Here are the songs I’m thinking of teaching @ HBC…in no particular order…
- God of Justice - Tim Hughes (this is a going out song, a song that calls us to respond)
- Remedy - David Crowder (we taught this @ HBC in Feb 200
- God of This City - Passion/Chris Tomlin
- Hosanna - Christy Nockels/Passion version
- Shine - Matt Redman
- Beautiful Jesus - Kristian Stanfill
- Walk The World - Charlie Hall (this song has a great funky beat and great syncopation - i love the missional lyrics)
- Our God Saves - Paul Baloche, Brenton Brown (introduced to HBC in Jan 200
- You Are So Good to Me - Waterdeep (introduced to HBC Dec 2007)
- When I Think About The Lord - Shane and Shane style (introduced to HBC Jan 200
- Salvation Is Here - Hillsong United (The energy in this song is similar to Mighty To Save)
- Happy Day - Tim Hughes (this will be a huge church hit, but not sure if it’s just right for us. but I love the energy in this song)
- Everything - Tim Hughes (love the percussive piano at the beginning and how the songs build to “Christ, be my everything”)
- The Highest and The Greatest - (This song is very singer friendly and I love the reference to the nations. The tempo is upbeat but not fast. This will also be a big church hit nationally.)
- Yes & Amen - Matt Redman (probably too slow - but the lyrics are really unique)
- Glorious One - Steve Fee (this is going to be a big hit)
- Marvelous Light - Charlie Hall (good version at last April date of 7[]22)
- A Greater Song - Matt Redman/Paul Baloche
- Spring of Life - Kristian Stanfill (awesome communion song) - I Can’t find this recorded anywhere - but I LOVE this song. (update - now you can get this from i-tunes off Kristian’s new EP)
- Lead Me to the Cross (Hill Song United) - May 1st @ 7[]22
- You Never Let Go - Matt Redman
- Jesus Reigns - Todd Fields
- Open Skies - David Crowder (good opening worship song, but the melody is not that catchy)
- Beautiful Scandalous Night (originally performed and written by the Choir, recently performed by Robbie Seay Band)
- Priceless Treasure - Charlie Hall (a slower reflective song that would work great around communion)
Other ideas/tags:
- Lead from Breathe straight into Mighty to Save (did this on 10-14-2007)
- Add tag to Kindness - “Better than all the riches of the world”
- Add tag to The Heart of Worship (already did this awhile back) - “You will not share your glory with another”
- Add bridge to Resonate, and do song more reflective/slower than we usually do.
- Forever - end with just voices on bridge
- Add tag to O For A Thousand Songs, from David Crowder
- Add tag to All Hail the Power of Jesus Name - “Raise Up The Crown, Rise on the Praises” - did this awhile back
I love beautiful scandalous night…i did that in church last easter
Hey I was searching for some song lyrics and I randomly came across your blog. I’m a worship leader and I’m always on the lookout for new songs. Where do you find the guitar chords for these songs? I can usually find lyrics and chords fairly easily, but some of the ones that aren’t as well-known have been really hard for me to find, like Kristian Stanfill’s “Spring of Life”. Is there a particular site you go to or do you just listen to them and write out the chords yourself? Any info you can provide would be helpful. Thanks a lot and God bless!
