Journey of Worship

This is another great song from the latest album by Paul Baloche. It’s called “You Have Saved Us”. You can find out more about Paul and his ministry at his website. If you haven’t gotten a copy of “Glorious” yet, you can get the physical disc or digital download through Amazon. Watch Paul doing the song with his band, and then watch him as he talks about the song.

Enjoy!

Lately, I’ve been listening a lot to Paul Baloche’s new recording “Glorious.” While it’s definitely classic Paul Baloche, it has some great songs and sounds on it.

One of the songs that has really grabbed me is the title track, “Glorious.” It’s an awesome song with solid words, and it doesn’t hurt that it has a catchy riff.

Check out the video below of Paul and his band playing the song, then watch the video below that of Paul talking about this song. I think that I am definitely going to work this one into the church’s song rotation.

Enjoy!

Another great song on the album is “You Have Saved Us.”

If you haven’t got this album yet, you can get the digital download here or order a copy here through Amazon.

While this isn’t necessarily a new song, it’s one that’s come to my attention lately. It’s a great expression of so many things, yet is a compact and simple song to catch on to.

We’re going to be introducing this song soon, and I hope it catches on.

Check out Paul Baloche and his band doing the song below. Enjoy.

What do you think?

I had the opportunity to hear many new songs while at the National Worship Leader Conference a few weeks ago. One of those songs was by the group Leeland from their new album releasing on August 25. It’s called “Follow You” and is a great song about allowing our worship to overflow into our daily life.

I heard them do it both in an acoustic version and a full-on rock version. Check out the video below of them doing it acoustically, and let me know what you think.

I’ve been sharing some song stories this summer with my congregation, and wanted to focus on the new song, “Praise the Father, Praise the Son” that we sang for the first time on August 9. Check out what Chris Tomlin has to say about it, take a look at the lyrics, and watch the video to hear Chris Tomlin and Ed Cash (who co-wrote the song) talk about it. Allow this great song that focuses the heart and mind on the triune nature of God be a part of your worship expression.

Praise the Father, Praise the Son

“There are always those songs that you hold an extra special place for inside. This is one of those for me. Ed Cash and I wrote this song on the last night of recording my vocals for the record. All of the songs were already recorded, and we were happy with where we were. But I am always open to God possibly breathing another song along the way. On this night, Ed grabbed his guitar and told me he wanted to play this melody that he felt was special and that he had been using in some times of ministry with his church family. It kind of reminded me of how the Bible teaches that David would play, and it would bring peace and healing. Ed sang a few lyric ideas for the verse, and I immediately just began to sing out the chorus you hear on the record. It was one of the moments where you knew you were not in charge, and we both just sat there with tears in our eyes, stunned at what was happening. I do feel this song, in particular, is one that any church, with any style of worship can sing. It continues to be my heart to write songs that give voice to the generations now and the ones that are to come; and I sense this is one of those songs.” –Chris Tomlin

Praise The Father, Praise The Son

Written by Ed Cash and Chris Tomlin

O sovereign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To You belongs the highest praise

These sufferings, this passing tide
Under Your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory

Praise the Father, Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power and in grace
The name above all other names

To the valley, for my soul
Thy great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows

Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory
Forever

During the summer, we’ve introduced the song “Revelation Song.” It’s really quickly become a favorite expression of our church. In the past issue of our church newsletter, I included the story behind the song. If you haven’t read it yet, I’ve included it below straight from the author’s (Jennie Lee Riddle) blog. The story is as great as the song. After reading the story, be sure to check out the video below. This was the first video I saw of the song being done, and is still my favorite.
