It was a great Sunday to worship the Lord together with my brothers and sisters.
I opened our singing time of worship with a flat picking pattern on my acoustic guitar for the first verse of Before the Throne. The congregation’s voice was strong and clear and set the tone for the entire set. It is such a blessing to have a singing congregation.
I have gotten great feedback on Blessings. I believe God is really using it to minister to many in our midst who are really struggling. I have found it quite challenging to lead on the guitar (it’s really a piano song). It requires a lot of practice and my total concentration to do a credible job, but it is worth the effort.
This was our second week with Father Forgive Us, and the congregation’s response showed marked improvement; I can tell this song is going to be a keeper. Bold, hard-hitting, biblical lyrics and engaging to play and sing. It’s a great reminder of what I’m supposed to be about; definitely my kind of song. (My complete notes on this new song are here.)
