1-31-10 – setlist & stuff…
Ever have one of those sets where you just can’t not worship? It was like that for me yesterday. 1 brand new song, and 3 songs that we hadn’t done for a while but were great old friends. You know, the kind that you don’t have to worry about where you go next because you know the song so well that it just comes out.
And I almost missed it.
M has had some kind of cold/flu bug for about 10 days now and I seem to have caught it on Friday night. I spent Saturday in bed (as much as I could anyway) so that I would be abe to make it to church this weekend. And I did make it, but it was rather touch-and-go for a bit. The biggest problem was the sore throat that came & went. It was gone Sunday morning, but the voice still wasn’t all there.
BUT
I am so thankful for the truth on the lyrics we sang in Baloche’s Hosanna – “when we see You, we find strength to face the day. And in Your presence all our fears are washed away” That was so true for me yesterday! He gave me the strength to face the day yesterday, and I am so thankful!
Anywho, here’s the list:
- All Because Of Jesus [F]
- Hosanna (Praise Is Rising) [F]
- It Is You [A]
- Enough [F]
- kids story
- Love The Lord [D]
- message
- Lord You Have My Heart [D]
- Communion
- Doxology
All Because Of Jesus was brand new for us this weekend, but people were joining in pretty quickly. We did it in F, however the verse was still a bit low for me (since I was sick). I’m thinking about trying it out in G next week… or maybe A. We’ll see how high I can convince them to go 
Chris ended up leading It Is You & Enough – which was great because that meant I got to sing harmony – yay! We haven’t done either of those songs in months and I really missed them. It was just a morning of truly singing out praises to God and truths about Him & sending them back to Him.
We stayed very simple on Lord You Have My Heart – just 2 vocals, an acoustic and a djembe. We sang it over the congregation while the bread and grape juice were passed out for communion and asked people to take the time to prepare their hearts and minds for the Lord’s Table. Then Wayne shared a message about taking in Jesus’ flesh & blood into our bodies as a symbol of taking Him into ourselves. It was pretty powerful.
After the service the girls decided that they were going to a friend’s house – and then informed all 4 parents involved! It’s always fun when they try to do that. Fortunately for them it worked this time! They left with their friend and Eric & I actually got to have a date! Honestly it was almost surreal. He’s been out of town or pulling 14-hour days at the sales meeting for 2 weeks now, so we haven’t even seen each other at all except for last Tuesday evening. It was so nice to get to go to lunch just with him. We really need to do that more often…
All in all it was a great weekend – despite being sick. Today, however, this bug seems to have pulled in the reserves and in attacking again. Oh well, not much going on now
How was your service?
