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: “Take the world, but give me Jesus”

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: “Breaking the worship formula”

The charismatic worship formula is pretty well defined and though we don’t follow it in many ways, we do follow it in at least one way…fast songs first.

The folks that went ran the spectrum of life, from those raised in [...]

Sunday Set List: “Rejoice in all things”

In our Sunday morning prayer, thankfulness was emphasized in a big way. Everyone went around and we just thanked God for everything he’s done in our lives. It was encouraging to hear, to be part of and to let our worship of Jesus being with a thankful heart. Too many times I come complaining, and [...]

Sunday Set List: “The Holy Spirit as our remembrance”

Last week was one of those uneven worship sets where you just feel like it never really flowed well. This week went much better musically and overall flow wise. Corporate engagement was great too as I could tell most everyone was really focused on Jesus and not what was happening on stage. The band was [...]

Sunday Set List: “And then there were 5″

This Sunday we introduced the newest member of Our Rising Sound, Caleb Dailey. Caleb will be doing guitar work and hopefully become a utility guy. It was nice to have a second guitar player to take some of the responsibility off me. I’m very accustom to playing in 3 piece bands as the only guitarist [...]
