I Rejoice In You

Behind This Song:

Philippians is a great example of how to rejoice in the midst of, well, whatever circumstance. Paul says, "I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:12-13)

We have SO MANY reasons to "Rejoice in the Lord always" (Philippians 4:4). He's given us so many things. I mean, just salvation is reason enough to praise Him! But beyond that He's given us a peace that is unshakable and passes all understanding, a hope that goes beyond this life and this world, and a strength through His Spirit that is unstoppable!

Scripture:

Philippians 1:18, 1:21, 3:8, 4:3, 4:6-9, 4:13; Nehemiah 8:10, Colossians 1:5, 23, 27, 2:2; 1 Thessalonians 1:3, 2:19 and SO many more!

Recommendations:

I would suggest this as a pre-message song or a response to a message. It's not wholly worshipful in my opinion. Rather, it's very reflective on the work the Lord's done and is, therefore, more praise than worship.

You're Beautiful To Me

Behind This Song:

I wrote this as we were studying through the book of Romans. I was so struck in awe with the gospel message. How much we need to continually remember that we were once sinners and Christ died for us! How sweet our worship would always be if we kept this simple fact in the forefront of our minds! Kissing our Lord's feet should be our primary goal. He's so worthy!

Scripture:

Romans 3:23; Romans 6:12; Romans 5:1,9; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 10:13; Luke 17:25, 20:17; 1 Corinthians 13; Romans 8:22-23; Romans 10:13

Recommendations:

Worship, Small Groups, After Glow. This song is so intimate and powerful.

You Reign

Behind This Song:

My Pastor was going through Romans 13 and was going to be teaching on Government, Politics, and the Church. He was going to be talking about what our role is as Christ's people, in these areas. 

I felt like the Holy Spirit wanted a song that reminded people that HE makes men great. He puts people into power. He rises up nations and brings them down. He is sovereign and in control at all times. ALL creation is under His authority. 

Scripture:

1 Chronicles 29:11-13; Romans 13

Recommendations:

Great worship song. Also good for a response to a message if you feel the Lord leading. Small groups would work well also.

Lord Come

Behind This Song:

My husband and I were asked to join a prayer group that consisted of 4 couples, including ourselves. We were going to meet for a long period of time and spend a few hours a week together interceding for our body. During this time, I also felt the Lord leading our fellowship to be encouraged into using their spiritual gifts and having a fresh outpouring of His Spirit upon us. I have been praying for a revival in our nation for quite all while. 

It was a Saturday Night before my Pastor was going to teach through the book of Acts an the night before my prayer group started. I begged the Lord to give me a song that was for our prayer group and for this new season of fresh outpouring of His Spirit. I was sitting on my couch and the room was chaotic (I have four little kids, a husband, and my sister lived with us). Yet here I was, communing with the Lord, in the midst of the chaos, asking Him for something special, and I picked up my guitar and out spilled this song! 

Scripture:

It is inspired by Acts 2, as well as 2 Chronicles 7:14. 

Recommendations:

I would recommend this song for a response to a message or an afterglow song. It also would be a good one to play before you begin a worship set to prepare people's hearts to worship the Lord. This is great for small groups, prayer groups, and especially afterglows.

We Your Church

Behind This Song:

This song was written for a topical study that my pastor did on the purpose of the church. I wanted it to have the feeling of unity and joy. It's a song the body can sing together and have united hearts and with one voice. 

The verses remind us of the unique and awesome organism (for lack of a better term) that we are as the body of Christ! Brethren! With one Purpose! With Lives Redeemed and purchased by our Savior! It's such a glorious thing!! I pray you read the scripture references at the bottom of the sheet so you have a fresh reminder of this glorious thing called "Church".

The chorus, of course, is worshipful, and the whole church just sings "Holy, Holy, Holy!" As if to say, "Thank you Lord for making us Your children, Your bride, Your Church! You're so Worthy! Only You, a Holy God, is capable of such a magnificent thing! Holy, Holy, Holy are You!"

2 Corinthians 13:11 
1 Timothy 2:8 
Romans 15:5-6 
Philippians 1:27 
Philippians 2:1-11 
1 Peter 3:8-9

Recommendations:
