Sing The Meaning Of The Words

by Chris Beatty

“That’s obvious,” you might say, but, think about it. Is that where you spend your song preparation time? Going deep into the words? Identifying action verbs and adjectives, and deciding which words require something extra? Do you take the text and look at it from every angle? Do you use a dictionary, thesaurus and

A Christmas Offering

by Paul Baloche

Over the past fifteen years as Worship Pastor in my local church, I have found it a challenge to include worship songs that will integrate well into the Christmas season set list. I love pulling out the standard Christmas carols that we only seem to sing once a year, but I’ve found that very few of them are sung ‘to’ the Lord.

Authenticity

by David Baroni

James Taylor has it. Stevie Wonder has it. Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell ooze with it. The deft and creative touch of pianists Lyle Mays (with the Pat Metheny group), and arranger/composer/conductor Dave Grusin sparkle with it.

YOU ARE THE MESSAGE Part 2: The Visual Side

by Chris Beatty

It takes a lot of honesty, and a bit of reflecting, to deal with the visual side of presenting a single song or an entire concert. But, the good news is that by adding the visual to the audio you have many more ways to get the job done. That job? To get the message of the song from your heart, to the listener’s heart.

Psalm 40:1-6

1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.

2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.

3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.    
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the LORD.

4 Blessed is the man
who makes the LORD his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.

5 Many, O LORD my God,
are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us
no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare.

6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but my ears you have pierced;
burnt offerings and sin offerings
you did not require.
