In the spirit of sharing worship songs, may I suggest two songs Minho did today, A Greater Song and Hosanna, off of I think Paul Baloche’s latest (username: “guest”, password: my wife’s maiden name). Feel free to return the favor. I’m with Minho (actually, I have no idea if he said this); I like Baloche’s recording of Hosanna better than the Brenton Brown version. Nice energy. And I like A Greater Song a lot also.
SN. During practice today we got lost during the lyrics and sang “In your presence, all our fears are made new.” Whoops, that’s not right.
You know who’s really ahead of the curve, song-wise. My sister’s church. Seems like every time I go there I hear at least one song I don’t hear anywhere else for several months. I can’t remember when we started doing Filled With Your Glory but I do remember I first heard it there many months earlier; it must have been almost 2 years ago. I think it’s the youth influence there. I only hang out with old fogies who can’t be bothered to keep up with all the latest trends.
One song I disrecommend: Fraction Anthem. It’s just an odd song, with odd chords, odd melody, strangely held notes and weird dissonances. And for the longest time, I had no clue what the title meant. I’ve since learned that it’s a term from the Episcopal Church for a song sung during the Eucharist. But honestly, yelling out “1/3, 2/5, 1/4” might possibly be a more compelling song.
