We just had a great weekend. We were supposed to play/lead praise and worship for an event at another church. We were going to play outside, in the parking lot, then "the Cross and the Switchblade" would be played inside. Rain prevented the band from doing our thing, but people got to come in out of the rain and watch the movie and receive Jesus. That's what we wanted, success.
On Sunday, the pastor was out of town, so we got to do a little bit of a more "extended set". We debuted "sing, sing, sing" by Chris Tomlin, I thought we did a great job. We then did "You are good" and "We have overcome", both by Israel Houghton/Lakewood church. Then "I am forgiven" by Ricardo Sanchez, I think it was the best we ever did that song, the timing and dynamics were on, and we could hear Jojo's solo perfectly. "Here I am to worship" and the awesome "Mighty to save" ended the main praise and worship set. For the offering, we did "sing, sing, sing" again, why not? Since we were in charge it was a great way to have people learn the new song. After that, before Les Ivy came up to preach, we did "Waiting here for you" by Christy Knockles. Awesome, beautiful song that always brings the presence of the Holy Spirit. Then for the altar call, we did "Amazing grace (Chains are gone)". I noticed that people get a little confused with this one. The new chorus throws them off. I heard this at a Chris Tomlin concert and at a Willow Creek service, when you just listen, the message is powerful. It's a great song for altar calls," My chains are gone, I've been set free". I cried the first time I heard this, because I know what he was saying.
Well, we lead every other week, so we'll be ready. We are supposed to be playing at a block party on the 27th. I hope everything works out, it will be fun! Until next time. God bless you.
