Sunday Setlist - 19th August 2012

I almost did not write this blog. The thing is Sunday's musical aspect of the service was  . . . ok. It was nothing spectacular, it was just mediocre (in my opinion). However, thinking about it, I decided that it would be less-authentic of me if I did not publish or write this blog. Why should I try to project and 'image' where everything is sparkling and successful? Often it isn't. Often it is a lot of hard work. And often things don't quite work the way I think they should.

There were a few challenges to face this week. Being the summer holidays here in the UK quite a few musicians and singers were away on holiday. In fact I had only just arrived back from a holiday myself a few days before the service. So we were quite thin on the ground - only one acoustic guitar, one electric guitar and a violin. An interesting combination of instruments to work with to say the least!

Anyway, despite the challenges, the congregation were mostly engaged, but from my point of view it was quite difficult from my perspective to get a good blend of sound and a smooth flow of worship. But having said all this, here is the list:

The List:
1. King of Wonders - Paul Baloche, Steven Curtis Chapman, Stuart Garrard, Israel Houghton, Tim Hughes, Graham Kendrick, Andy Park, Matt Redman, Martin Smith, Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin, Darlene Zschech (CompassionArt)
2. Jesus You Are Mercy - Brenton Brown, Don Williams
3. Here I Am (Majesty) - Stuart Garrard, Martin Smith (Delirious?)
4. Humble Heart - Matt McChlery Listen to song here
5. Mighty To Save - Reuben Morgan, Ben Fielding (Hillsong)
6. Great IsYour Faithfulness (Unchanging) - Chris Tomlin (Passion)
