Wednesday Is for Worship: “Our God”

My calendar says that it’s Wednesday again.  So, let’s turn our attention to the worship of our great God.  In fact, today’s worship offering is called “Our God.” Written in 2010 for the Passion conference by the big time team of Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, Jonas Myrin, and Matt Redman and published through Thankyou Music, the song was the first track on…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Healing Rain”

It’s Wednesday.  Last Wednesday was a dry Wednesday, but not this one!!  Mercifully, it is raining, adding to the couple of inches of rain we’ve already received here in July after a June where we saw around a quarter of an inch of rain for the entire month.  After a much-needed drink, my tomatoes and squash are blooming out again.  Yes!! It’s…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “How Sweet and Aweful Is the Place”

  Well, it’s Wednesday again.  Are you ready to go to the mountaintop to worship the Lord? Today is a hymn written by one of the most endearing, enduring, and prolific writers of worship songs—Isaac Watts.  He’s known as the “father of English hymnody” and credited with almost 520 songs.  You probably know him best through his songs “Joy to the World!…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Indescribable”

Good morning on this Wednesday!  What a day it is to praise the Lord!  We just finished up our Vacation Bible School this past Friday.  We did Group’s “Sky” and had a wonderful time worshiping the Lord.  One of the songs we sang last week has been on my mind constantly.  It’s a newer worship song, but not brand new.  In fact,…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “My Song Is Love Unknown”

The hymn form of worship music is absolutely irreplaceable because it just lends itself to breadth, depth, and poetry.  Such is the case with today’s worship song called “My Song Is Love Unknown.”  The beauty and detail with which Samuel Crossman wrote in 1664 concerning our Savior is staggering.  When sung to John Ireland’s meditative melodic dirge from 1918, the song moves…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Majesty (Here I Am)”

Good Wednesday to you! This is the day the Lord has made.  We will rejoice and be glad in it!  Of course, there are manifold reasons to rejoice, but today I want us to think about rejoicing in God’s majesty.  In fact, that’s the name of today’s song:  “Majesty (Here I Am).” Martin Smith and Stuart Garrard of the band Delirious? penned…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Hosanna”

Well, it’s Wednesday, and we’re once again turning our spotlight on songs to worship our great and glorious God.  He’s so awesome!  How could you not praise Him?!!! Today’s song is written by Brooke Fraser and also performed by her below along with the Hillsong band.  The song was published in 2006 by Hillsong Music Publishing and is included on a few…

Wednesday Is for Worship: “Behold Our God”

As many of you know, I’ve been a worship leader in some capacity since 1999. I’m passionate about music, especially music that magnifies the Lord!

Today I want to introduce a new weekly series that I pray will be beneficial to you. I’m calling the series “Wednesday Is for Worship,” and each week I’ll post a worship song to God. I pray you’ll use it to first sing praise to our great God and then to introduce it to others, hopefully even your congregation. Some of the songs will be new. Some will be old. But, all of them will extol the name and glories of God.

Our inaugural song is one that’s been on my heart for over a month now…
