So as I previously mentioned, I lead worship at Elevation Church in Auburn, CA. It’s awesome being a founding pastor of a church plant for many reasons, but a selfish one I have is that we’ve pretty much laid the foundation for what type of Church this is going to be so when it comes to sound & style, I get to just be me. I love playing lots of songs, old & new. So I thought I would follow Brody’s lead and create a couple consistent article trends, so here we go, Songs I Sang on Sunday….

Sound of Melodies – Leeland
Let Everything That Has Breath – Matt Redman
Doxology – Hymn (David Crowder Arr.)
Great and Mighty – Jason Kennedy
Glorify Thy Name – (Old Maranatha Song I think, don’t know who wrote it, too tired to look it up right now)
Jesus Lord of Heaven – Phil Wickham
Everlasting God – Brenton Brown (Chris Tomlin Version)

This might get kind of long if I talk about each song so let’s see what I can do. Love playing Leeland songs, Let Everything is just a solid up-tempo song and we include all the kids in our first set so I try to get at least one really familiar song in there. Also like to usually do at least one hymn. It’s like the vegetable is to a balanced meal. I don’t really like many vegetables, but I do like a few and I know I need to eat them so this is pretty accurate because there’s probably only a dozen or so hymns I’ll do regularly. Great and Mighty- big anthem chorus.  Jesus Lord of Heaven is one of those songs that are great transitional songs where you start or end with a slower chorus to work with your other songs. And finally, it is rare that I lead worship without there being at least one Chris Tomlin tune. Just a catchy uplifting song to close out the service with.

So, in the spirit of interaction, do any of these songs strike a special chord with you? Or did you sing song on Sunday that I need to learn. Let me know….
