Lists like the Top 100 or Top 25 worship songs are helpful when you’re looking for charts in a hurry and don’t know where to look. Plus, I’m always excited to read these lists and find that worship around the world is following a theme or how God is ministering along the same lines to churches at home and abroad.

Another thing I noticed is the first sixteen songs on the top 100 list at ccli are songs we do regularly at CCPV. And, I’m familiar enough to play by heart 77 out of top 100 songs.
We’d planned to continue the Resurrection Day celebrations this week but I have to be honest it was difficult to get my eyes off the numbers and on to the Savior… at least for the first few minutes.
Did your church get a “let down” after your big Easter Celebrations? Everyone and their distant cousins show up for Easter, packing the house, then the very next week we’re half full. Where’d everybody go? Pastor mentions during his Easter message that every Sunday is a Resurrection Celebration but hardly anyone shows up to celebrate. UGH! Still, I’m so thankful for those who “get it” ‘cuz they help make me keep on keepin’ on, and of course, I’m thankful for our ever-faithful Lord who gives it all purpose and meaning.
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.
Sunday 3.23.08
Call to Worship
Video - Sunday’s Coming!
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.
If you live in California, be sure to set your clocks forward one hour before you hit the pillow on Saturday March 8, 2008 or you will be late for church Sunday morning.
I wake up every morning with a song in my head. It usually lasts all day and sometimes for several days, even weeks. I’ve had Behold the Lamb of God by Andrew Peterson going round and round for the last few weeks because we’ll be doing it for Easter Service this year. It’s a great song and musically challenging with 2 modulations.
So what’s going round in your head today? Tell me all about it!!!
I just realized that I missed posting the confessional for the Sunday Evening Reflection Service on the 17th. I don’t want to miss this one because we had a very special guest. David Paul Regier from Southwest Christian Church in Temecula. For some reason I was sure I posted this one but.. oh well, here goes.
The topic was Exodus 18:13-27. David was so sensitive to the message and we enjoyed great fellowship in God’s Word.
David’s gifts are very evident and the anointing of the Lord upon him was revealed not only in the songs but in his passion for God and His people as he shared his insight to the verses with us.
It’s funny how quickly I can forget that leading worship is such an awesome thing. I am so privileged to be allowed to know the presence of God and see His awesome love poured out on thirsty souls.
This Sunday was especially sobering for me, you see, I was reminded of an article I posted several months back that addressed the topic of Shepherds and Hirelings. It was the Lord that brought it to my attention as I arrived at the church and thought to myself,… “if this were a paying job I’d of quit a long time ago.” Mind you, this was a total relaps of complete carnality as I mumbled something about how I could have stayed in bed and dreamed my morning away,…. you get the picture.
Anyways, I just had one of those times when God turns my face toward His and smiles while telling me to rest and trust in Him. So, after a sobering prayer of brokenness and repentance I scampered off to stand before the congregation and appreciate God’s deep, deep love for me as we sang, Empty Me and You Are My All In All.
Another Sunday has passed and we enjoyed a wonderful Sunday Evening Reflection Service. The topic was Exodus 18:1-12. The Devotion was on verse 11. The speaker pointed out that the Lord had been ministering to him on how He is greater than all gods, and it started with the video that played before the first worship song that morning. If you’ve never heard/seen the sermon by Dr. Meshach Shadrach Lockridge you are missing a really big blessing. Dr. Lockridge proclaims the wonder and greatness of His King and it is so powerful that you can’t watch it without being moved.
Anyway, we heard about the greatness of God and then we had some wonderful discussion and open prayer at our tables about it. Michael Preciado from Calvary Chapel Hemet led the worship time and once again the Lord prepared the perfect songs for us. Michael is so anointed, our worship time was enveloped with God’s presence.
I discovered that, personally, the Lord had been ministering to me the meaning of Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus for the last couple of weeks and I had used the chorus by that name on last Wednesday and Sunday evenings. Oh, how I needed those words in my life this week. Then, wouldn’t you know it, Michael chooses to share the chorus with us too. God speaks so clearly to me it’s a wonder when I miss what He is saying. These Reflection times have been so refreshing I look forward to next week with great anticipation.

