Sunday Setlist [5.15.11]
My wife and I will be worshiping with the fine folks at Providence Worshiping Arts Center in Jesup, GA today. Today it will just be me on the guitar and us singing. Here’s today’s planned setlist:
1) Christ is Risen (Maher): Key of G. Great song! I typically do this (with my home church) in the key of Gb. I’m pretty comfortable guitar-wise playing in G so a few months ago when I was leading at a another place I was sure we did this song in Ab, so when I pulled it out to lead there I thought I was doing myself a favor by dropping it a half-step to G. After a few bars through the song I realized my mistake. That being said, the band sounded good, and I didn’t want to throw too much change their way in the moment, so we kept it in G and as long as I bring my big boy tenor singing voice I can usually get through it in G pretty well.
2) Blessed Be Your Name (Redman): Key of G. Lydia will be singing the lead on the verses and I’ll come in with some harmony and then take over the chorus. I key it in G so that she can just rock the verses in her natural alto range. It works well, and provides a little variety as we trade off the melody throughout the song.
3) Our God (Tomlin): Key of G. Pretty Standard arrangement of the song. Usually when I lead this at my home church we rock it out a little more than the typical Tomlin-esque arrangement, but since it’s just me on the guitar it will be pretty standard.
4) Overcome (Egan): Key of G. One of my favorite songs over the past year. It’s such a great song! Love it!
5) He Loves Us (McMillan): Key of G. Optional tag out of Overcome into He Loves Us chorus. I don’t typically lead this one well, so I generally keep it at the back of the line when it comes to planning setlists, but as I was singing and worshiping yesterday preparing for this morning I really felt a tug in the direction of this song, so we’ll see how it goes coming out of Overcome.
