Sunday Setlist… April 18, 2010
Hmm… How to describe this morning? The phrase that comes to mind is “supreme awesomeness”, but I’m not certain that’s proper english. Oh well, I’m a blogger not a literary novelist.
Today was week 2 of the Modern Family series at GracePoint. Mike delivered a great message about families while looking a lot like Vince, the guy that tries to sell you the ShamWow and SlapChop. (On a side note… if you haven’t seen the Slap Chop Rap, it’s pretty funny…)
Where was I… Oh, yes… supreme awesomeness. We saw God move in a mighty way today, and it began with the music. You could really tell that the band was worshipping, and really drawing in the people to join in worshipping with them. In the second service, everyone kept playing on How He Loves because everyone felt like God wasn’t done with it yet. There was no cue or signal to keep playing, but everyone did. And Carmen delivered a powerful word from God for all of us. Good stuff!
The music!
- Liquid by Jars of Clay (walk-in)
- Today is the Day by Lincoln Brewster
- Holding Nothing Back by Jesus Culture
- Word of God Speak by Kutless
- How He Loves by Jesus Culture
- Home by Daughtry (offering)
Liquid is a song we tried a few years ago, but always in an acoustic setting - never with a full band. It was fun to do it again this morning. I hadn’t pulled out my acoustic mandolin on a Sunday in quite a while, so it was great to play it again even if it did feel a little foreign. I hope everyone could the Gregorian chant sounding stuff that Rod was doing.
Today is the Day is a new one for GP, although I know a lot of other churches are using it. People seemed to really respond to it, as did the band. I’ve never really cared for the song, but I’ve go to admit that it’s a lot of fun to play. Especially if you have a guitarist like Tommy who can pull off Lincoln Brewster’s guitar solos.
Holding Nothing Back is an awesome song by the good folks at Jesus Culture. This is probably the third or fourth time we’ve used it.
Word of God Speak always seems to resonate with people. Powerful, powerful song!
How He Loves … on the Jesus Culture recording, this is a 9:00 track. I never really understood why until this morning. The lyrics and message of God’s love really hit home with people. We got to witness the Lord ministering to people through Carmen this morning. We’re so blessed to have her as part of the team!
Home … without actually checking, I think it’s been quite a while since we’ve used this one on Sunday mornings. We decided to do the acoustic version, rather than the full band studio version. Just acoustic guitar, strings (via Rod’s keyboard awesomeness), and lead vocal. Guys, it was absolutely incredible!
The band: Carmen - vocals, Thomas - vocals, Gil - vocals and bass, Tommy - electric and acoustic guitar, Rod - keys, Denny - drums, Me - acoustic mandolin and electric guitar.

Yeah I gotta say that was awesome! What a great worship experience this morning.. It was great to have an acoustic arrangement for the offering song for a good change. The next acoustic or piano song Id recommend “amazing love” . Everybody loves that one too and it never gets old! Also must say that Tommy has fabulous taste in guitars….
I was wondering about the “How he Loves” thing. I thought that I had missed a meeting somewhere so that is really cool to know that it was totally unplanned. Great day and with the Lincoln song under our belt….time for another one.
Ronnie - you spend a lot of time praising others efforts on Sunday morning - thought I would mention the fact that the mando part on Liquid was perfect!
Thanks Punky!
Yeah, I agree with Punky!!
Doesn’t anybody use their real name around here?
Nope!
