This past weekend, I had the opportunity to lead HSM in worship through music. Do you ever have those days when you feel like your “A” game is off? For me it was obvious. Our church is in the middle of 2 different school districts, and one of the school districts had their spring break this past week. So, that meant no practice for us because we had so many kids out of town. Therefore, we had to come in early on Saturday to practice and rehearse. Our first service on the weekend starts at 4:30 and so our down beat time was 12:30. “Why so early?” you might ask; well we needed to learn 2 new songs this band had never played. Our goal is to always be done an hour before service starts, so we can pray together, eat together, talk about the program, and pray together with the HSM student leadership and staff. Well, 2 of my students were 45 minutes late, which threw me off because it was our bass player and drummer. Anyways, we ran practice all the way up to 30 minutes before service started and had to cut practicing a song because we were running too late. And the worst of it all we had to rush dinner. Then, to top it all off, our first service of leading worship, we came up on stage too late because I thought there was a video. I was fumbling through my words while trying to lead people to the Throne, and I forgot to be on stage for a song. Ya that would be my “D” game right there, I would have given myself an “F” but at least I was on stage. Anyways, everything doesn’t go the way you plan, but that is OKAY, because in the long run, and this is so true, but GOD IS IN CONTROL. Because it was a great message, students came to the Throne, and I know students love Jesus more because His presence was there. All that to say, here are our songs for this past weekend:
