Sunday Set List - “MTV Day”

Tagged Under : , , , , , , ,

Last week I mentioned MTV would be in our Sunday service filming a for a follow-up episode of Made. It was just a single camera man so there wasn’t a huge footprint, he did well to blend into the congregation and not be a distraction. So much so I had no idea he was filming me right behind me during worship and I did kind of a hop back jam move and almost crashed into him. There’s no more dangerous place to be than around me when I choose to dance.

We didn’t really do anything different in preparation this week besides having designated a “Producer” for the service, but that decision was already made before the MTV thing came around. Service was packed out and everyone seemed really engaged. I tweeted after worship service that the fact that service was packed out was encouraging in one sense and convicting in a few others. I think I’m going to withold my reaction to that fact until after next week. In any case I’m so thankful God showed grace and Mark our producer showed excellence and really the service could not have gone any better. I don’t think we’ve ever pulled off a service without 1 technical issue of some kind, but really I can’t think of much of anything we could have done better. So for that I’m extremely thankful and excited about the salvations that occured and the powerful move of the Spirit in that service. Thank you Jesus!

I’ll have video of it posted in the next few days. Onto the worship set…

  1. We Cry Out - Brian and Jenn Johnson, Kim Walker arrangement (loop available)
  2. Rain Down - Delirious (loop used, not yet published)
  3. How I Live - Kyle Campos (original, loop used, not yet published)
  4. My Jesus I Love Thee
  5. Who You Are - Desperation Band (loop used, not yet published)

I’ve had some emails from people asking for certain loops that I’ve used but not yet published on the site. The reason that I haven’t published some is that I still am modifying them and I’m not yet satisfied with it as a finished product. If you are interested in getting an early release of them just email me and I’ll send it to you.

Loop available: “We Cry Out” by Brian and Jenn Johnson/Kim Walker

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

We Cry Out was written by Brian and Jenn Johnson but made popular by Kim Walker’s performance. This loop follows the arrangement that Kim Walker used, same key as well. It’s a great song that is mostly guitars and rhythm. So the loop uses a mellow pad through the song with a rhythm element and a few other rhythmic synth elements. It’s a pretty mellow loop that lets the guitars shine through.

Song: We Cry Out by Kim Walker, We Cry Out (album)
Key: D#m
Bpm: 122
Intro: 4 bar click in w/drums (guitar riff starts on measure 5 in other words)

Sunday Set List - “Dress Us Up” debut

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

I didn’t feel great about the set going into Sunday, kept making changes, it just didn’t feel connected. For all the spiritual people out there when I say it didn’t feel connected I mean, I didn’t have peace about it. Musically the set went over fine, there seemed to be a general laziness and depression in the church. Maybe it’s everyone’s finances, I don’t know, but we have to focus on this during our prayer before service. I also was nervous about a tough meeting I had after service, so that was weighing on me as well.

Anyhow this was the debut for John Mark’s new song Dress Us Up. It went over like a new song typically goes over, so we’ll give it a couple more weeks and see how people pick it up.

  1. We Cry Out - Brian and Jenn Johnson, Kim Walker arrangement (loop not yet posted)
  2. Dress Us Up - John Mark McMillan
  3. How Great Is Our God - Chris Tomlin
  4. Ready Now - Desperation Band (listen/download loop)
  5. Prepare the Way - Charlie Hall

Sunday Set List - Merchant Band makes an appearance

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

We at LCC are smack dab in the middle of our series on Worship Culture and unlike many sermons on worship which target postures, we’ve spent zero time on that topic. But as the congregation is getting taught on redeemed worship and dealing with our idolatry the response and engagement in the music portion of worship has grown. This series is fundamental to our maturity as a church and I think to this point people are really grabbing onto it. We were packed out today with a quite a few families missing, so we really need to add another service quick.

I finally got the loop done to a point that was performable for “You Love Me Forever” by the Merchant Band. I’ve had this song in the queue for quite some time but just hadn’t had the time to finish it. Still a lot of room for improvement in the loop so I won’t post it yet, but we pulled it off and I thought it sounded great.
