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 [...]
