It has been over a year since I put together a set list and led a team in worship. Due to various health issues and job conflicts since our move I have not been on a worship team more times than I can count on my fingers. I must confess that I am nervous about it. I have a small team for a visit to a local prison. The halau has graciously offered to perform a dance during the services. Our pastor of prison ministry will share a message on the subject of “forgiveness.” I pray that my hands have strength to play then notes. I pray that my voice has the strength to carry the notes. I pray that our music would not be a distraction from but an attraction to Jesus. I pray that God keeps my humble in the process. Yes husband, I am praying that prayer again. He always wants me to let him know when I pray that prayer.
Tomorrow I have my first run through with the other worship leader for this service. He’ll play the guitar and lead out on a couple of songs. I’ll lead out on a couple of songs. Looking forward to sitting behind a piano as I sing. I feel a little rusty, but practicing will help. Working the kinks out of the set list will help. Getting this first run through out of the way will help.
The set list:
- Our God
- The Glorious Cross (a fabulous original by one of the team)
- All Who Are Thirsty
- Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus (chorus only)
- What Joy
Prayers are appreciated for the upcoming worship services at the prison.
I’ll be praying. Wish I was there, some of my sweetest times of worship have been with you at the piano.
I agree with Faye!!!
