Music for Sunday March 15

Today we were in the 3rd week of a series where we have been identifying with 7 people that Jesus meets on the way to the cross. Today listening to John 2:13-22 we identified with those in the temple, as having spiritual "blind spots" that keep us and others from having a relationship with Jesus.

Music at Sanctuary1010-

I played and worship led at Sanctuary this Sunday, just me and the piano

Opening worship set
Be thou My Vision- in C
Once Again -in C
When I survey the Wondrous Cross- in C

( I really liked this worship set and how the songs flowed together thematically, but I set them pretty low to accommodate my limited range, and it may have made it difficult for the congregation to sing. Be Thou My Vision has a large range in it, so its hard to find a comfortable key... key of D gets to high for me on that song, because it goes up to a D, which I find to be about the highest note that girls can sing comfortably, but its still a stretch. Putting Be Thou my Vision in C, puts the lowest note as a G.... to low! I usually improvise a little on the song and sing the G's as C's, but it didn't work today, as I heard everyone singing the melody anyway)

during communion we played a cd of David Crowders- The Remedy, and Deliver Me, both great songs.

After communion/Face to Face we prayed together using petitions asking God to help us find our blindspots in our homes/work/school/community/world. between each petition, we sang a chorus:

Overturn, overturn overturn my life so I might know you more
Overturn, overturn, overturn my life so I might serve you Lord

We closed out the service with an acapella verse of Amazing Grace.
