Marcus Lynn’s adventures in life and ministry
Like last week’s inspiration, this is a new song that I just heard. I think the music is good…but the message again, broke me. So watch (the video is well done) but more importantly, listen to the words. And tell me what you think. Would this be a good song to learn at your church? Why or why not?
Here’s today’s set list of music at the Awakening Service at FCC. This will be linked to Fred McKinnon’s blog where other worship bloggers post their setlists.
Here’s what we did:
Your Grace is Enough
Alive Again (New song for us by Matt Maher…check out what I have to say aboutt his song HERE)
My Savior, My God
Message: Building Your Life On A Solid Foundation
(during communion) Beautiful the Blood
Glorify Your Name
Alive Again (we normally do a new song twice the first week to learn it)
Let The Praises Ring (Closing) (The band is tired of this song…we’re moving it to the infrequent song list)
It’s not often that I hear a song the first time and I am competely moved. Normally I like the music or some lyric and want to listen again. But recently I heard a song that just broke me. I was in my office and I got a link to listen to this new song from an online worship organization. When I say it broke me, I mean to say that I found myself on my knees worshipping God as tears we’re coming down my face. For some reason, this song just spoke to my soul and gave me words in which to worship. I thought to myself, “I would love to do this with our worship band…but it breaks so many of my ‘corporate worship song rules.’” So I put it out of my mind until 2 days later when Jennifer called me while she was driving. She had just heard this new song on the radio and she said, “I’ve got a new song for the band to do.” Now you have to understand that my wife rarely asks for or suggests new songs for us (this was probably the second time in many years). I said, “OK…what is it?” She said, “Not sure what it’s called but it goes like this….(and she began to sing the song that I had just fallen in love with a few days before).”
So I decided to break my “worship rules” and have the band learn it. We messed around with it Wednesday…and oh man we loved it. So I am pumped to see how others respond this coming Sunday when we teach it to the congregation. In the meantime, below is a video of the song and the bottom one is Matt Maher’s video on what inspired him to write it.

Here’s what we did:
I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever (the theme this morning was “God is Love” so how could we avoid singing this classic worship song)
From the Inside Out
All Because of Jesus (normally our song order goes from faster to slower tempo but lately I’ve enjoyed changing things up and not doing what has been expected)
Message: God Is Love
(during communion) How He Loves
Glorious One
Happy Day (Closing)

Here’s what we did:

Marvelous Light
God of This City
Hallelujah Jesus

(during communion) Your name
You Lifted Me Out (Closing)

Here’s what we did:
Greg, our worship leader, had the flu…which means we had to make drastic last minute changes. Fortunately we have an incredible team and Brandon, who normally plays drums for us is able to step up and lead from guitar…but then we don’t have a drummer. But that’s OK…worship can still happen without drums!
So our song list was cut by a song and we had to go a little more “old school” than usual. But the Spirit still moved.
Beautiful One
Jesus Messiah
I Will Rise
