Comments on: EASTER – A New Song? http://www.ragamuffinsoul.com/2007/04/easter-a-new-song/ Carlos Whittaker's Weblog Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:29:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Christian http://www.ragamuffinsoul.com/2007/04/easter-a-new-song/#comment-36326 Christian Thu, 05 Apr 2007 19:43:53 +0000 http://www.ragamuffinsoul.com/?p=1122#comment-36326 We're doing 2 new ones. The Cross by Kate Miner. Cool tune with some really cool lyrical ideas. We sort of built the service around it. We're also doing Happy Day by Tim Hughes for the first (maybe last) time. Which is a bit awkward for me. First time I heard the tune on Tim's podcast, I totally bagged on it to a bunch of other worship leaders. When I mentioned this week on my podcast that we were doing it, my buddy James about fell off his chair laughing saying "a few months ago you told me how crap that song was and now you're doing it?" What can I say? I'm a sell-out. We’re doing 2 new ones. The Cross by Kate Miner. Cool tune with some really cool lyrical ideas. We sort of built the service around it.

'shout unto God' is pretty simple--2 basic parts that build into each other, so i think people will pick up on it pretty well. i’m doing one new song this weekend (‘shout unto God’, hillsongs united), and the rest will be ones we do periodically. ‘shout unto God’ is pretty simple–2 basic parts that build into each other, so i think people will pick up on it pretty well.

We're doing a couple new ones (Carried to the Table by Leeland, for our communion song, and Come Awake by Crowder, which is the theme for the whole Easter gathering this year) but a majority are solid staples that we can play with slightly to give them a new feel, but not change them too much so they're unfamiliar. Los, is the new song one you wrote? As long as its not more than a couple, I think it’s fine.

That is why you are paid the big bucks to be a worship pastor. ;) I'll deal. Personally, I like when you reinterpret old songs...I am a secret Maranatha lover. All those years growing up in a crazy, off the chain Penecostal church with people speaking in tongues and bein' slain in the Spirit--that was some worship, yo!