Be sure to watch the rest of the videos of the making of the Honda Civic Choir TV and see why I learned so much. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Today I want to look at Teamwork. Teamwork can be defined as the cooperative effort of a team of people for a common end. It implies that each person on the team is doing their part to fulfill the purpose or task given them to do. (Eph. 4:6)
As I watched the videos I considered that there were many parts to the choir. Guy parts, girl parts, and parts within the parts.. (parts are parts) Then, there are the parts of directors, writers, orchestra musicians and parts within the orchestra and so on. Everyone doing their part well made the outcome something that sold others on the idea that driving a Honda Civic would be an exhilarating experience. Didn’t you want to go for a ride?
To lead others into worship takes teamwork. Another definition of teamwork is; joint action by a group of people, in which individual interests are subordinated to group unity and efficiency; coordinated effort.
I cant tell you how many times I hear of musicians and vocalists who have temper tantrums because they don’t get what they want when it comes to being on a team. They don’t want to work together. Their interests have nothing to do with leading people into the presence of God. Their interest lies in serving their own egos. (Phil. 2:4)
I had someone say to me once, “When do I get to sing the songs I want to sing?” Another time a bass player moaned about not getting to “play it his way” and guitarists complaining about “not getting used.” Sound familiar?
Finally, every team needs a leader. Without someone pointing the way how will the team know where to go? (1 Chronicles 16:4-6)
Lesson learned today: Know what part you play on the team and be excellent at it. Lay down your individual interests and seek unity.
I just received my latest Musicacemy Newsletter and got busy right away looking at their new DVD’s and reading their articles.
There’s something to be said about experience. Especially the experience of others. After all, isn’t that why the www has so much going for it? I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learned since the world of internet learning has become available. Learning from someone who really knows what they’re doing can speed up the time it takes to get proficient. That’s whats great about musicademy. Experienced worshippers and musicians coming together to make our learning fun and fast. Be sure to check out their new Worship Bass learners DVD’s, I think I’ll be getting the beginners set asap.
Also, enter their competition for a chance to win 5 free song learners downloads.
This is the first a several posts I hope to write over the next few weeks on Worship Team Leadership and Team-Work. I was inspired by the following videos. Be sure to watch all four of the videos of The Making of the Honda Civic Choir TV Ad and see why I learned so much.
I hope you enjoy the videos and that you, too, will glean some good worship team building tools for your ministry.
Leading a choir or worship team can be as simple or complex as we choose. The final product usually reflects which. We get out what we put in.
While watching the Honda Civic Choir prepare for the TV ad I was challenged and reminded about many things. The first was being organized or “having my ducks in a row.”
Having a plan and preparation makes things so much easier, don’t you think? After all, our perfect example, The Almighty Creator, had a plan from before there was time, didn’t He? (Matthew 25:34) So we would be wise to follow His example.
Before we introduce a new song to our teams and choirs, before we have our first meeting for the “Big Holiday Production,” before we practice or rehearse we should prepare.
The Honda Choir didn’t just come together like the Big Bang Theory. Someone had a vision and communicated it to a team of folks who would help him fulfill that vision. You can see how the planning team hashed out what they wanted and each one understood the direction and expectations for the final outcome.
So, my first lesson taught me to go back and rethink how I prepare before events, services and practices. Make sure I’ve thought through all aspects and have communicated with my pastor and staff involved when needed. Get my plan on paper or do my homework, be sure everything is ready for the team or choir so they can do their part to fulfill the plan. That means making sure the music is ready, (one of my weak areas), in the right key for each musician, etc.. I love the Planning Center because it helps me in these areas.
There you have my first thoughts… until my next post, blessings!
This week we introduced Everlasting God by Brenton Brown. I have to admit I was a bit shakey on this one since I was having trouble playing the guitar progression. I practiced it until even the dog was tired of it… (I exaggerate of course)
I’ve never considered myself a guitar player. I started playing when I was eight because I wanted to have an instrument to back up my greater joy, singing. It’s always been harder for me to play the guitar well than to sing well. I have very small hands and I’m not very coordinated so it takes me a long time to learn new guitar skills. Even then, I don’t have great guitar skills at things I’ve been doing since I was eight. Playing the opening progression on Everlasting God proved to be a great challenge.
I made a couple of flubs but all in all it went well and I’m satisfied, considering. I intend to improve on this one over then next few weeks and hopefully be proficient at it to the point of not having to “think” about what I’m doing so much that I’m not worshipping.
