Sunday Set List Review | 04.25.10

It has been a couple weeks since I posted a Set List Review. Last week, as you probably know, I was in Stockholm leading worship at Hillsong. It is great to be home and back with my church family.

The worship this weekend was really special.  We changed up the instrumentation by adding a violin, mandolin and percussion.  It gave a different feel to our normal rock-oriented worship.  I felt like God revealed himself in a sweet yet powerful way.  As it turned out, the entire worship package centered around the names of God.  Even during the 9 AM service as Pastor Todd prayed over the people, there was the recounting of the God’s names.  I just believe that God loves when we sing and speak His name.  It was awesome.

So, here are the songs that we sang.  We started with Hillsong’s “For Who You Are” as the link-up song between all the campuses.   This is always a congregational favorite.  After a time of welcome from Pastor Todd, we went into Paul Baloche and Brenton Brown’s “Rock of Ages You Will Stand”.  This is a cool take on the old gospel song “Rock of Ages”.  It sounded stellar with the mandolin and violin carrying the hook.  From there, I took a little time to pray and exhort and then into “Your Name” by Paul Baloche and Glenn Packiam.  What a fantastic song.  I split the vocal leadership on this song with Belinda Telemague, who just knows how to lead people in worship.  From here we went into Charlie Hall’s arrangement of “How Great Thou Art”

The highlight of the musical side of worship was our offering moment.  We did a song called “Names of God” by Laurell Hubick.  I had never heard this song until one of the ladies from our dance ministry brought it to me.  Let me just say, it was powerful.  Kristin Neumann started the moment with an awesome scripture monologue, Ansley Kicklighter did an amazing job singing the song, Emily Baird and Novik Inge Hier created a beautiful choreographed dance piece to go along with it, Peter Licata from our creative media team created a great video piece for it and then the simplicity of the piano, violin and percussion created a perfect setting for the song.  I posted a video so you can see it.

Well, that was the set list.  I have included links on Amazon so that you can add the music to your own personal worship play list.  Thanks for taking a look at this post.  Check out theWorshipCommunity site and the Sunday Set List blog to see what other leaders are doing around the globe.
