1. My Savior Lives (New Life Worship) – Had a different drummer this week, but everything went well. Good job Jamie!!! This is a great song and we have done it A LOT!!!!! I am ready to archive it though……
2. Our God Saves (Baloche) – I was concerned about the tempo on this one because during sound check it was up and down…… but it really flowed well during worship! The anointing makes a HUGE difference.
3. From the Inside Out (Hillsong) – Same thing with this one, tempo was terrible during sound check! I really thought about X’ing this one, but it really went well during worship. Glad we did it!
**We normally use a click, but we didn’t have it this week because Lee (drummer) had the week off.**
1. You, You Are God (Gateway) – I think it’s about time to put this one away for awhile. Great song, but we have been doing it for a few years now…. time to move on.
2. Let God Arise (Chris Tomlin) – I’ve done this one before, but never with the whole team. I think it went well! Great energy song!
3. Healer (Mike Guglielmucci) – Great song!
4. There Is A River (Jessie Rodgers) – We did this one during offering, I like to throw this one in from time to time because it’s really a different style for us. Great song!
1. Kingdom Come (Hillsong United) – We begin each week with a 5 min countdown, usually when we start the first song a lot of people aren’t there. We decided to change it up a bit, we started playing the first song with 2 mins left on the countdown to see if it would make everyone realize we were about to start. I think it worked ok, but we had the smallest crowd we have ever had.
2. I Will Boast (Baloche) – This is a great occasional song for us. I think it is a good song, but I think it would get old (very quickly) if we did it a lot. For some reason the click wasn’t working and this song felt like it was in slow motion. I didn’t know the click wasn’t working, but I knew something wasn’t right. Needless to say, I couldn’t end this song quick enough. Wasn’t good!!!
3. Revelation Song (Jenni Riddle) – Great song and it went well!
1. Glorious One (Steve Fee) – It’s been awhile since we have done this one, great song! It went well, just a bit too high for me.
2. Hosanna (Paul Baloche) – Tyler (Vocalist) sings the 1st verse as a solo and for some reason he didn’t start on the right beat of the song. It was like he was singing on the upbeat, so the first part of the song was a bit weird, but it worked out well. Great job Tyler!
3. For Who You Are (Hillsong) – Again, been awhile since we have done this one. Very good song for the people to sing along with.
4. Revelation Song (Jennie Riddle) – This was suppose to be our 4th song, but we didn’t sing it. Here’s why: 1.) My mic was cutting in and out because the battery wasn’t connected good. 2.) I didn’t want to prolong the service because we had another song to sing. 3.) God said don’t do it, enough said!
It felt weird during servie this week. Emma described it last night @ practice like we were in a bubble, people could see us but couldn’t hear us. It was just weird, I can’t really explain it. I have been trying hard to make sure we pick songs that people can connect with and sing along with, but I don’t think it worked this week. Have I mentioned, it just felt weird???
Dallas, Texas – Integrity Music and Gateway Create Publishing announce the worldwide debut CD from worship artist and songwriter Kari Jobe. The self-titled album is scheduled to release February 10.
Jobe, who is a worship pastor at the Dallas/Fort Worth- based Gateway Church, previously appearded on Gateway’s recordings Wake Up The Word and Living For You, which are also available through Integrity.
Raised in a Christian home with a father who was a traveling minister, Kari began singing in church when she was only 3. She remembers her mother playing worship music in the house while growing up and even recalls the constant tug inside her toward worship. ”I remember hearing a worship song that applied perfectly to a family that I knew and I knew then that I wanted to write songs like that for hurting people… songs that someone could speak to the Lord when they can’t find the words.”
The album Kari Jobe features new versions of the popular “Revelation Song,” “No Sweeter Name” and “My Beloved” in addition to new songs of worship birthed from her life and journals. The deeply personal “You Are For Me” is one of Kari’s favorites. ”This song is gut-wrenching for me. There are times you are so broken that all you can do is sing over yourself with words like, ‘God is for me.’ But I believe it is one song that people can use to remember that God is for us. So who can be against us?”
“This album is about hope and life,”says Jobe. ”It’s about lifting the broken off the floor and singing love over them.”
Whether leading worship before thousands at Gateway or in intimate settings around the country, Jobe says the work of ministry always comes back to people. ”I am moved by people’s lives and stories, and I am amazed by who God is and who He says that we are. Music becomes a way to minister to people in times of trouble, to lead them to the feet of Jesus who can bring peace, life, hope and healing.”
Anyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, a special reception and worship concert to celebrate the release of the album will be held at Gateway Church Southlake Campus Sunday, February 8th @ 6 p.m.
Don’t forget to get your copy February 10th.
Check out the video Integrity and Kari put together:
1. Break Free (Hillsong) – It’s been awhile since we have done this one. I like this song a lot, but I try not to do it much because I don’t feel like it’s a good singable song for the people. (it’s pretty wordy and quick) With that being said, we opened up with it and I think it worked very well, it seemed like it got people focused on worship!
2. Happy Day (Hughes) – Again, been awhile since we have done this one. This song is totally opposite of Break Free, meaning being singable. Great to hear the people singing (very loudly) during this song.
3. Here In Your Presence (New Life Worship) – One of my new favorites!! This song just rocks my socks off! Ha! I honestly think I could sing this song everyday allday. The lyrics just minister to me: “Here in Your presence we are undone. Here in Your presence heaven and earth become one. Here in Your presence all things are new. Here in Your presence everything bows before you.” What an awesome chorus to me because if we can just get in His presence and be completely undone then He has the opportunity to refresh, renew and restore us. (all things are new) Man, I’m getting fired up! Ha! Anyways, great song!
I have the priviledge to teach a team from the church I grew up in on Tuesday nights. I taught them “Our God Saves” last night and told them I would post the video on my blog for them to listen to.
So here is the video for my Dilworth Team, enjoy!!!
