It was good to be back at Elevation yesterday. I heard Elijah Stephen did a fine job filling in for me the week before, which I’m thankful for. Having been out of town for so long, and not having much prep time. I wanted to keep the worship set for church fairly simply and I really just wanted to enjoy the music and focus on leading people into worship. So here is the set I went with:

The Everlasting – Damian Horne (that’s me)
Marvelous Light – Charlie Hall
Hallelujah Jesus – Evan Wickham
Holy is the Lord – Chris Tomlin
You Are My King (Amazing Love) Billy Foote
Grace – Phil Wickham
Sing, Sing, Sing – Chris Tomlin

So, The Everlasting, is the oldest song on my new album, Practice of the Presence. I wrote it the day before my 2nd daughter Macie, was born. Took a bunch of imagery from Isaiah 40, and put it into a song that people seem to enjoy.

Wanted aother an up-tempo song in the Key of A, hadn’t done Marvelous Light in a while, fun song that ended up really tying in with the message.

I am really surprised that Evan Wickham hasn’t blow up yet, this album, Mysterious Things, from 2006 is great with some fantastic tunes for corp. worship.

Holy is the Lord = Christian Anthem.

You are my King = Christian Power Ballad, just continuing with a working formula here.

Grace, is a nice song, I know some might think it’s a mental stretch to sing to Grace, but I think people are smart enough to appreciate the lyric and make the connection.

Sing, Sing, Sing, token four on the floor driving Chris Tomlin song to close out the service. I did have to instruct the audience they needed to clap double time not just the the 2’s and 4’s. I hate having to tell people how to clap to the rhythm, but sometimes it just has to be done.
