Children's Worship Setlist - Feb 7, 2010

Kids worship at Kings this morning

• Dance on the streets - Mike Burn
• I will praise you Lord - Chris Juby
• I'd reach for the stars - Mike Burn

Lively again this morning. And more kids than have been around recently. We talked about some of the best things that have happened to us and how that made us want to act, then about expressing thanks to God for the Cross.

Sunday morning at Kings

• Come, let us worship Jesus - Graham Kendrick

• To God be the glory - Fanny Crosby
• What can I do - Graham Kendrick, Paul Baloche
• Adoration - Brenton Brown

• Be thou my vision - tr. Eleanor Hull
• Jesus, lover of my soul - Paul Oakley
• I will worship - David Ruis

We were away from our normal venue this morning, and it was a Vision and Values Sunday.

I'm increasingly passionate about keeping the Cross in full view in our worship. Other themes are obviously legitimate and in fact important, but the Cross is the heart of the matter.

There's an incredible power in simply stating the gospel together in our worship (so, 'To God be the Glory' and the second verse of 'What can I do' this morning).

Perhaps it would be possible for everyone to be so well discipled and prepared for worship that we could assume more and start "further on". But the Cross is the greatest act of worship in history and the most profound revelation of God, so I really can't see why we would want to stray very far away. Where "further" is there to go? I would rather go deeper into the mystery of the Cross.

Sunday evening at Kings

• Oh our Lord and King - Alan Rose

• And can it be - Charles Wesley
• What can I do - Graham Kendrick, Paul Baloche
• Adoration - Brenton Brown

• I cling to the cross - Chris Juby
• Jesus, all for Jesus - Robin Mark
• In Christ alone - Stuart Townend, Keith Getty

A joint evening meeting to begin the term. Mark started off both evening series preaching on the Cross as the pattern for discipleship. I changed my second set fairly significantly as the meeting unfolded. The band sounded amazing.

That's the first time I've led Brenton Brown's 'Adoration', which is a useful addition to the repertoire. The bridge is particularly good. There's a demo and chords up at Worship Central.
