Sunday Setlist… August 8, 2010
“Praise the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, just as he promised.” - 1 Kings 8:56 (part of Solomon’s dedication of the temple)
Just as God gave rest to the people of Israel, the people of GracePoint gained a little rest today too. After 6 1/2 years of portable church, we held our first services in our first permenant home in the old Cinemas West building at Central & Tyler! It was a very exciting day. Both services were packed! I can’t imagine what the “official grand opening” will be like on August 22!
The buzz of energy in the air was incredible.
And it was awesome to not have to rush around and pack everything up afterwards…
Carmen and Gil did a phenomenal job of leading worship. And the music was awesome!
- We Weren’t Born to Follow by Bon Jovi (walk-in and exit)
- Break Free by Hillsong United
- We Shine by Fee
- Hold You High by By the Tree
- Revelation Song, Jesus Culture version
- Heaven is Here by Jesus Culture (offering)
We Weren’t Born to Follow was a new one for us. It was a fun song to kick things off.
Break Free … Carmen did an awesome job of kicking off the worship set with this song. Today was probably the most engaging that I’ve ever seen her.
We Shine is a great song by Fee that we’ve been using for several years. I always love it when Gil yells at “YEA!” at the end.
Hold You High is another one that has been around for a few years. Interestingly, we’ve frequently used this song to kick off the worship with a lot of energy; but today, we used it to start slowing things down.
Revelation Song … All I can say is WOW! Carmen shared a brief testimony before the song began about a recent experience of singing this song on a retreat. Very powerful! It was great to hear everyone singing along with her.
Heaven is Here is a song that I’m still trying to figure out. I love the music. I love the melody. I love to hear Carmen sing it. If it wasn’t for the lyrics in the chorus, it would be one of my favorite songs… Someday it’ll all make sense…
The band: Carmen - vocals, Gil - vocals, Bruce - electric guitar, Rod - keys, Jeff - bass, Deric - drums
A great morning! You should be able to download the worship podcast off of itunes later this week.

The pictures are just amazing. There were quite a few people taking shots through both services and they all look so good. Light in the worship room was very well thought out and put in place!
Agreed. I saw some great pictures on Facebook. Pictures of the people in the lobby were my favorites.
