Well, I'm attempting something new, because I've seen value in knowing what goes on at other churches with other worship leaders. I'm participating in a network of blogging worship leaders who share their sunday morning songs, through www.fredmckinnon.com. Seems to be edifying enough. Most at our church know that I plan two services--one traditional and one more modern. I'll only post the more modern one, because it's more in line with what these folks are talking about.
SONGS OF GATHERING, PRAISE, CONFESSION, & GRACE
Indescribable (Laura Story)
A modern worship "staple" with great reflections on God's transcendent character, akin to Isa 40
Psalm 76 (Trinity Psalter, Zac Hicks)
One of our originals, on our upcoming album, a versified version of the psalm, with strong Divine Warrior overtones, which I connect to Jesus in the chorus and the bridge.
(Instrumental time of confession)
Why Should I Fear? (Red Mountain Church, Brian T. Murphy/Benj Pocta)
One of my favs from Red Mountain's "This Breaks My Heart of Stone" hymn project; folky, beautiful, perfect for words/assurance of pardon after a time of confession.
OFFERTORY (We usually do a congregational song [as opposed to special music] during the offering)
There is Room (Emily E.S. Elliott, Zac Hicks)
A great song of consecration off our album, with the chorus, "Come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for You."
SONG OF RESPONSE (after sermon)
Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder (John Newton, Indelible Grace)
The message preached was on the Jerusalem council deliberations in Acts 15--a lot of the themes of which involved recognizing that the Law, fulfilled in Christ, should not be a burden to the Gentiles. Newton's hymn, one of the great wordsmithing jobs of all time, was a perfect response for this. We did it very U2-esque in a "Still Haven't Found" style.
Up to bat:
Zac - vox, acoust, elec
Katy Brumley - vox
Erick Young - vox, acoust, mandolin

I read a few topics. I respect your work and added blog to favorites.
Hey Zac
Thanks for the post, interesting to read.
Wondering if you'd elaborate on what an instrumental time of confession looks like at your church - sounds interesting

This Sunday was nothing fancy, really. Our pianist improvised as I verbally transitioned us out of the previous song ("Psalm 76") into a time when I allowed about 1 min of silent prayers of confession. It was just a way of making the progression more seamless, providing that "flow," more longed for in modern worship.
Confession, on other Sundays, takes the form of an actual song, or a part of a song which is confessional in nature and expression. Yet other Sundays, we simply stop, pray, and pause in silence to confess.
