Worship Confessional 3.23.08
We had a wonderful Resurrection Day Celebration and now that the big push is all over I’m content and satisfied that it went so well. During the Call to Worship our childrens choir joined us. They’d been practicing since January and I was tickled at how they have improved their sound. Just starting to get that classic children’s choir sound.

Majestic [G] Lincoln Brewster ccli 4573308 chords
We’d been working on this one for quite some time and really wanted it to come off right. It worked great and the children really sang out on the second part of the bridge where it jumps an octave and crescendos with “We will worship You!”
Agnus Dei [G] Michael W. Smith ccli 626713 chords
This is a standard in our repertoire. Always sounds great and the team was right on in the pauses between the verses and chorus.
Behold the Lamb of God [F] Andrew Peterson ccli 4618782 chords
Brian sang the lead and was wonderful in spite of the 102 fever he was battling. We’ve all started taking turns with this flu thing that’s been going around. I knew how he was feeling because I had it before him. Pretty yuchy
Resurrection Day [C] Matt Maher ccli 4618782 chords
A new song for us… so full of joy and celebration. We only worked on it for a couple of weeks and really could use the lead guitar was missing but all in all it went well and the congregation loved it.
Message
Communion

Beautiful Wounds [C] Joe Beck, Wendy Willis ccli 4611521 chords
Another song we use fairly regularly because it works great for communion. And because the message emphasized that we have no need to fear as a result of the resurrection it was perfect for the set. This one is always a little difficult for us and I always feel like we could get more solid on the timing but still awesome.
Surrender [E] Marc James ccli 3033179 chords
We did Surrender a last Friday night at a special worship thing we did for another church here in town. They were celebrating their 2 year anniversary and had invited us to come lead some worship. So, this was only our second time doing Surrender. I totally lost it on the intro. I don’t know what happened but somewhere between my brain and my left hand there was a total block. I flubbed the chords through the whole intro. I could have stopped and restarted but by the time we got through it … well, I just kept going.
Offering and Response
-
Jesus the Righteous One [C] Dan Marcs ccli 2882905 chords
On the Third Day [C] Matt Maher/ Mark Byrd ccli 4724023chords
We had intended to do a reprise of Resurrection Day after this song but the crowd really went into full praises during this one. Pastor had taught long and we had gone more than 10 minutes over and had decided to end the service. It was perfect! Yes, “Everything must die to Rise Again”!!! and we all responded with great joy and celebration of our risen Savior and King.

“Surrender” I use it often, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ve learned it wrong, because the congregation gets thrown off on my verse…. I’ve never heard the recorded version.
“Jesus the Righteous One” I LOVE THIS SONG. I play it all the time in D.
Do you ever get “stuck?” in picking songs… like drawing blanks? It’s happened to me a lot lately.
Weird.

If I think you are saying what I think you are saying, yep, I “draw blanks” when I’ve got too much on my mind and I’m stressing… A good sign for me to slow down and rest in the Lord more.
