Worship Setlist - May 6, 2012

Sunday morning at Kings

• Crown him with many crowns - Matthew Bridges, Godfrey Thring, George Elvey

• Praise is rising - Brenton Brown

• When I call on your name - Ben Cantelon

A good meeting, if a little quiet due to the bank holiday.

Wes preached on Ezra 5, finishing with an encouragement to hope in God for restoration. I had several options prepred for the response and went with 'Love divine'. I don't use that hymn anything like as often as it deserves.

Sunday morning at Kings

• Here for you - Matt Redman, Jesse Reeves, Tim Wanstall, Matt Maher

• Praise to the Lord, the Almighty - Joachim Neander, Catherine Winkworth
• I will worship - David Ruis
• To you, O Lord - Graham Kendrick

• My foes are many - Kristian Stanfill, Jason Ingram
• Everyone needs compassion - Rueben Morgan, Ben Fielding

Alive this morning!

The whole set clicked right from the off. 'Here for you' is a great opener. 'Praise to the Lord' led well into extemporary praise. And people brought contributions that took us towards the more devotional themes of 'I will worship' and 'To you, O Lord'.

That was the first time I've led 'Always'. Other worship leaders have done it at Kings, and it fits really well with our series on Ezra. It's a prime offender in the excessive vocal range stakes, but the chorus and bridge are so good that it's worth it.

Again, there were good contributions after the sermon, and 'Mighty to save' was a good note to end on. It's a shame that we were so pushed for time. I think people were up for more.

Joint evening service at Kings

• Saviour of the world - Ben Cantelon

• Come, let us worship Jesus - Graham Kendrick
• Holy, holy - Nathan Fellingham
• Holy - Matt Redman, Jonas Myrin, Jason Ingram

• Open the eyes of my heart - Paul Baloche
• We bow down - Viola Grafstrom
• Be thou my vision - tr. Eleanor Hull

Yes, on fire this evening!

Our preaching series for both evening meetings this term are on Revelation. A high proportion of our songs have influences from Revelation, so it wasn't difficult to come up with a set.

I deliberately chose fewer songs this evening and left spaces in the arrangements for extemporary singing, prayers and psalms. The room seemed alive with deep engagement with God.
