Sunday Setlist… July 11, 2010
It was good to be back in church yesterday for the first time in three weeks! Two weeks ago, I was home with my sick daughter. Then last week, she was in the hospital. So as you can imagine, it was nice for us all to go to church again…
This Sunday, we kicked off the the last sermon series in our rented facility. Now there are only two more weeks at Maize South! Then it’s on to GracePoint’s permanant facility! So exciting!
The Setlist:
- Give A Little Bit - Goo Goo Dolls version (walk-in)
- Awakening - Switchfoot
- Broadcast - Fee
- God of This City - Chris Tomlin version
- Revelation Song - Jesus Culture version
- Love Revolution - Lenny Kravtiz (offering)
Give A Little Bit is a song we learned last year for a series on Giving. Very fun song, but it’s got a ton of different sections which makes it kind of tricky. Gil did a great job on the vocals.
Awakening used to be in pretty regular rotation but we haven’t played it in a while. Great song!
Broadcast … I’ve always thought of this as just a fun, upbeat, get-your-blood-pumping song. However, the lyrics jumped out at me this week (perhaps based on some new perspective in life…) The verses are really powerful. For example, “I know a name that is higher than any name.”
God of This City … speaking of powerful lyrics… Don’t tell anyone, but I leaked a few tears when I heard Carmen sing this at practice Saturday. In case you don’t know, “there is no one like our God”. If you’re not familiar with the story behind this song, I’d encourage you to read this blog post about God of This City.
Revelation Song is such an awesome, powerful song. Not much else I can say…
Love Revolution was the only new song in the set. A very cool, funky song with great lyrics. Tommy did a great job on the guitar solo.
The band: Carmen - vocals, Gil - vocals, Chris - drums, Carlos - bass, Tommy - lead guitar, Rod - keys

I know y’all do a lot of secular songs, something I’m still weighing in my spirit to do or not to do at my church. However, I will ask when y’all do do them, do y’all put the lyrics on the screen too? Or just do them for impact rather than congregational singing?
Great question Kevin! It depends. We never display lyrics for the walk-in song (before the service starts) which is where most secular songs show up. If we do it “during” the service, we’ll show the lyrics. Typically, it would be either during the offering or occasionally to set up the message. With a few exceptions, they’re never really intended for “congregational singing”. Just for impact…
That helps a lot. Thanks for your response!
