The Day After May Day…
It seemed to have passed me by without even realizing it… May Day was yesterday! I finally remembered and wished someone “Happy May Day” oh, around 10:00 last night. C’est la vie.
So that makes today the day after May Day. May 2nd. And a beautiful day in early may it is here in Western Washington… with the snow level around 2,000 feet and the low-hanging clouds and temps in the 50′s. Low 50′s.
Ugh.
Yes, it’s cold and blustery – but we aren’t under water, so it’s all good!
Well, I was supposed to be postinga MIA setlist this morning… I was supposed to be taking the weekend off and celebrating Mother’s Day with my mum-in-law, but we had a sick kiddo and didn’t want to spread the germs. So, I’m posting it from the perspective of the stage, as usual.
So, without further ado… the list:
- Glorious (Paul Baloche/Brenton Brown) [Bb]
- Glory To God Forever (Steve Fee/Vicky Beeching) [G]
- God of Wonders (Marc Byrd/Steve Hindalong) [F]
- My Savior, My God (Aaron Shust/DD Greenwell) [C]
- kids story
- Counting On God (Jared Anderson) [E]
- Message – Somebody Pinch Me
- Doxology
Glorious is one of our most requested songs these days. It seems that everyone loves singing it – and playing it (which is usually a pretty good thing!) Having two electric guitars on that one makes it just a bit more fun too, as David plays the bridge during the intro – about an octave higher than I sing it. It’s just kewl.
Glory to God Forever is a new song for us – we just introduced it last week – and it seems to be fairly well received so far. It’s played quite a bit on the radio here too, so it’s fairly well known to a good chunk of the congregation already. It was great to see a few people fully entering in this morning while we sang it (even while others were still learning the words).
Since I was planning to be gone, we had split the songs up between a few people so they could all lead together, so Art led the next two songs and I got to sing harmony (yay!) We haven’t done God of Wonders in quite a while, and it was nice to pull it out of the file and shake off the dust a bit. And I have to throw out kudos to our media gal – the background she found for it this morning was so stinkin’ cool. It looked like we were flying through space and getting to see God’s extra-planetary creation up close & personal. Everyone on stage wanted to turn around and watch it. Good job Carol!
Scott & Julie did a great job with the kids story this morning too – Scott played the part of Peter sitting in jail wonderfully, and I think the kids had a lot of fun getting to be the angels getting him out of jail. They were even extra quiet so they didn’t wake up the guards!
So, that was our Sunday… how was yours?
