Here’s another Sunday Setlist post recapping this evening’s worship service. The hub for all of the Sunday Setlist posts can be found at FredMcKinnon.com. Now, let’s get to it.

Today, I played in big church instead of leading our youth groups because CHIC is going on right now and most of our senior highers are in Tennessee taking part in that. So I got to play guitar and sing in big church today, which I love doing. It’s nice being a part of the band when you’re not the leader and not the one in charge of everything. I love leading, but it’s also nice to follow the leadership of someone else once in a while.

The setlist for today looked like this:

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing (traditional). This was the first time I had done this song the traditional way, (not Crowder’s version). Autumn and I traded off a little bit on this song with her leading verses one and three and I sang lead on verse two. I like being able to do this kind of stuff where two different people sing lead at different times during the song.

For Who You Are into Jesus Messiah. Like the last song, Autumn and I went back and forth leading it. I led the first time through it, Autumn led the second time through, and then I picked it up again at the bridge and went until the end. From there, we did a major tempo change and transition into the chorus of Jesus Messiah and did the second half of the song.

Yesterday Today and Forever. This is a Vicky Beeching that we do pretty regularly. It’s a very good up tempo song talking about God’s faithfulness and unchanging…ness. I enjoy playing this song, but I’d like to sit down and work out some more interesting guitar parts for it, because I feel like I play the same riff for 2/3 of the song.

Fairest Lord Jesus (traditional). This was right after the sermon and was a very quite, reflective song with just piano. Ricky sang harmony on it and it sounded great.

Exalted (Yahweh). This song is pretty new in our church and is off of Chris Tomlin’s Hello Love CD. This song was great as it perfectly fit with the sermon (talking about God’s name, Yahweh), and it felt like it really connected. There’s something really cool and powerful about singing “Yahweh, holy is your name.”

Blessed Be Your Name. The last song of the service, after the offering. I led this one and forgot one of the words, but it was okay. I think this song is known well enough that it doesn’t take too much leading. One really cool part was when we got to the bridge and David, our drummer did a syncopated, half-time feel beat that was really, really cool.

There you have it. The Sunday setlist for July 12, 2009.

It was a good Sunday, I was happy to be a part of the team leading the evening service in worship.
