Sunday Setlist 10/05/08

This post is a part of Sunday Setlists.

Our setlist:

All We Need – Charlie Hall: I played this song in D- replacing the tag/bridge on the recording with We Exalt Thee. It flowed well, and I especially liked the chord substitution we did on the We Exalt Thee tag – instead of the V on the second line, we played a iii chord- it changed it up just enough to be fresh but wasn’t distracting.

Desert Song – Hillsong: A new song this week. To preface the song I shared a little of why the song speaks to me – in short I’ve had a hard year- or two- deaths in the family, general discontentment… I really am uncomfortable being vulnerable but I think here it was appropriate. The song went over very very well. We did it in the original key, D.

Congregational Scripture Reading: Psalm 46. We read it as a group and took a few minutes for personal reflection.

Rescue – Jared Anderson – Ab. A favorite of everyone. I wish I could play this one in G but it would be too low for the men. Ah well.

Majesty - Delirious – Ab. Also pushing on the too low side for the guys, so I had my other guitar/vocals (male) sing up in my octave for the pre-chorus. It sounded great.

For musicians we had two: myself on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, and a tenor also on acoustic guitar. We were supposed to have a keyboard player show up but he never did. I’m learning to be flexible! I had several positive comments about the set after the service and my husband told me in the car on the way home it was “the best one yet”. And he’s not one to mince words.

Next weekend I’m playing/leading for a womens retreat for another church. Services Friday night, Saturday morning and Saturday night. Then a two hour drive home and service the next morning. Thankfully I am not leading next week, just playing and singing some bgv. I am really looking forward to the retreat- I just know that God is going to do something amazing. And I don’t say that lightly.
