Sunday Setlist - October 18

Intersting weekend at Gospel Light this weekend!   It started with a street meeting in the middle of the Bronx, New York City.   The Bronx is where our latest church plant is being started, and some of us went down there to help Pastor Jim and Andrea with this outreach.   Our choir, Send Judah First, sang a few songs, as did the choir from Pivot Ministries.

Here's a video of some of that:



Onto Sunday!   The setlist looked like this:

Opening:

God of Wonders (Byrd/Hindalong)(G)

Main Set:

Cover the Earth (Cruse-Racliffe/Houghton/Houghton)(D)
Your Grace is Enough (Maher)(G)
God of Wonders (reprise)
Shout to the Lord (Zschech)(G)
Hosanna (Fraser)(B)

Offering:

Trading My Sorrows (Evans)(G)
Lord I Life Your Name on High (Founds)(G)

Strange day today. Chris had car trouble, so both our scheduled drummer and our backup were unavailable. I decided to forgo the electric guitar totally, play acoustic on the fast songs, and play drums on the two slow songs and the offering.  (because to me, "God of Wonders" needs an acoustic guitar and "Hosanna" needs a beat.) I had actually never played "Hosanna" on drums - not that it's hard - so that was fun.  And I love playing "Trading My Sorrows" on drums. 

After our set, we were again joined by Pivot Ministries.  Pivot is a Christ-centered drug and alcohol program for men.  One of the requirements of the program is that the men participate in the Gospel Choir, which is quite good.  (they've put our several albums) Pivot ministered with several songs.  We love it when these guys come out.   There's a cell-phone video of some of their home-spun rapping below. 

All in all a great day, to be topped off by an evening service tonight.   Next week... well, that'll be a surprise!

As usual, this will be part of Fred McKinnon's setlist carnival.
