The worship service went well this morning.
On the music side I was very pleased. With the exception of our tempo was a bit too fast for He Is Yahweh (probably unnoticed by congregation), the team played and sang well especially on our new song. Congregational singing was strong on all the songs except our new one, Not of Our Hands, which is why we will run it the next two Sundays. It’s not actually a new song, but is the result of reviewing a Vineyard Compilation CD that Pastor Mark got me last fall when I was lamenting finding new songs worth singing. I’ve been waiting to do it for months. It’s a great upbeat Holy Spirit song that reminds us it’s not about doing everything in our own strength but empowered instead by the Holy Spirit. It certainly speaks to me, and I’m confident it will grow on the congregation.
This was the first time I led Jesus Messiah; we were slow to get it into the mix. I enjoyed doing it so much on the bass because its lyrics are so strong and its engaging to play, so I decided to learn it on the guitar as well. The congregation has responded well to it.

Was doing a Google search on I Cannot Ignore and stumbled across this. I am glad it is still be used. I didn't know. I composed it in 2000. Simple blessing to find it here being used in 11.
