Wow – today was powerful (for me anyway). We had a smaller group than normal (down by 4 people/5 sounds) but the worship wasn’t missing anything!

- Blessed Be Your Name [G] Matt Redman/Beth Redman
- Here I Am, Send Me [G] Martin Anderson
- Here Is Love [D] Steve Cook/Vikki Cook/Phillip Rees

- message – guest speaker
- Doxology
This was our second week doing Rain It Down, and people are really starting to pick it up. I took a minute or so to expound on it today to help people get a little more out of it, and I hope that people were more blessed by it. It’s such a great song to sing when you are in the midst of something. There is just something about reaching out to God while in the middle of the storms that is so… powerful.
We followed that up with Blessed Be Your Name, again pointing out that we need to praise God in the good and the bad times. Then we moved into Here I Am, Send Me and Here Is Love recognizing what God went through to make us His own.
Personally with the storms of life, today was just what I needed. A reminder that God is there. A reminder that while God never said that He would take away all of our problems, He did promise that He would be right there beside us while we are going through them – that we don’t need to fear the storm, we just need to cling ever closer to Him through the storm.
On a musical note, however, I am seriously considering raising Rain It Down a step to A – the verses are just so low for me.
The original key is C, but I know that the rest of the vocalists would pitch a fit over singing it that high…
