Jesus – Chris Tomlin
Jesus.
The bridge of this song brings verse 10 to mind.
Messiah, my Savior
There is power in Your name
You’re my rock and, my redeemer
There is power in Your name
In Your name
I hope this song and others like it help you to see and experience the power of Jesus’ name and get to know him better as we sing of His character, traits, what He has done, and all He is to us.
Sing!
The book is short but filled with depth and wisdom. The book begins with the Biblical basis for congregational singing, and the need for the church to sing. We are created, commanded, and compelled to sing with our hearts and minds. This singing is not limited to a service on a Sunday morning, but extends to our families and through our community. The book ends with the point that our congregational singing witnesses to the world around us. Our singing declares the glory of God in the Gospel of Christ.
At the end of the book are several “Bonus Tracks” that are written for special groups of people such as pastors, worship leaders, musicians, songwriters, and those who work in the music industry.
While a pastor, worship leader, or worship musician may get the most out of this book, anyone-even non-musicians—can learn from the teaching and we can all be challenged with the truth that the important thing is singing with all your heart.
As a worship leader, I highly recommend it to other worship leaders and pastors. Even more, I believe any one of us would benefit from reading it as we strive to worship, declaring the glory of God as sing, proclaiming the gospel together in obedience to God.
Great Are You Lord
