Week of 11/17/2008

This weekend for me was a humbling and quite honestly a bitter time for me. I was reminded again of how little I can do and how weak I really am. It was sobering to see how powerless we are to change the hearts of our fellow man and that power really resides with God. That despite the clearest arguments and the strongest of feelings for those that I love, I am unable to turn hearts towards God on my own. Changing hearts is God's work through His people. Yea, I'm not the best at organizing my thoughts at 4am but I did what I could. I picked out this set with this on my heart as well as the fact that this is the last large group before Thanksgiving. Through praise I hope that the power of the Gospel would be magnified, in both what it enables us to do and what it reminds us we cannot do, and also to recognize how much we have to be thankful for.

The first song this week is old and I don't have mp3 of it.

Worthy is the Lamb

To Know Your Name - Hillsong - Saviour King


Let My Words Be Few - Matt Redman - The Father's Song


When I Think About the Lord - Shane & Shane - Carry Away


Just a note, format is "Title of song" - "Artist name" - "Album name" so you guys can find the songs to download easier.

It's been a while

I'm still alive and posting. Sorry about the site not working for a while. No idea what happened but its working again. No large group this week so no set. Instead I'll post a song that I'm learning to play for my youth group lockin over thanksgiving break.

Your Name High - Hillsong



Its a fun song, I think. Anyway I just started a book, Worship Matters by Bob Kauflin. I'm only a couple pages in but its really good and definitely helps give perspective and insight as a worship leader. I'll add more about the book as I read more. Well, enjoy the new song and the rainy weekend =).
