I’ve had the chance to play this one a few times now at our “new” church - it has a dramatic setting, with a solo voice as the proclaimer setting the stage, building into the song verses, then a power praise chorus with full-throated brass. [...]
Subtitled: “ElShaddai, I’m crazy to do what you say and go somewhere if your Ghost is not there!”
David Ker tagged me and several others with a “weird worship” meme, which evidently focuses on bizarre worship song lyrics. In addition to David’s original post, there have been a number of great replies, including this from Peter [...]
Over at Better Bibles Blog, Suzanne continues to post on blood, sin and color in Psalm 51.
