Sunday Set List: “With no drummer, we went Mumford”

Faced with the reality of having no drummer this past service we were forced to come up with some creative arrangements and new feels for songs. It was actually really fun, albeit a lot of work, to do. We ended up going with 2 different feels inside the set, 2 of the songs we played [...]

Sunday Set List: “It is finished…door open”

I’ve never seen a group of volunteers work so hard and selflessly for an Easter service in my life. The folks in my band are just nuts talented but I promise you this, I admire most their devotion to Jesus and His church. There were so many components to this service, and so many humble [...]

Sunday Set List: “Open our eyes…”

What an incredible day of response and engagement. It’s been a good while since we’ve had this level of passionate engagement across the entire church during worship. I was incredible blessed to be part of it and have a great view of the church worshipping Jesus in unity. We closed with Hillson’g “With Everything” which [...]

Sunday Set List: An old Vineyard song gets the re-arranged loop treatment

We started our new series on 1 John this week and I had direction from my pastor that we needed to sing about wanting to “know God.” That is of course a big topic and I think all our songs fall under that umbrella, but I needed a song that used that phrase. I thought [...]

Sunday Set List: Rough practices can be the best thing for us

This past Sunday we spent almost all of our pre-service practice time on a new arrangement for Nothing But the Blood and The Great God, leaving 3 songs basically ignored. That’s not something I’m comfortable with doing at all. The arrangement for Nothing But the Blood came out great, I was really pleased how it [...]

Sunday Set List: “Take the world, but give me Jesus”

One of my favorite modern hymn records is Ascend the Hill’s – Take the World but Give Me Jesus. Two incredible arrangements in particular have really moved me and that’s How Great Thou Art and the song Take the World But Give Me Jesus (original hymn title Give Me Jesus). We introduced their arrangement of [...]

Sunday Set List: “Mayday…we have no songs about thankfulness”

Got a call from my pastor and he said, “I’m talking about thankfulness, I want to do a longer time of response so get some tunes that talk about thankfulness.” Seemed like a simple enough task, I was sure there were a ton of songs we sing about thankfulness. So I start going through our [...]

Sunday Set List: “We ask great things of a great great God”

This set marks the 3rd time we’ve done an original of mine called The Great God. It’s part of a songwriting/record project I’m doing of putting music around some of the Puritan prayers that have impacted our congregation greatly. For the past few months we’ve been doing these creative instrumentals around readings of these prayers [...]
