Worship Music for Sunday, May 21st

God wants us to encourage each other to stay faithful and to warn each other not to stray from Him. One very effective way to do this is through music – singing psalms and spiritual songs that stir our affections to greater love for Christ. By singing these songs, we remind each other of all that He has done for us so that we will be thankful and filled with joy. He wants us to be so in love with Jesus that we care more for others than ourselves. (Ephesians 5:19-20 paraphrased)

Anybody remember Schoolhouse Rock? It was a series of animated videos from the 1970s that taught kids basic math, history, grammar, and science principles by embedding them into catchy, easy-to-sing-along-to songs. To this day, the only way I can say the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution is to sing it!

Music has a way of bypassing our normal defenses and taking matters directly into the heart and mind, where transformation takes place. When we sing together in corporate worship, we are reminding each other of the glorious truths of the gospel and embedding them into our lives through music. It's the way God designed it to work!

Here are the songs we will be singing together in worship this Sunday:

1. My Lighthouse by Rend Collective (John 8:12)

 

 

2. The Lord is My Light (Psalm 27) by the RidgeWorship Band (Psalm 27)

 NOTE: There is no officially recorded version of this song as of yet. Please pray that God would supply the funds needed to record the original worship songs He has blessed us with.

3. Rising Sun by All Sons & Daughters (Psalm 113:3)

 

 

4. Come Thou Fount (I Will Sing) by Chris Tomlin (John 7:37-38)

 

 

5. The Sound That Saved Us All by Anthony Skinner (Ephesians 2:8-9)
