So, right now at Calvary (like most other churches) we’re in full swing in our planning for this year’s Easter services in a few weeks. This includes me in my area of planning the songs for this years services. And as always, I’ve got my list of usual suspects for songs that are on the list of possibles for this year. But I’m looking to see if I can get out of my little box a little and expand my horizons. So naturally I turn to all of you out there in the blogosphere. So here’s what I need from you. Let me know if you can think of any songs that would go great in an Easter service. You know what I’m talking about… the standard Resurrection-He-Arose-Christ-the-Lord-is-Risen-Victory-Over-The-Grave-Jesus-Christ-Rules kinda songs. Anything, I don’t care if you’re a worship leader or not, I just want song ideas.

Hook it up Yo…

UPDATE: So I was just looking at my stats and apparantly some of you coming here have found a similar post from last year where I asked a similar question… If anyone wants to check it out here’s a link.

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who [...]]]>

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” Revelation 7:9-12

This Sunday night come join us as we gather here at Calvary Church and worship God as one voice as we give Him our offering of worship.

Hey everyone, since I’m on the blogging band-wagon again I thought an easy way to score myself another post would be to do one of my good old trusty Worship Confessionals again. So that’s what I’m gonna do whether you like it or not. So sit back, relax and take a minute to catch up on how last Sunday went in the Elevation service at Calvary Church Santa Ana.

Welp, let me start out by telling you that this week was totally different from most of my weeks. For those of you who are numbers people I’d say it was different than about 97.82% of my weeks. What made it so different you ask? Well, two things for me. 1) I played in our Celebration service which I hardly ever do simply because I’m always walking around and checking out the Student Ministries stuff and making sure things are going ok in those areas or because I’m just finishing up some final touches on the Elevation service. Either way, I’m usually doing something. 2) We didn’t get to have our normal rehearsal this week because we were doing a Christmas musical this week and they were using our stage where we normally are.

So, it was different. Different but good too. I actually loved playing in our Celebration service… I loved it because I wasn’t leading it and that is something I don’t get to do very often anymore. I loved just sitting back and just playing what someone else had for me and adding my own style to that. It was so sweet. I also loved that we didn’t have a full rehearsal on Tuesday. Don’t get me wrong, it was tough, but it was just a cool reminder that God is control of what we do and the Holy Spirit can work even if we (I) don’t feel as prepared as I should.

Another thing that was different about this week was that we started doing some of our Christmas songs and thats always fun.

One of the things though that stood out the most about this Sunday was just simply the fact that our people in Elevation were singing their hearts out… they were singing LOUD! As a worship leader I loved hearing that. I loved hearing the voices of the people in our congregation above my own and the others on stage. It’s was neat to see the Holy Spirit moving in our room too. I can honestly say that our people worshiped God with their whole hearts this Sunday. I love that. What an encouragement that is to me as their pastor.

Now finally we get down to the nitty-gritty… the songs we used this week and for simplicities sake I’m just gonna make a list down below and finish off this post. Feel free to ask questions about anything and I’d love to hear from you how your Sunday went. Or even better ,if you’re an Elevationite, I’d love to hear your thoughts on Sunday. Here are the songs…

• Angels We Have Heard On High – Our Arrangement
• Here I Am To Worship – Hughes
• Till I See You – Hillsong United
• The Stand – Hillsong United
• Jesus Paid It All – Arr. Nifong
• Only You – Crowder
