NOTES:
I was traveling this week for the NCAA DIII Cross country National Championship Meet out in Iowa.  Since one of the girls on my team qualified it meant that I was on the road from early Thursday morning until late on Saturday evening.  With trying to fit a weeks worth of work into the first three days of the week there was no way to squeeze a practice in, so I gave our guys the week off.  Pastor Wise was on vacation this week so Jeff Graw, one of our Elders, spoke.  I wasn't sure exactly what he was preaching on so I decided to keep the theme of the morning on GOD's holiness.

THE SONGS:
Alive and Running - We've been teaching this Kristian Stanfill song for several weeks in a row now.  I think this was the last week we'll do it for a while.  It has a very different feel on the acoustic than it does with the full band (duh!).  However it works very well.  Some of the more uptempo songs are hard to put together without sounding like you're leaving too much space, but this one works.

Glory to Your Name - This is another Dave Hunt tune.  Everytime I write about him on here I recommend you check him out.  This week is no different.  This is a phenomenal worship song.  Seriously, look up Dave Hunt.  You'll be sure to find several new worship tunes that work great for all kinds of church services.

Holy, Holy, Holy - VERY traditional arrangement.  We did all four verses. (all? - I really don't know how many verses are in the original writing).  We came out of "Glory to Your Name" straight into "Holy, Holy, Holy" and made a key change between v.3 and v.4, which set us up to roll seamlessly into "We Fall Down" in the key of E.

We Fall Down - I love the chorus to this song.  There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than to hear GOD's people sing "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb".  It an incredible, and yet miniscule, taste of what we will be a part of in Heaven (all throughout the book of Revelation).

Doxology - We closed with the Doxology.  We typically follow the David Crowder version of the song and today was no different.   It's a very simple arrangement, but I like it.  It's easy to follow and stays interesting.
