Sunday Set List: “Whom have I in heaven but you?”

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

I returned this week from our family vacation in California. Stayed for a few days with my brother’s family in my hometown of Santa Barbara CA, then took the family to Disneyland for my son’s birthday. It was awesome and everything I had hoped it would be. Theeeennnnn we got back and let’s just say, the real world set in quickly. One of the roughest weeks I’ve had in a long time. Psalm 73:25-26 ministered to my spirit well:

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

It’s always a challenge to prepare worship for Sunday and not bring in all your issues into the set. You end up picking songs that minister to your situation instead of picking songs that minister to the body and glorify Jesus. I’ve spoken before how being an elder in the church has really helped in leading worship because you’re more aware of the pulse of the congregation and if there are corporate issues. This greatly informs my selection of songs, knowing what our body has to worship through and repent of. That being said, here’s what we sung:

  1. Jesus’ NameRyan Delmore
  2. Gloria 34Taylor Sorensen (loop available)
  3. I Will Trust YouChris Lizotte
  4. Our God ReignsDelirious (loop available)
  5. Reprise (Be Lifted High) – Hillsong United

The set flowed really well I thought. I thought we may be a little out of sync since I missed last week and we hadn’t played for a couple weeks, but the band played really well. I really enjoyed our remix of the “Be Lifted High” reprise, might have to do a little loop to that.
