What Are You Playing Sunday?

[Ascension]

Haven't heard those three names in a while!! But I liked his stuff way-a-way-a-way back, very talented and a good heart.

Agreed. I covered his song Would you Crucify Him a few times on solo acoustic.Incredible song and very deep. I will get you crucified if you play it in the wrong church also LOL!

I do that on acoustic sometimes and think maybe I like it better without too much jumble around it.

Well, I had to do that opening theme. And, the little 3/maj7 back-and-forth at the end of the verses is too cool to leave out....

ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT
THE WORKWEEK IS OVER AND SUNDAY'S IN SIGHT!

And we're playing just four songs:
For the Beauty of the Earth
Brethren We Have Met to Worship
This is Amazing Grace
Beautiful Things

How about you?

I like how your church does a couple of old familiar hymns (the first two) along with the others.

By now, most people probably consider "This Is Amazing Grace" an old familiar hymn.

Thanks for that.

Part of my worship theology is that everyone benefits when we mix cultures, styles, and ages. It keeps the sound from stagnating but more importantly reminds the church that we (and by "we" I mean 3500 years' worth of worshipers) are all one body strengthening each other. To that end we play new songs (or 10-year old ancient songs like the "This is Amazing Grace"), use truly ancient (4th century) poems set to recognizable tunes, and include country, rock, country-rock, blues, reggae-world beat, in with the traditional piano-driven 4-part hymns. The Pastor agrees with me and is happy to go along with telling people, "I'm not surprised you didn't really like that song; it's not your style. But thanks so much for singing along and ministering to the people in the congregation who love it!"
