanna (Hillsong), When I Survey/Wonderful Cross, Nothing but the Blood, and We Will Run.Our offering song was Love is WarJoin…

This morning's worship set began and ended with surrender.  What/where is God calling you to surrender?  We took a look at Psalm 32 - where David mentions his bones wasting away.... what causes your bones to waste away?  What sin do you hold onto, instead of surrendering - that causes your angst, your soul to groan....We opened this morning with White Flag.After our call to worship we sang You Lifted Me Out, Crown Him with Many Crowns, Draw Me Nearer, and Lead Me to the Cross.Our offering song was At the Cross.Join us in just TWO weeks for "No Other…

I didn't post my normal Monday Morning recap, mostly because my wife and I snuck out of town for a couple days, but last Sunday our Kids Choir presented and led us in Good Kings Come in Small Packages - a terrific kids musical about the story of Josiah, the boy-king that started his reign at the age of 8, after his dad (Amon) was killed by some servant.  Amon was a bad dude.   Josiah restored true worship to Judah, destroyed idols, and cleansed the temple.In addition to the normal musical script - my wife also wrote a scene for…

What a great morning to be reminded of God's love for us.  I said something yesterday to the effect of - may we never forget how much God loves us.  Especially in a season like lent - which can be characterized by fasting, repentance, reflection - all great things, but never forget that Christ HAS indeed risen, and HAS taken His place at the right hand of the Father, and because of His sacrifice, we are made clean.We opened yesterday with Awake My Soul - a hymn rewrite that I did from an Isaac Watts text.After our call to worship…

Lent started last week - with Ash Wednesday, and carries on for 40 days before Easter (not including Sundays).  Growing up Catholic, as with a few other denomination that observe the Lenten season, Lent is typically characterized by a season of repentance, fasting, and reflection - a time of preparation for the celebration of Christ's resurrection.  It's important to note, though, that no amount of piety can take the place of a heart and soul completely surrendered to Christ.  It's not in our posture that we're found Holy, it is in Christ's death and resurrection that our standing is made…

Anybody else having a hard time with the fact that it's already February?We opened yesterday with May Jesus Christ Be Praised - a hymn rewrite that I did with a bunch of guys several years ago.After our call to worship we sang I Am, Immortal Invisible God Only Wise, Let It Be Jesus, and Oceans.Our offering song was a new (to OMPC) tune called Never Once.
