June 8, 2008 Worship Set

I think if you look at the worship sets we play, you'll start to see a trend: Desperation Band, Hillsong, Tim Hughes, New Life Worship... This weekend's set is no different. I have been borrowing ideas from Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines, our sister/parent church. It saves me time and energy to piggyback off of their work plus they have been picking some really great songs lately.

Here's the worship set for this weekend:

Call to Worship:

• Everything to God by Desperation Band - I'm not sure who the original writer is of this tune is but I imagine it's either Glenn, Jared or Jon. Just a lucky guess. This is a great, fast-paced tune that leaves me pretty breathless by the end. You definitely feel like jumping up and down to this one.

Worship:

• "Glorious God" by New Life Worship - I really like this tune. It's got a cool guitar riff and has kind of a moody, emotional sound to it. But I love how it builds into the chorus. It's definitely a moving song.
  
• "Almighty God" by Tim Hughes - one of regular songs by the one and only Tim Hughes!
  
• "Hallelujah to my King" by Paul Baloche - We played one of Paul's other tunes "Our God Saves" a few weeks ago. This tune is slower and more reflective. It has a hymn feel to it but it's definitely modern stylistically.
  

Offering:

• "Living for your Glory" by Tim Hughes - Imagine that. I picked another Tim Hughes song. My wife really loves this song but it's entirely WAY too high for the church. It has a great message about our calling in life...to bring God the glory.
