As you may or may not have seen on twitter and other places I've been fighting major allergies and some fever and some upper resperatory "junk".. tried to be tender with my voice but blew it in seconds on Sunday morning...so I didn't do any real singing..mostly whispering in tempo.. it was still a very good morning.
1. Opened with your not so favorite "Jesus Messiah" by Tomlin. We had some rythem issues as the drummers monitor was not on but he didn't say anything until after church.. missed that on the pre-church practice/run through...still everyone else stayed pretty much together and the other instrumentation and the vocals sounded pretty good.
After that we did Billy Foote's You are my king..we love this song as a church and it went very well. Next was announcements and children's time and we went to "Oh for a Thousand Tongues" a la Crowder. This is about the 3rd time we've done this and the congregation is relly getting in to this.
We closed out worship with a song I learned at Emmaus called "Freely Freely" by Carol Owens.. I'm usually not big on emmaus tunes at church for some reason..but this one fit the message and where we are right now in the aftermath of Ike.
I was going to do a song that I had written that is interestingly titled "You are my King" for communion..it's really a Lord's prayer song but with my voice gone I couldn't pull it off so we did a song that just happened to be in my binder...How Great is our God by Tomlin. The team sang it beautifully. Kind of a crazy morning because of no practice durning the week with DPS officers all over our campus and everyone working on their own hurricane recovery projects but it came together nicely. It was good church.
