Songs I Sang On Sunday

I’ll be leading worship again this Wednesday night at Crossroads so I put this set together for Elevation on Sunday to be used there as well. It’s kind of like using the same term paper for two different classes, …not that I ever did that. I’m just trying to get the most out of the work I do. Energy conservation, it’s very green of me.

Here’s the set:
Made To Worship – Chris Tomlin
Hosanna – Paul Baloche & Brenton Brown
Send Revival, Start With Me – Matt Redman
How Great Is Our God – Chris Tomlin
(Sermon)
Better Is One Day – Matt Redman
Wonderful Cross (Hymn) – Arr. By Chris Tomlin & Matt Redman

As you can see this is pretty much a Tomlin/ Redman love fest here. What can I say, they are my main guys. Again, wanting to put together a set of fairly familiar songs, I seem to lean pretty heavy on these guys. Obviously, Tomlin is approaching that Steven Curtis Chapman status, where the general Christian audience are familiar with his work. But as for Redman, (and it used to be this way with Tomlin), if I was playing a CD (now I’ve dated myself) for a non-worship-team crowd, people would be like, “oh he does this song too?”

As a whole, I thought the set was great because it made it easy for people to jump right in and worship God. And wouldn’t you say that’s the whole point? Would you? No, seriously it’s a question, what do you think the whole point of playing music in church is?

  1. The point of worship is to elevate God to his proper place. It is our time to come to His feet and make an offering of our heart to Him. It is our time to come to Him in full humility and offer to Him the praise He is worthy of and the thanksgiving He deserves for what He does for us. Ephesians 1 says 3 times that all is for His praise (vv. 6,12,14). That includes us! What we can offer for all He has done, is doing, and will do for us is praise. Praise and Worship is an outward expression of our heart toward God–it is us uttering in humility our praise and thanksgiving.
