From the Mind of MandoRon

This post is part of the Sunday Setlist Extravaganza over at TheWorshipCommunity.com.

We wrapped up the “Now is the Time” series today at GracePoint.

The setlist:

• All Fired Up by Pat Benatar (walk-in)
• Never Going Back to OK by The Afters
• Let God Arise by Chris Tomlin
• Amazing Grace
• If We Are the Body by Casting Crowns
• The Lost Get Found by Britt Nicole (offering)

All Fired Up was a great way to get people, ahem, all fired up… 

Never Going Back to OK is one we hadn’t done in a while.  Not my favorite song in the world, but I thought it would fit the “Now Is the Time” theme well.

Let God Arise accidentally showed up two weeks in a row.  Oh well.  Good song!

Amazing Grace … Christina has been wanting to do this traditional hymn “House of the Rising Sun”-style for a while now.  It was our own arrangement:  two verses, guitar solo, two more verses, organ solo, repeat first verse.  I thought it turned our pretty well.

If We Are the Body fit in with Bryson’s message about “the harvest” today.  Great lyrics.

The Lost Get Found was a new one for us, and continued our (my?) occasional experimentation with pop songs.  I thought it sounded really good.  And it tied in perfectly after Bryson’s message.

The band:  vocals - Christina and Thomas, drums - Chris, keys - Rod, electric guitar - Bruce, bass - Eron.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new songs today.  Leave a comment!
