Here is the worship set list for Grace Crossing. We had a really good day even though at the very beginning my guitar mysteriously left the sound board. We had just a short delay to get it back into the house and monitors...we still aren't sure what happened...Jon broke out the Marimba today on a couple of songs and I was a little out of my element playing electric...

Hey hey,
This past weekend was a lot of fun. Josh and Joni had their second child. Josh didn't preach this week...so all worship. The welcome time was 2 of our shepherds briefly telling the church about our leadership structure and that we were about to ordain a new shepherd to help lead at Grace Crossing. It was good and I am excited about Jeff stepping into that role. We then began our long worship set. During the 9 songs, people took communion at tables set up in the back as the Spirit led them. We encouraged them to take communion with friends and family. We had a great day.

Here is the worship set...

Our Great God – A
Welcome
The heart of Worship - D
Praise the Father, Praise the Son - C
As the deer - C
Famous One - E
I sing Your praises – E
I will rise – G
Breathing the Breathe – D
Hosanna – D
Love Lifted Me – G
Your Grace is Enough – G

And some notes about a couple of songs...
As the deer - Jon arranged this and did a great job, we had different vocalist sing each verse and a chorus, then moved into the chorus of You are God alone...very powerful
I sing Your praises - This is an arrangement of I need Thee every hour and Purer in Heart with an original chorus thrown in to bridge between verses/chorus and each song
Hosanna - Andrew Peterson song...Grace Crossing really responds to this...check it out if you haven't heard it

Hosanna by AP

We sang this song last week at Grace Crossing for Palm Sunday...Andrew Peterson's song off of his most recent album Resurrection Letters vol. 2...quite convicting...

Hosanna

I am tangled up in contradiction
I am strangled by my own two hands
I am hunted by the hounds of addiction
Hosanna

I have lied to everyone who trusts me
I have tried to fall when I could stand
I have only loved the ones who love me
Hosanna

Oh, Hosanna
See the long awaited king
Come to set his people free
Oh, Hosanna
Come and tear the temple down
Raise it up on holy ground
Hosanna

I have struggled to remove this raiment
Tried to hide every shimmering strand
I contend with these ghosts and these hosts of bright angels
Hosanna

I have cursed the man that you have made me
I have nursed the beast that bays for my blood
I have run from the one who would save me
Hosanna

We cry for blood
We take your life
Hosanna
We cry for blood
We take your life
It is blood and it is life that you have given

You have crushed beneath your heel the vile serpent
You have carried to the grave the black stain
You have torn apart the temple's holy curtain
You have beaten death at death's own game
Hosanna

Update more...

Hey hey,
We had a great time in Searcy Thursday. I had a couple of guys and a couple of squirrels (Itchy and Scratchy) make the trip with me...good times. Travis had to feed the little guys every 4 hours. I slept right through the night time feedings. The HU show was great as Andrew Chance got to come down from Fayetteville. It's always good to play a few tunes with my good friend. We made a quick stop in Little Rock before heading back to the home front...

Just hanging out at the apartment for the most part this weekend. We have had a good snow here so the regular weekend activities have been slowed a bit. Mom left before the snow came...Jaci likes seeing her grammy!

Looks like there may be a Square Beans show coming up for their 1 year anniversary...possible Otherlands show in Mid-town Memphis...that's about all on the radar for now...

Think I'll go read a book...or play checkers...or snore...

later

Here are some pictures from the Coffeehouse in Little Rock...Thanks to Jason Burt for the pics...
I am looking forward to the Harding show coming up in a couple of weeks. Looks like Andrew Chance will make the trek down and sit in...

We met mom in Corinth yesterday. Had lunch and then drove around the town. We found a little coffee shop downtown that was really fun. I will surely stop by again...Good people...

This next weekend we are headed to The Rock to get the house cleaned up and the ladies are having a garage sale...woo hoo...Hope to see some folks and avoid all type of garage sale activities...later

word...

We are sitting here listening to 20/20 in the background...watched Super nanny a little earlier...contemplating putting a movie in...Friday night at the Cooper apartment is always relaxing...after the kid hits the hay...wouldn't trade it for anything

Headed over to Square Beans tomorrow to play a few tunes. Chilson Howard will play a few as well...

Show in Searcy at HU on the 26th of this month...Thursday night in Searcy will be rockin, I'm gonna have to recruit someone to ride over with me to keep me awake...taking applications now

I'll post some pictures of last weekend in Little Rock soon...peace
