Songs for 10:30 assembly: Sunday, February 23
​
​​
Praise Team - Thanks for your help this week!
​
Singing this week will be: (and forgive me if I get some of the ladies parts wrong - you're welcome to sing whatever part you want)
Soprano: Liz,
Alto: Brielle, Milayna
Tenor: Curtis
Bass: Caleb D, Tim
​
​​
Let's meet at 8:55 in the auditorium to go over songs and set microphone levels. Please sing in your car or sometime before you come so your voice is warmed up. If you get there before I do, hopefully you can set your individual microphones at the sound desk (be ready to sing through a few lines of a song) and then we can sing together as soon as all mics are set. I'll be in 1st service before we meet, but will come as soon as I can.
​
​​​
Things to know:
When you sing, be expressive and be joyful. Smile even with your eyebrows. Don't look miserable when you are on stage with us. It's not about a performance in any way, but dull and dreary looks are contagious to the rest of the church.
​​
Please keep in mind to dress modestly. Because we are on stage and higher than those in the first rows, just a quick reminder to keep skirts at least knee length. No shorts please. No spaghetti straps please.
​​
Music is provided below to let you see your part. We'll talk about verses and specifics of each song during practice on Sunday morning.

You can listen to Jesus We Love You below...it begins at 38:00 on this video. We will go through the build ("Our affection, our devotion, poured at on the feet of Jesus") without the background vocals. We'll just do the parts.
Everything below this line is old stuff.
Listen to Revive Us Again...it's a little different than the traditional We Praise Thee O God. In the video below...
"I Raise a Hallelujah" starts at 18:53
"Revive Us Again" starts at 22:38
​
I Will Call Upon the Lord (with key change and hallelujah's. We'll go through it at practice.)
What a Beautiful Name / Agnus Dei
Recording of Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) is below
Recording of "Were You There?" is below
A few notes:
​
Worthy is the Lamb is the one which begins, "Thank You for the cross Lord, Thank You for the price You paid..."
​
A few notes:
​
Worthy is the Lamb is the one which begins, "Thank You for the cross Lord, Thank You for the price You paid..."
​
We're going to do a key change at the end of I Will Call Upon the Lord. Here is how it will work:
After verse 1 and verse 2, we usually end with a final "I will call upon the Lord."
We will sing that as usual, but then I will raise it a step or two, and we'll go straight into verse 1 again.
So...
We'll sing the usual ending "I will call upon the Lord" (ladies echo)
Then raise a step or two
"I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, so shall I be saved from my enemies"
​
Then we'll go into the chorus again - and then I'll lead us through a section where everyone will echo what I sing (Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, He lives) - then back into the chorus and then we're done.
I recognize that reading about it does not really let you hear it. But know that it's not hard. However, I think it will be something a little different - and I hope that will be encouraging to everyone.
​
​
On Hymn of Heaven, we will sing it as normal, but at the end, we will go back into the chorus of Living Hope. Here is how it works:
There will be a day, when all will bow before Him
There will be a day, when death will be no more
Standing face to face, with He who died and rose again
Holy, holy is the Lord
(staying on the same note as "Lord" we'll move into the chorus of Living Hope)
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me...
Listen to Ancient of Days below.
Music for "What a Beautiful Name - Agnus Dei" (pdf) - look at slide 18 and 19 for the transition between What a Beautiful Name and Agnus Dei
This recording of Hymn of Heaven starts with ladies only, but I think we will start with everyone.
Here is the audio for Who You Say I Am, if you need it.
Here is the training tracks for Who You Say I Am, if you want it. I think it's Soprano/Tenor on one side of the audio track and Alto/Bass on the other.
The recording of God So Loved below is pretty electronic and tame, but it will let you hear the notes.
The recording of His Name is Wonderful below will test your "I try not to judge, but..." because it's pretty slow and...yeah. But for those who do not know it, maybe it will help you to hear it.
If anyone needs any additional music, let me know. I am happy to post it here or send it to you.

We ain't gonna sing it like they do, but it will at least give you an idea of the notes. We won't hold the first two notes out with the fermatas. We will keep the tempo consistent - not as fast as their second verse. And we'll probably only sing it through once? maybe?
Words to Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
​
Verse 1:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
look full in His wonderful face
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace
​
Turn your eyes to the hillside
where justice and mercy embrace
there the Son of God gave His life for us
And our measureless debt was erased
​
Turn your eyes to the morning
And see Christ the Lion awake
What a glorious dawn, fear of death is gone
For we carry His life in our veins
​
Turn your eyes to the heavens
Our King will return for His own
Every knee will bow, every tongue will shout
All glory to Jesus alone
