Sunday Setlist… June 6, 2010
Today was one of those days where I had no official obligations. As much as I love playing, it’s also nice to get to worship with everyone else. The trick though is turning off the leader side of brain so that I stop assessing things and stop making mental notes. I’m usually only moderately successful…
It was also nice to hear people singing along today, even in the considerably smaller first service.
I don’t know if many people noticed, but we didn’t have a bass player this week (meaning bass guitar…). The Newsboys haven’t used a bass player for years, so I figured we could go without one too. Rod covered the bass lines this week on either keytar or keyboard. I haven’t got to ask Rod’s opinion yet, but I thought it worked pretty well although it limited what he could do keys-wise. At times, the sound might have been a little thin though… A second guitarist would have helped fill the occasional void.
The setlist:
- Dig In by Lenny Kravitz (walk-in & exit)
- Until the Whole World Hears by Casting Crowns
- Say Say by Kristian Stanfill
- Finally I Surrender by Misty Edwards
- How He Loves by John Mark McMillan (Jesus Culture version)
- Heaven is Here by Kim Walker-Smith/Jesus Culture (offering)
Dig In is a fun Lenny Kravitz tune that we’ve been doing for years.
Until the Whole World Hears … Cool guitar riffs and some nice acapella at the end. In church-speak, it’s a good “Great Commision” evangelism song.
Say Say is a pretty new one for us - only used it once or twice. Great song.
Finally I Surrender is also relatively new to GracePoint. They lyrics are so powerful. I feel like it’s just me and God when I sing it…
How He Loves … Sometimes God’s love is hard for us to fathom. This song is nice reminder of His infinite love and grace and mercy.
Heaven is Here is a new one for us. It’s off of Jesus Culture’s most recent album, Consumed. We’ve been tossing it around as an idea for a year, or so. I absolutely love the verses and the feel of the song. I honestly struggle with understanding what the chorus has to do with the verses… If someone figures it out, let me know.
The band: Carmen - vocals, Thomas - vocals, Tommy - purple electric guitar, Phil - drums, Rod - keytar and keys
(For those of you who don’t know what a keytar is, check out this picture of Rod’s keys.)
