being a worship leader means picking some songs :3

This song has been speaking to me lately and I am totally going to do it at the retreat!!! I have about 10 songs picked out, most of which I know pretty well. This is the unofficial list so far. I want to have between 10 and 15 songs and I can think of more I'd like to do but I'm trying to wait til I know who all is going to be on the worship ( Read more... )

jcf, god, music, church

I have a different version of Trading my sorrows. It's a great song. I've never understood why I love religious music. My ipod is loaded with it and it always inspires me, even though I can not stand going to church or things like that.

You are Holy is a good one too. The beat keeps it stuck in your head. I think it was one of the only songs I would freely sing at church.

I used to do Jaci Velasquez but that requires mad singing skills lol.

>>"You are Holy (Prince of Peace) by Michael W. Smith
I looooooove this one... we used to do it all the time back when I was at Western! But there are no boys that ever go to the English service here so I can never sing it T^T plus I know a guy that loves this song and I am trying to get him to go haha. He forgot last time."

You know, there was a time *before* Michael W. Smith covered this song and *butchered* it. Back in those days (2000-2002), both the guys and the girls sang both parts, only splitting the last time through. And you can always do a left-side/right-side split.

As for Shane and Shane (You Said), they are AWESOME! My friends Nate, Megan, and I used to play together in this style, with all of the tight harmonies. ^__________^ Guitar, Djembe, and Violin, plus 3 well-blended voices. Mmmm. We were going to form a band, but then Nate ran off and got married.

But I LIKE the Michael W Smith version...

Um... good for you. I'll stick with the original. His version never allows the guys to sing the verse that is the entire point of the song--the names of God. I think that's why, nowadays, girls seem to like this song a lot better than guys do.
