mothers day!
Oh yes… what a glorious day it was… sorry this post is a little late… but better late then never right??? Jeremy Carter led worship from the grand piano this weekend… it was just amazing. It always blows my mind when I’m not on stage to feel how the God of the Universe comes close in a weekend experience like that. man that’s awesome. Jeremy did a killer job wrapping the “craziness” of mothers lives up with the truth in these songs. Especially “untitled (like a rock)”. Yeah… that’s a charlie hall tune that he did when he was here that still doesn’t have a title, and isn’t recorded yet… but WOW… it’s an amazing song. Anyway… here’s what went down last sunday: FYI, if you click on the iMix link to the right, a percentage comes back to Oakbrook, and all the money we see will be put in a fund to benefit Haiti and other local compassion initiatives…
1. everything by Michael Buble
we used this song as the lude… the band killed it! Nothing like a little Buble to make everybody smile!
2. awesome is the lord most high by chris tomlin
classic. we did this one like an awesome version kristian stanfill did at 722… VERY cool.
3. for who you are by hillsong
this song is sooooo singable… everyone really grabbed onto this one… awesome experience.
4. untitled (like a rock) by charlie hall
like I said above… that’s probably not really going to be the title, but here are the lyrics, they fit so powerfully with the big idea of mothers day: while you wear a million hats as a mom… you are valued, and most of all, you are a daughter of God.
Well I’ve been hit from every corner
And I’ve been thrown from side to side
And I’m cracked up on the inside
So I come to You for life
And Your presence always heals me
So I wanna drink it in
You know where we’re going God
And You know where I’ve been
CHORUS:
And Your love is like a rock
When I’m spinning
Your love is like a rock
When I’m spinning
Your love is like a rock
When I’m spinning around
And yesterday I felt so angry
And today so insecure
And I hate it that I wrestle
With the God that I adore
And Your presence always heals me
So I wanna drink it in
You know where we’re going God
And You know where I’ve been
Repeat CHORUS
Well I wish this thing could pass from me
But I wanting what You want
So bring me high or bring me low
Just hold me in Your love
And Your presence always heals me
So I wanna drink it in
You know where we’re going God
And You know where I’ve been
