First- my mouth is better! I got put on antibiotics and everything cleared up by Wednesday.
This morning attendance was down, as I expected. A lot of families were out of town for the holiday. In anticipation of that it was just me on acoustic and one vocalist singing harmonies. This setup was perfect for the morning, it was small and intimate.
Our set:
For Who You Are – D I played this in a lower key today so the other singer could sing the harmonies above the melody. I really prefer to do it in E, or F on a good day 
.
How Great is Our God – G What I love about this song is that is so familiar, the voices really ring out above the band (or just me today). It’s familiar, but not played out, which is nice.
Jesus Messiah – D This is a new song for us, and it seems like everyone is picking it up really fast. I do like the simplicity but I am itching to get my hands on it to do a cool arrangement. I will wait until it’s not new anymore!
O Come Emmanuel – Cm One of my favorite carols- it tied into the theme ‘Hope’ very well. I tagged the “Come, Lord Jesus, come” chorus from All Who Are Thirsty on the end – we sang it over the i – VI chords which was very cool.
This post is a part of Sunday Setlists!
I am a fan of the more intimate settings myself. We haven’t done Jesus, Messiah yet because the radio is playing it all the time. Looks like a good set.

Great setlist! Sometimes change is good it breaks the routine of things. Man is it me or is everyone doing Jesus Messiah in there worship sets lately? I think I need to bring it next week!
we do O Come Emmanuel in Em (G) in 6. way fun. your electric guitar player can really chunk into it.
I love Christmas and all it’s songs.
The “O Come” into “Come Lord Jesus” sounds pretty rockin. Nice call.
good tunes…introducing Jesus Messiah this weekend and plan on using it throughout the month…great truth for this time of year!!!
Love the idea of tagging O come Emmanuel with Come Lord Jesus come! Great set I love “Jesus Messiah”.
